Tekumel is one of the oldest, richest, and most unique settings out there. It seamlessly blends elements of many non-western cultures with elements of fantasy and sci-fi. It is so detailed that there are several unique languages that have been created for the setting. You can learn to speak Tsolyani! Here are a bunch of links to info about my favorite setting:This one:groups.yahoo.com/group/tekumel/files/is part of the unmoderated Yahoo! e-group which is really cool toread--lotsa old school gamers on there. There's also a moderated Yahoo! e-group where the professor responds to questions. Both are easily accessedfrom the main page of <a href="http://www.tekumel.com:" target="_blank">www.tekumel.com:</a><a href="http://www.tekumel.com/tekumel.html" target="_blank">www.tekumel.com/tekumel.html</a>which is also home to the Blue Room archive (lots more free stuff--much of it netbooks by Barker himself):<a href="http://www.tekumel.com/blueroomframeset.html" target="_blank">www.tekumel.com/blueroomframeset.html</a>and "The Excellent Travelling Volume" which is a description of everything published for Tekumel and what info can be found inside.Brett Slocum's Tekumel site also has a good overview of the world and links to many other Tekumel websites:<a href="http://www.skypoint.com/~slocum/tekumel/" target="_blank">www.skypoint.com/~slocum/tekumel/</a>If anyone likes this & wants published material and/or figs, follow the link on the site to "Tita's House of Games". They have the widest selection of in and out of print materials. Also, PHD gamesmakes Tekumel miniatures (if anyone likes minis but me). You can link to them from Tita's.Some of the best material for Tekumel is undoubtedly the novels. The first two Tekumel novels are easiest to get on half.com or e-bay They're "Man of Gold" and "Flamesong" by M.A.R. Barker. The third novel called "Lords of Tsamra" and the fourth novel "Prince of Skulls" were recently published by Zottola Publishing and are available through "Tita's House of Games":<a href="http://www.tekumel.com/tita/index.html" target="_blank">www.tekumel.com/tita/index.html</a>Those who are interested in the Tsolyani language can learn a world a day at:<a href="http://www.geocities.com/teresh_...laday.html" target="_blank">www.geocities.com/teresh_...laday.html</a>Here is a preview of the art from the upcoming "Tekumel: Empire of the Petal Throne" game (from Guardians of Order) that will be coming out this summer:<a href="http://www.guardiansorder.com/gr...loads.html" target="_blank">www.guardiansorder.com/gr...loads.html</a>And, finally, here is a Tekumel newsgroup that is pretty much defunct but has a few Tekumel-related posts:groups.google.com/groups?...n&safe=offEnjoy!MtbDM</blockquote>
