They're the last three produced by Scott, Robert Valentine is taking over afterwards.

Might want to correct the thread title, its not actually the end of the range…
“But it’s about to reach the end of a chapter... and embark on a new beginning. Before Robert Valentine takes the reins…”
Anyway very exciting news!

Brilliant news! It’s been an excellent range on the whole, very distinct and Derek Jacobi is never anything less than a tour de force. And still three more sets go before we head to the next era. 10 sets with Derek Jacobi’s Master, who’d have thought that?

Honestly can’t believe it (though am a bit surprised 2024 seems to be getting only one set). |

Always good news to hear that a range is continuing. I have all the previous sets and next month’s pre-ordered, but I will probably wait to hear more about these sets.
The War Master can be a distressing listen and after the last two sets I did think that I wouldn’t continue with the range…but Escape from Reality sounded fun so I decided to go on.
Personally I feel I need plenty of light in a story to help counteract the darkness that is the War Master.
A title like Solitary Confinement could go very dark or be really fun with the Master stuck with him (or her) self!

With a name like Solitary Confinement, it could very well be a story featuring The Master trapped within the mind of Professor Yana. |

Also interesting to note the one that was rumored Future Phantoms is that one for 2024 and currently has no Recording info attached whereas the other ones do. Regards mark687 |

Turns out that leak was partially correct. War Master 9 in June 2023 & WM10 in Dec 2023.
I was going to put these 2 on my list, but discovered them already there, with (?), which means it was from that leak. So will put a “c” for confirmed beside the “?”.
Will wait until release date of the last volume. Handling backlog first. Haven’t listened to WM6 Killing Time yet & have next month’s release preordered.

Scott has brought so much to the range, and it’s sad and exciting that he’s leaving Big Finish, but Rob Valentine taking over is a treat. I might be a tad bias as I count him as a genuine friend from doing my podcast, but the man has talent out the wazoo!

Wow so pleased with this news, such a consistent range and the Wonderful Sir Derek is always amazing, a true master of his craft.
Are the next three sets linked? That would be cool.
Scott has done a fantastic job, I'd probably say the War Master range is one of my absolute favourites, I'm sure he'll do a wonderful job on the tv show.
Rob Valentine has a lot of potential, I can't say I've heard many of his stories but I'm looking forward to his 3 part War Doctor Begins set next month, perhaps he's really impressed behind the scenes and his work on War Doctor Begins has earned him this new role.
Really excited for the future, good luck to Scott and Rob.

I was expecting Future Phantoms to be the next Boxset but pleasantly surprised that we are getting two more
Also doubly surprised that the range is continuing after Handcock’s exit
Hopefully Robert valentine can keep the Constiency of good writing in the range
Wonder what characters will be coming back
Part of me thinks the war Doctor will be making an appearance
Would be cool to see The Valeyard make an appearance given that John Dorney helped established that he had been working with the time lords in the time war and was one of their best warriors but I doubt it will ever happen
Still not preordering till there are more details

On the face of it it seems kinda weird to see the War Master range exploding while the other Time War ranges are kinda stalling out... which is less me complaining about the other ranges and more me reinforcing how ecstatic I am at this news, because I keep expecting long droughts of no War Master stories and dreading it. This is phenomenal news! I've done my fair share bit of griping at BF's shenanigans of late, but Derek Jacobi's War Master is just the thing to get me to enthusiastically part from my money. Can't wait to see how this plays out -- especially considering that, as far as I'm aware, this will be the very first time we've gotten a long-form story arc with the Master. Might want to correct the thread title, its not actually the end of the range… “But it’s about to reach the end of a chapter... and embark on a new beginning. Before Robert Valentine takes the reins…” Anyway very exciting news! I was definitely panicking for a while there! Wound up reading through everything three times before I fully caught that quote. Scary! It was scary! |

Just thought about it but Solitary Confinement might also be about the MacQueen Master trying to hold the War Master incarnation inside of him. I rememebr the VNA hinted that the 7th doctor was the one who killed 6 from the inside, which is too dark for any incarnation of the doctor but could be an interesting concept with the Jacobi Master imo.

Maybe as a take on your idea, the War Master finds himself temporarily afflicted with Regenerative Dissonance? Trying to outthink his past incarnations while ensuring his latest plan goes ahead. |
