This years Cangames game (May 19, 2024) will be another Doctor Who game, based on the TV episode the Shakespeare Code. The game will be set in London England in 1599 with the Tenth Doctor, Martha and a variety of Elizabethan
characters attempting to foil or expedite the
scheme of six witch-like Carrionites to rewrite the ending Shakespeare’s play
Love's Labour's Won rewording it to cast a spell to free the rest of the Carrionite
race from imprisonment bring destruction to the world. The scenario is based on a two player scenario created for the Doctor Who the Miniature Games Rules (DWMG).
Unlike previous years when I used the DWMG rules, this time I plan to use Pulp Alley rules as I think these rules are better suited to represent this multi-player scenario. Those of you who have read some of my earlier blogs will know I have used these rules for other genres in the past. A short introductory video on the rules by the author Dave, can be found here:

Those of you who just watched the video will have heard Dave say that the rules are designed for up to four players and I will likely have 5 to 7 players, so some adjustments will have to be made. This includes drawing coloured tiles to determine who moves to speed up the game. Additionally I have kept the leagues small, 3 figures per player.
This will be an "evergreen" post as it will get updated as I progress preparing.
