Honestly part of me wonders if this is a Prequel To Rage of The Time Lords
also i wonder if Volume 6 will feature {Spoiler} Susan, The Brigadier, Romana 2 as the classic characters that were mentioned I can understand your first and third classic character guesses, but why the middle one? That feels somewhat random as there hasn’t been any Time War version of that character and I wouldn’t associate them with the other two. Or am I missing something?

Well given that {Spoiler} The Brigadier and Jo Grant appear in Masterful i would assume that its possible that The War Master ends up in that time period during one of his "missions" also there is history between the two and without the doctor
well im just speculating

well im just speculating That’s a good shout actually. And The War Master’s appearances have got a history of connecting with other sets and ranges. EDIT: I just randomly remembered that Katy told me she’d recently recorded with Derek Jacobi in early March at a convention. I posted about it in the obscure news thread at the time.

I Wonder if we will ever get Jacobi's Introduction story as the master (from his previous incarnations regeneration)?

Although I would love to hear it, I doubt Big Finish would want to do a proper regeneration from the previous incarnation. Currently I think the War Master followed the “Hello You” Master, but with so many years (hopefully) ahead for the Eighth Doctor on audio I am not sure Big Finish would want to restrict themselves and not have the ability to add in another Master. Although they do sometimes like to set themselves challenges...I am waiting to find out how/if they solve the Ollistra conundrum. As I said I would love to hear it, especially if it happened part way through a story and you didn’t know it was coming.

True but it depends if Titan Comics is "canon" or can be referenced by Big Finish

Every time I think the covers couldn’t possibly get any more beautiful, they go and make something like this. Man, I’d love a wall poster of this!

And Tom Webster has now posted the textless version as well:

Love that cover! I prefer the textless version where the colour pops a bit better, and it’s less cropped, but a minor quibble.

Note that McGann gets starring billing here, whereas it was "with Paul McGann" on Rage of the Time Lords.

I'm guessing that he's a full costar in this one, rather than a guest in an episode or two.

The latest Vortex confirms that Jo Jones & Nyssa are in Killing Time. They’re both a long time after they’ve left the Doctor.
It should be interesting, given both have a long history with the Master. And Nyssa was unexpected.

The Ollistra conundrum is simply...
How can Big Finish use the character when we know that Carolyn Pickles regenerates into Jacqueline Pearce before the Time War and Jacqueline Pearce is with the War Doctor.
I did wonder if Ollistra could be a Time Lord who alternates their appearance, so that every odd numbered incarnation is Carolyn and ever even numbered is Jacqueline. Then we could have Ollistra played by Carolyn Pickles before the War, during the War and after the War, but as a different Incarnation of Ollistra each time.

I also always thought of Ken Bones as the Ollistra after Jacqueline, but it looks like there's no chance of that considering TW4

I mean, I'd be happy if they keep her in the background and acting through envoys such as Veklin. We could still see a new regeneration down the line in Gallifrey Time War, while keeping the War Doctor present in the background. I still want to see the lead-up to Day of the Doctor/The End of Time from the pov of Romana/Narvin/Ollistra/Rasmus/etc.
