I also play in Tekumel! How can I tell you about my sessions?

This blog is different from most other blogs! How?
It's the collective work of people who don't play together, for one thing. So the Tekumel we're talking about is always OUR Tekumel.
Remember that line by Prof. Barker in "Empire of the Petal Throne"? "This is MY Tekumel. Now make it YOURS!" (Capitalization mine). We've all done this to one degree or another, and we're sharing the results with you.

Now, the only question is...do you want to share your campaign with us? Whether you're playing an RPG in Tekumel, or a wargame, or something else?
E-mail me to actualplayintekumel@abv.bg and we're going to talk. All I ask is that you prioritize narrating what was happening "in character" - but by all means, tell us about the mechanics you're using, too!

Sons' of the Vríddi -9 Dohála 2340. Part 2

The game definitely started to take a darker turn as the evening went on. Part 2 Practice makes perfect, as someone once said, and both Horu and Ghachayal had a lot of practice doing these types of jobs.   Yet, something was bothering Ghachayal; why should a lowly scribe be such a concern and require this attention? Wouldn't it have been easier, and cheaper, if Agama had just gotten some toughs from the marketplace to settle the matter? A few kaitars, a quick stab in the back when Kageshi was making his way home one night, the obvious victim of a robbery. Normally, Ghachayal didn't bother to ask why, or even expect an answer. When given a task he saw it through and that was the end of it. Many things had changed in the last few months, including it would seem himself. Lost in thought, Ghachayal suddenly started, and almost fell from the palanquin. "You realise that you've been set up" a voice had clearly said. A voice that didn't belong to Horu, o...

Sons' of the Vríddi -9 Dohála 2340. Part 1.

Image
Game Session 12, November 25, 2017 This is the first part of a long and productive Saturday evening of gaming. I have jumped ahead about 8 months real time, (and 6 months game time) from the first post. The party is currently 3rd Level. 9 Dohála 2340. (6 months and many hundreds of Tsan later) Part 1. The evening is cool, but tolerable, and the nearby neatly tended garden is full of the sound of insects and other nocturnal creatures. If one carefully looks one can see armed guards patrolling the shadows.   Although only 5 people are seated on the thick carpet the amount of noise being generated by them would lead one to believe, were he not standing nearby, that a party was being held. Much laughter, and shouts of joy and disbelief could be heard. A musician is playing on a stringed instrument, adding to the general merriment. The five people are, and in no particular order, Horu hiFa'asu, Ghachayal hiKhalumis, Dadayal hiVríddi , Autso hiVríddi, and Agama hiViri...

Why did we decide to write another Tekumel blog?

As I mentioned, this blog is different from most other blogs! How? It's the collective work of people who don't play together, for one thing. So the Tekumel we're talking about is always OUR Tekumel. Remember that line by Prof. Barker in "Empire of the Petal Throne"? "This is MY Tekumel. Now make it YOURS!" (Capitalization mine). We've all done this to one degree or another, and we're sharing the results with you. Why do we bother? Well, as you guessed, there's a reason for this endeavour. In short, there are a couple popular misconceptions about Tekumel that are really getting on our nerves. This blog is an answer to all of them. If someone ever tells you "you can't understand Tekumel"/"you need a Degree in Tekumeli Studies to play or run Tekumel"/any variation of the previous points...point them to this blog! If someone ever asks "But what do you DO in Tekumel?", point them to this blog. If someo...
