Lords of Creation never really had much of a following even among gamers. It never got anywhere near the numbers of D&D, or even Call of Cthulhu or Paranoia or Shadowrun.

I have to admit it doesn't ring a bell....I did AD&D, Gamma World and Shadow Run.

He has always and consistently been called simply as "the doctor".

And yes, I am totally cheating as in no way can Peter Cushing be described as the "real doctor".

In fact, I don't remember him identifying himself as anything other than just "the doctor".

But you may be right. On the other hand, this is one of those iconic Dr. Who questions. To answer it one has to go to the source, the BBC TV program.

My best to you.

except for the Cushing movies which of course don't count.
