    Well, that's incredible. What a treasure trove. And, you're right; never heard of it! Very cool share.

    Aaaaand now I need to run some Tekumel. Victor is such a good ambassador for the game.

    Hall of Blue Illumination is a fantasy Tèkumel podcast that I strongly recommend giving a listen even if you're just interested in the early days of the hobby.

    Big fan of everything going on here! An early test copy of "Egg of the World" Victor gifted me a while back has become one of my most treasured possessions, and I have good faith we will be seeing another blooming of Tekumel in the future! Kick ass video gents!

      It was impromptu and we started rolling mid conversation. Victor will be on our Livestream to talk about Tekumel relatively soon

      Would love to learn more as well. The name Tekumel rings a bell but a propper introduction would be really nice. Good work!

    Great interview. I've read the old sourcebook and two of the novels. It's a fascinating, alien, adventuring world.

    I'm hoping the guard duty job is literally hours of fucking nothing happening... lol like real guard duty.
    sounds fun, never had a chance to play Tèkumel.

    I had this as a kid. Never actually played it but I stole from it copiously. The hex map locations was very evocative.

    Who in RPGs hasn't heard of Tekumel and Empire of the Petal Throne? I wonder if you'll be discussing M.A.R. Barker's other "controversial" work?

      Those that are not able to differentiate and separate the art from the artist are free to not engage with the works of the artist and adjacent products and it's perfectly fine. It becomes an issue only when they consider the people that do chose to engage with it are automatically agreeing with said views.

    • @blacklodgegames

      @@Iulian111 well said, and Barker's controversial works are not reflected in Tekumel at all, thankfully.

    A word of caution for those without a playbook--Victor Raymond is a mega-Wokist.

      People make the same types of warnings about us from the other direction. It's all so tiresome, people can make up their own minds.
