Greetings

Welcome to Lug Who. To date, there have been two officially licensed Doctor Who RPGs. The best of the two has always (in my mind) been the game published by FASA, based on their Star Trek RPG. So, when Last Unicorn Games published a new Star Trek RPG, I felt its system (with its highly detailed character stats) was ideally suited to a Doctor Who RPG. Alas, this never came to pass. So, after thinking about it all these years, I've decided to create this site. Here I will post original species templates, advantages, disadvantages, skills, equipment, ships, etc. I will be accepting submissions from anyone who might be interested in roleplaying with the Icon system.

To submit content send an email to: lugwho@gmail.com

P.S. Feel free to submit alternate ideas for things already posted.

Silurian Species Template

Silurians are a very diverse species, with at least two known phenotypes. In general, Silurians are cold-blooded, roughly the size as humans, with a large head, four digits on each hand and green scaly skin. Their mouths are small and somewhat sucker-like. The noticeable features of the Silurians are their three eyes. Their main eyes are bright yellow with cat-like pupils.
The third eye is red and on their foreheads. Their third eye has various abilities, such as stunning or killing their opponents, signaling each other, or opening doors keyed to emanations from the third eye. All of these abilities appear to be psychic in nature. The eye glows when it is active. As mentioned, there are two major subspecies of Silurian. The first type have green, lumpy skin, a large mouth, rectangular ears and an inset third eye. The second have a stockier build, brown skin, a smaller mouth and the third eye on top of their heads.They also have ornate spikes on their head. At some point in Earth's history the Silurians were the rulers of the planet. They were led by the Triad and used the Sea Devils as soldiers. Eventually, they discovered a large planet coming dangerously close to Earth. This panicked the Silurians, who sent themselves into hibernation to protect their species. Though this planet was actually just the Moon, the hibernation technology was faulty. After millions of years they finally awakened. After this, in the late 20th century the Silurians clashed with Humans and attempted to reclaim the planet. They were repelled by UNIT. At the beginning of the 21st century the Silurians finally attempted to make peace with Humanity. They quickly develop close ties with UNIT and begin serving with UNIT by 2003. However, in the year 2084, a group of Silurians allied with the Sea Devils attempted to provoke war amongst humanity. By the 26th century Silurians have been fully accepted into Terran society and the term "Earth Reptile" is adopted as the politically correct racial term.
