This upcoming December release has really peaked my interest. I'm curious what kind of rogues are we likely to encounter?
Some of these perhaps?
The Eleven (The Collective)
Another Master/Missy
The War Doctor?
The Rani
The Monk
Davros
The Great Intelligence as voiced by Sir Ian McKellen - seriously how good would that be!
I don't think anything has been announced yet?

Wikipedia lists The Twelve being in it but never been able to find a source on that.

Rogue Encounters sounds like it should be an anthology style release and does lead you to imagine which rogues the War Master could encounter.
There are many options, but I am not sure who would be able to provide a suitable adversary.
Another Master/Missy would certainly be fun. I am patiently waited for The Three Masters.
If the Twelve rumour turns out to be true;
A) I can see Julia McKenzie working well with Derek Jacobi.
B) That the Twelve will have something to prove against the War Master.
C) I will be reaching for my debit card!
The idea of getting Ian McKellen in a story with Derek Jacobi would be incredible. Him playing the Great Intelligence would be…well I’m not sure if I can think of a suitable superlative.
But I keep imagining how the War Master would react to that ultimate rogue Time Lord….Drax!

I've not purchased a War Master story before, but the Bilis addition has suddenly changed all that! I'd no idea Murray Melvin had recorded these stories - what great news.

Usually the announcement of BF's next "X meets Y" crossover has me rolling my eyes, but the War Master vs Bilis is one I hadn't seen coming & I am looking forward to it

The inclusion of Bilis doesn’t do a great deal for me, as someone who doesn’t actively follow the Torchwood range - at least not the “present” iteration - but I know he means a lot to people and to get an extra appearance is always something to cherish. I am very much intrigued by the Yana story and I like how these seem to have a more standalone approach, which is welcome after the overriding story arcs of the recent releases, which have inadvertently become formulaic as a result.

I sort of assumed Sigil was going to be Murray's swansong as Billis, but if it turns out that Rogue Encounters gets to hold that distinction then what better sign off for both actor and character than to go toe to toe with Derek Jacobi and the Master?

Instand pre-order from me.
Previously, was not very interested.
But now there is a story of the Master going up against Billis Manger?
How epic is this.
My bets are of course on Billis for kicking the Master's butt.

The cover has a diamond in the background, and the release date has been moved forward from December to November.
Was the anthology style, and the appearances of both Bilis and Yana, planned for this anniversary all the way back in 2020?

Forget Once and Future, Bilis Manger Vs The Master? That’s something far more exciting to look forward to.
