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.

Raxacoricofallapatorian Species Template

Raxacoricofallapatorians are large, bulky humanoids, around 3 meters tall. They had thick, lumpy skin, ranging in color from a yellowish green to a paler, grey-green. They have the instincts of a hunter and long arms with three sharp claws which they use to kill their prey. Despite their large bulk, they were also capable of surprising speeds and can easily overpower a Human. Raxacoricofallapatorians can hunt by scent and can identify an individual's species, age, sex, emotional state and location by it. Raxacoricofallapatorians hatch from large green eggs with several tendrils. The females of the species can create poison when in danger, released either by a dart-like claw or by their breath. Raxacoricofallapatorians have a more efficient metabolism than a Human, meaning they only need to eat every few weeks and produce less waste. Raxacoricofallapatorian blood is red and their tears are milky in color and slightly acidic. Due to their calcium-based biochemistry, Raxacoricofallapatorians are vulnerable to acetic acid and react explosively with it, a feature that is utilized in the Raxacoricofallapatorian death penalty. Raxacoricofallapatorius is a paradise with burgundy seas and four polar regions. It is filled with several indigenous species. A creature native to the planet, known as a Barladootkaliumpetekshus Beast, is said to be an extinct species of native giant squirrel that roamed free and lived on the great plains of the planet. It became extinct after the natives hunted and killed them for food centuries ago. Its sister planet is Clom. The Slitheen and Blathereen notwithstanding, the native species, the Raxacoricofallapatorians, are a generally peaceful race. They are governed by a High Council and a Senate. The Raxacoricofallapatorians are more advanced than Humans and have developed faster-than-light travel in the form of slipstream engines sometime prior to 2006. The Raxacoricofallapatorians' most distinguishable technology is their compression field. The Slitheen and Blathereen families are able to disguise themselves as other, smaller humanoids by fitting into their skins (or artificial skins). This is done with the compression-field collars that are worn on the neck.
