    Yep, you're right, that's the poor guy. The Ssirandar I was thinking of was the one we met on the far side, where the descendants of the dynasty still like to hold that they still reign - and will return to claim their throne real soon now. Made for a good plot hook, and once we figured out what Phil was up to - "Oh, let's overthrow the Seal Imperium this afternoon, shall we?" - we got our little butts back into the tubeway car as fast as our legs would carry us. Honestly; that man was a menace with some of his plot ideas...

    Well, Tekumal hasn't ever been of much interest to me but I always enjoy the gaming history and miniatures discussion. I think it's a great thing and I'm grateful to Chrine and Gronan for putting up with us.

    Chirine,

    Which of Pavar's deities is prominent in the Hekellu/Chaigari region? Would this be considerd Vimuhla or Ksarul "country," or is one of the other gods or goddesses more popular?

    Question about the arc of the hobby. Or maybe just the market.

    BTW thanks for starting a new thread. I quit reading the other one at about 50 pages. Just too big.

    So now where I live (admitibly a small place) we have two gaming stores. They carry D&D in a couple different flavors. New and new only in one. The other has a small random and savagely used selection of other gaming stuff. Like the smallest discarded detritus of a lost empire.

    That and a few other things (converstaions with my used book dealer) gives me an Idea that the glorious empire really did exist once.

    A half dozen systems, with rule books, supplements and modules. A brisk trade in used books as gaming groups tried stuff out, played through modules and traded them back in.

    Cheep figures new and used under glass and plastic.

    Is it real? Did it ever exist? Have you been there?

    There seems to be a tonne of stuff now but its all online. Has it always been that way?

    No, we can't. What I think some folks have difficulty with is that our lives have been made up of the stuff of legends, and theirs' haven't.

    "Everything you do so well, you make us look bad."

    When I look back at the people we used to game with - and still do, for that matter - it strikes what an amazingly gifted bunch we hung out with. I am sorry that it seems to make some people feel inferior, somehow; that's kind of sad, 'cause all we were doing was making stuff up and having some fun - and we still do, I think.

    Understood! What you like is what you like, and I for one am not here to try to convert you to The One True Faith. I'm here for exactly what you say - and if you can use any of our half-baked notions, go to it!
