Pyramids of Mars Scenario

Hi

Possibly a bit of a long shot for a first forum post, but does anyone remember a CoC scenario published in the mid to late 1980s based on the Dr Who storyline "Pyramid of Mars".

It was a British publication - I think in a fanzine, but I might be wrong there!

Thanks for this - I spent of fair bit of time going through it but no luck. Not time wasted though, I so thoroughly enjoyed the trip down memory lane and reflecting on how many of these I had back in the day that as I've got a day off tomorrow, I have decided to spend it unearthing my 80s RPG material - not sure my wife will be as enthusiastic about my plans though - from the boxes in the loft where it has been stored (I hope) for the last 20 or so years.

Just for the record (in case anyone is interested) I found it. It was in a fanzine called Manic Depressive Issue 1. A fairly straight rehash of the Pyramids of Mars story line but the setting could make for a really good brief interlude for investigators. Having found the fanzine I also found a couple of interesting pieces about the fanzine editor (Nick Edwards) and his rpg history - https://thegrognardfiles.com/2018/03/05/fanzine-scrap-book-nick-edwards-part-one/ and https://thegrognardfiles.com/2018/03/06/fanzine-scrap-book-nick-edwards-part-two/.

My original interest was triggered about a year or so ago when ordering some Blacktree Design orcs, I spotted their Dr Who figures and all the supporting cast for this episode.

Where is it available? I'm a big fan of old fanzines!
