In ''White Dwarf'' #77, Marsh's last issue as editor, the contents page included an acrostic regarding the company's new Managing Director, Bryan Ansell, which read "Sod Off Bryan Ansell".〔 When Games Workshop relocated to Nottingham in 1986 he left the company, preferring to remain in London. In 1989, he approached Peter Darvill-Evans at Virgin Books about writing a new Doctor Who role-playing game, Time Lord,〔Doctor Who - Time Lord (1991) (ISBN 0-426-20362-3) (a role-playing game with Peter Darvill-Evans) 〕 following the expiration of the licence held by FASA. Time Lord (role-playing game) materialised in 1991 as a paperback distributed through the book trade. In 1996, Marsh regained the rights to Time Lord and republished it free on the internet.〔(Torson online )〕〔(Precis Intermedia Games )〕 He moved to Freshwater, Isle of Wight, in 1999 and established wargaming figures distributor Fighting 15s.
