Title: Tékumel / Empire of the Petal Throne
Post by: samwise7 on June 08, 2012, 03:10:02 AM: Does anyone have any experience with the Tékumel / Empire of the Petal Throne setting? I have been trying to collect all of the various system & setting books, as well as the novels for a couple of years now. I think it is a very interesting setting, and I hope to run an EPT 1-shot at a convention in November.

I did manage to get a copy of the Guardians of Order version of Tekumel but have never played an EPT game. It has to rank as one of the oldest RPG setting around.

Like Tolkien the use of language played a major role in making up his setting.
