Tékumel / Empire of the Petal Throne
« on: June 08, 2012, 03:10:02 AM »
Does anyone have any experience with the Tékumel / Empire of the Petal Throne setting?  I have been trying to collect all of the various system & setting books, as well as the novels for a couple of years now.  I think it is a very interesting setting, and I hope to run an EPT 1-shot at a convention in November.

I remember reading Man of Gold a very long time ago and was impressed by Prof. Barker's world building. I did manage to get a copy of the Guardians of Order version of Tekumel but have never played an EPT game. It has to rank as one of the oldest RPG setting around.

I just finished reading Man of Gold.  He has 4 more novels as well, though they are hard to find.

Like Tolkien the use of language played a major role in making up his setting.

All my knowledge of Tekumel is derived from High on Fire lyrics!  LOL
