Plus we have a mama bear, two curious and adventurous yearling cubs, and a large adult, probably male, poking their snouts in our business every chance they get. I have to admit, when I go out on turnaround (11 days from now), I'll be looking for more urban recreation, but still. If you're not already nursing your bug bites, free parks is a worthwhile thing

Ah, the joys of campaigning / adventuring!

According to the Sourcebook, it took place on Tekumel, at a time when mankind had yet to evolve on Earth. That's a long time ago.
In Mu'ugalavya, there is an area called Dormoron Plain.

01 - What's out there? Is it a place where pilgrims from the known world venture and gather from time to time?
02 - Is it a forbidden area, one that's under the watchful eye of the Mu'ugalavyani?
03 - Are there ruins? Relics? Or is it a vast area that looks like the Mongolian steppes on our world?

The battle itself exists outside of time and space, on a plane of reality all it's own. I fought in it for a while - I think this was before the original group split - and made some very interesting friends there. Which did come in very useful later on in my career; I helped them, they helped me, and it is still a very handy relationship.

1. Lots and lots of nothing. No towns or villages, nothing to see by miles and miles of miles and miles. No pilgrims that I ever saw, but they could be there and I'd guess that the occasional party of adventurers happens by.

2. Not that I'm aware of, but I'd guess that the Red Hats discourage tourists.

3. Not that I saw; might be, though, as we didn't do a lot of serious exploration up there. The steppes are a good approximation, too.

Very, very cool! I wish this had gone on; such potential!!!

Not all the stuff is suitable for Tekumel, but a LOT of it is good anyplace stonework is needed.

Agreed; it's good solid stuff, and looks pretty darn goon. Very useful, and easy to transport.

Have you looked at any of the Finger And Toe card models? They make a Mayan city and temple, which is pretty handy.

Some of the Demon Lords, and the Horokaingai - the Vimuhla worshippers who were Ksarul's standard-bearers at the battle, and who consider the lord of Flame a short hitter for changing sides. More in the book of course; no spoilers, this morning...
