	Tékumel: Empire of the Petal Throne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tekumel has spawned four professionally-published roleplaying games over the course of the years:

	Jorune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While Jorune had many original and quite different ideas in its setting (compared to the role-playing games of its day) it was often perceived as a poor man's Tekumel due to a number of similarities.
		These included the idea of human's colonising a distant planet and subsequently losing contact with the rest of humanity (a dimensional rift in Tekumel's case, civil war in Jorune's) leading to the regression of the colonist's society and war against the planet's native inhabitants.
		For example, some game terms were derived from the language of Jorune, such as the use of "Sholari" ("master") for the gamemaster.

	M. A. R. Barker - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In his youth, he created the world of Tekumel, a fantasy world based on Ancient India, the Middle East, the Aztecs and Mayans, and other non-European sources.
		Tekumel has spawned three professionally-published roleplaying games over the course of the years ("Empire of the Petal Throne", "Swords and Glory" and "Gardasiyal: Adventures in Tekumel"), as well as fan-produced rules ("Tirikelu" and others).
		A brand-new roleplaying game set in Tekumel is due to be published in March of 2005 by Guardians of Order, currently titled "Tekumel: Empire of the Petal Throne".

	EPT Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Tekumel's solar system fell into a pocket dimension, and it was isolated from the rest of humanspace.
		Tekumel doesn't have magic wands and staves, but instead use “Eyes,” small techno-magical devices about the size and shape of a human eyeball with a firing stud on the back.
		Now Tekumel characters are developed as young members of upper class or better clans, with all of the social support that entailed.

		The "backstory" is that thousands of years in the future, humanity and its alien allies colonized and terraformed an alien planet and imprisoned the native inhabitants.
		Tekumel is an elaborate post-technological world dominated by complex, Byzantine societies.
		Tekumel just seems too varied to be encompassed in a class-based system, unless they are going for a more "class-as-archetype" approach.

		A quick roll in the hay is fine on Tekumel, and marriages between totally opposed religions and clans are not unknown.
		The people of Tekumel do wear more garments and insignia to distinguish their faiths, clans, and allegiances than do most of us on Earth, and it is thus easier to see who is who.
		Tekumel is a regular melting pot of species from many, many worlds, as you know.

	Mysteries of Tekumel
		Tekumel is constructed of an Infinite Multiverse: for any decision that can be made within Tekumel there is a separate branch of reality embodying the results of that decision.
		This is why even though the Egg of the World was once reconstructed and Tekumel returned to the "Real World", Tekumel persists in its pocket dimension: the fact that the College at the End of Time exists is proof that there will always be a Tekumel branch which does not return to the original universe.
		Returning Tekumel to its original dimension would not be a good thing, considering the cataclysm that occurred the last time.

		Tekumel is a mixture of the cultures and religions of India and the ancient Aztecs (Barker is a professor of Meso-American history) which gives it enough of an exotic feel to hold my interest.

	RPGnet: Review of Tekumel: Empire of the Petal Throne
		Even on Tekumel, communication between races is strained by the inability of one or the other race to comprehend or to enunciate the language of another.
		Tekumel fans will recognize Barker's name, along with Bob Alberti, Victor Raymond, Carl Brodt, Brett Slocum and a number of others who have contributed to this setting over the years.
		This game is obviously a labor of love, and the depth and breadth of Tekumel is presented both concisely and approachably - New players as well as old fans will find this an excellent resource for their adventures in Tekumel.

	Tekumel - Empire of the Petal Throne - M.A.R. Barker - Krakow RPGs - For Sale
		Professor Barker is a better storyteller than you might expect from an academic and this tale of a young priest and the alien society he lives in is a grand tale.
		Because the world of Tekumel is so unfamiliar to western readers, having more in common with Aztec and Indian cultures, Professor Barker chose to make his hero [Harsan] something of an outsider too, in this case raised as a child by the insect-like Pe Choi.
		TSR published Tekumel as the "Empire of the Petal Throne" (EPT) in 1975, along with a handful of Dragon magazine articles at that time.

	Tekumel - Game
		Tekumel is the most richly varied and detailed fantasy world ever created.
		The detail and novelty of the world are far in excess of Middle Earth, Talisanta, Glorantha, Harn or any of the backgrounds created by TSR and WotC (for D&D).
		Tekumel surpasses them all by a country mile.

		Tekumel d20 is supposed to be out shortly from Guardians of Order.
		But Tekumel's also insanely detailed, with "realistic" cultures and languages and such, which is its main draw (besides the scantily clad women).
		Secondly, Tekumel, judging from the praise of those who have seen the setting, is nowhere near "the worst fantasy setting you can imagine." Rather, it's supposedly a well-thought out, intricate setting.

		Empire of the Petal Throne is a RPG that takes place on the planet of Tekumel, lost and forgotten in the far future.
		Suffice it to say that the cultures of this world are far separated from modern Earth in both time and space by hundreds of light years and nearly 100,000 years of isolation in a pocket universe.
		Hidebound and governed by tradition, mainstream culture in the Tekumel Empire of the Petal Throne (the nation of Tsolyanu and its protectorates and other holdings) has changed very little in the past several thousand years.

		Tekumel is by far the most detailed role playing background available.
		The only item currently in this section is a report on Tekumel which is a collection of items from the Tekumel mailing list.
		All the text in the report is by Professor Barker himself and has been edited into this form by me with a few additional words here and there to make it read like a document rather than a series of answers to questions (which is what most of was).

		Reading the preview I was struck by the similarity in context between Tekumel and Jorune.
		Except that Tekumel (in its first incarnation as Empire of the Petal Throne) predates Jorune in print by at least a decade.
		The way I look at it is that Tekumel was a world that had a game designed for it, while Jorune is a world designed for a game.

		All the current players in this group were new to Tekumel before this campaign started and I (the GM) had only read parts of the T:EPT rulebook and before that I'd tried and failed to read a soucrebook.
		The campaign is designed to ease transition to roleplaying in Tekumel while still providing a good taste of Tekumel culture, adventure, and mystery.
