Well, I think we've taken a delightful turn! Wonderful!
The reason the 'Three-Light Drive' is called that is because - according to Phil - every time a ship goes into it you get three flashes of light, and the same when they come out. Nobody knows why - it just is.
There's been a lot of fan speculation that this is because the drive moves the ship three times faster then light, but nobody knows for sure. Like I say, it just is.
I wanted to ask this before, but it slipped my mind. So here goes...What form, or apperance are "Books" on Tekumel? Western like, folded(accordion style, like an Aztec Codex), or like scrolls? Or all of the above...? I also seem to remember something about "metal" plates as well...? Thanks

I dunno. Jean-Luc Picard says there are four lights, and he's traveled faster than the speed of light enough that he ought to know.Originally Posted by chirine ba kal

As to the latter part, at 3C the ships are going nowhere. Space is big. Sigh. When you and I were in Starfleet Academy they made us learn basic math.
I had hypothesized that there were three "drive emitters" at the rear of the ship and each gives off a different wavelength of harmonic visible light, but I'm glad to hear what Phil's idea was.

It's there; I just checked. Either click on the 'older posts' button when you're looking at the 'Braunstein' label search results, or go to the list of years / posts in the left-hand column and click on 2014 - this was in July of 2014, and you'll see all the posts on this. Please let me know if you have problems, too!
More answers in the morning - long night at work, and I'm off to bed as I have to work a game tomorrow night...
How far off of the main Tekumel main trunk would it be to merge in
Chitin:I for the Hlyss?
Meaning that for the Hlyss you have all the physical types from Chitin and not just the single type in the original game rules?

Is there enough known about the Hlyss (in the original rules) that this would break the setting?

I think an invasion from the sea by a "harvest" army of Hylss, with all sub-types, would be an exciting game idea.
