Hello, Fellow Traveler!

  I am having a blast playing in my current Five Parsecs From Home campaign, but I cannot resist thinking about the next one! It’s my nature to look forward. 

I also just bought the Doctor Who Magic the Gathering Commander Decks—the classic doctors and the enemies decks specifically. I am not a big Magic player, but I am a huge Who fan, and I could not resist despite the high cost of these decks. 

Then that got me thinking, doesn’t Five Parsecs have sneaky secret rules for Time Lords? Yes, they do. Thank you, Ivan Sorensen! 

The Traveler is a lesser known alien from the core rulebook. They enjoy a 4 starting Toughness, and gain +2” to movement when moving directly AWAY from an enemy! What could be more Doctor Who than that? They can also randomly disappear forever after each battle, or gain your crew a new quest. 

So my next crew is going to feature a Traveler as one of their main protagonists. Since I love kit-bashing North Military Figure bits, I decided to craft my own Traveler / Time Lord from various hard plastic bits. 

Here’s my (as yet unnamed) Traveler! 

North Star Wizard as the base body with Stargrave arms.

Stargrave bits to add more sci-fi accents. 

Painted with various speed paints and acrylics. 

I wanted to make him a ginger, since there has never been a ginger Doctor. 

I am not sure how he will play in-game. I plan on keeping him unarmed, but will that be effective in game so reliant on combat? In the end, I don’t really care. I will find chances for him to do his investigative thing. 

I can’t wait to try him out! 

Thanks for reading!
