[QUOTE="trilobite, post: 1486294, member: 15531"] Let it be know that I am starting up a [I]Empire of the Petal Throne [/I] PbP game using the D&D 3.5 rules with varients found in Unearth Arcana. This campaign is set in the world of M.A.R Barker’s [I]Empire of the Petal Throne[/I]. Humans and other species colonized the planet Tékumel millennia ago. Since then, it has lost contact with the wider universe. The present level of technology is around that of the pre-gunpowder European Middle Ages, with a few exceptions. Here are some important points to bear in mind : · The social background of Tékumel is not medieval, but is closer to that of certain ancient non-Western societies, like Egypt or India or China. The social system is a complex hierarchy of extended family groups called clans. Etiquette and honor are very important. · There are no horses or riding animals on Tékumel, since the original colonists did not bring any. There is a draft animal, called the Chlén, which is similar to a six-legged triceratops. · There are no stars in the nighttime sky. · There are several intelligent species on Tékumel, of which humanity is one of the most feared. The intelligent species are divided into two blocs, those allied to humanity and those opposed to it. For the most part, these blocs antedate the Time of Darkness when Tékumel lost contact with the wider universe. · The planet lacks large metal deposits, so iron and steel are extremely valuable. · The ecosystem is a mix of imported, artificial, native and mutated life forms. Some of it is very unpleasant. · Humanity has been on Tékumel a long time (30,000+ years). If you want more information you can find it at the excellent [url]www.tekumel.com[/url] website. I will also post alot of info on the world on this thread to help everyone who is not familiar with the setting. Hopefully I will get 4 or 5 interested players to play in this game. It hope to provide a fun and interesting role-playing experience for everyone involved. Next......Rules and Character Generation. [/QUOTE]
