In other news, I have begun doing some research on the Peshwa. I am currently working on a timeline for these Horsemen and reading up on the Riders of Hak supplement. Hope to have more for you on these guys later on.

ArneCon 2025 is a success organiseres say
ArneCon 3 is a big success say organizers! The convention honoring the legacy of Dave Arneson took place this weekend in St. Paul Minnesota...
It's probably no coincidence that two of the greatest, most innovative campaigns sprung up in the same metro area around the same time. Given the amount of cross-over players (including both Arneson and Barker) between Blackmoor and the first Tekumel campaign and resulting cross-fertilization definitely a period worth looking back on and exploring for inspiration!

ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting setting, and like you Harvard I am interested in the interplay between Tekumel and Blackmoor.
ReplyDeleteSadly I found the GoO Tekumel to be a let down. The rules were way to complicated for my taste, and while the setting information was quite voluminous, it never really caught my imagination. I could just be me, though.
The Man of Gold was a better introduction to the world, I felt. Being the echo chamber it is, our community is of course already talking about that novel...
Andreas,
ReplyDeleteI agree I enjoyed the original OD&D-like rules much, much better (though GOO can be used for things like an expanded spell and equipment list).
I haven't seen the OD&D based rules, and I'm not suer that such a better fit. The GoO were fiddly, though.
ReplyDeleteI have both the OD&D-like and GOO version now, but I have yet to make a comparison.
