"The Master has stolen a weapon that will give him ultimate control of the universe and of time itself. The Daleks are invading Earth. The Cybermen are terrorizing the space lanes. And the Sontarians and the Rutans are battling to see who wins the galaxy.
"Only YOU, the Time Lords and Companions of the Celestial Intervention Agency, can stop these villains from changing the course of history. Your weapons are your wits and your TARDIS. To join the Doctor in his adventures to defeat the foes of the universe, you only need your imagination, a pencil, some paper, and this game!"
...box cover quote.

For fans this boxed set by FASA represents a mine of source material. I'm no expert on the series, but it looks like the writers put a lot of love into the writing.

The set contains 3 books:

A Player's Manual containing character creation rules, rules for play, and a glossary of game terms.

A Game Operations Manual with suggestions on creating adventures, hints for adventure presentation, information on the creation of the campaign world, and rules for judging.

A Sourcebook for Field Operatives containing a Time Traveller's Handbook, TARDIS Operator's Manual, Visitor's Guide to Gallifrey, equipment descriptions, and much background information.

I had this set some years back, and it got lost during one of my many moves from place to place. I was so glad to see it available here; it has always been one of my favorite RPGs. I snapped it up at a princely price, and it showed up in almost exactly the same condition as my original set--even the original dice were intact! (One red, one white, each six-sided.) More than happy with this purchase. You can definitely trust this seller!
