Cubicle 7 has explained how its upcoming Doctors & Daleks game takes the Dungeons & Dragons 5E combat system and modifies it to match the Doctor’s non-violent philosophy. This week, Cubicle 7 will release Doctors & Daleks, a new Doctor Who tabletop roleplaying game that uses Dungeons & Dragons 5E rules. Cubicle 7 already publishes the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game, which includes rules for playing in any era of the beloved BBC sci-fi franchise, so Doctors & Daleks is specifically designed for TTRPG players who are familiar with 5E. Of course, a large chunk of Dungeons & Dragons’ ruleset is its combat system which seemingly flies in the face of one of the core tenets of Doctor Who - a show that usually seeks out problem-solving and conflict resolution as an alternative to fighting. Last week, Cubicle 7 explained how it modified 5E’s combat rules to better fit with Doctor Who’s outlook on conflict and violence.
