	Yes, one was just released by FASA.  These are the same
 people that released the STAR TREK role-playing game.  The Dr. Who
 game is set up in a similar way and the combat system is almost
 identical.  

	The game does have a few problems though.  I am not totally
 happy with the way they are doing character generation.  There does
 not seem to be much difference in the way non-time lords are
 generated from the way time-lords are.  In fact, the only
 difference that I have found is in the generation of age.

	The game does not seem entirely well organized.  In fact in
 some places the rules contradict themselves.

	I have not had a chance yet to run a scenario since there
 are none included in the game and the others from FASA have not yet
 been released.  The only scenario that I know of is one which
 appeared in this months issue of STARDATE which, unfortunately, the
 people I play with had read.
