    In the meantime, have a look at the various 'demons' that David Allan has done, over on the Tekumel Yahoo group run by Brett Slocum.
    Uncle, I will need help with this one. I scoured the boards...post by post. I must have missed it...A bit of help would be great. Thanks

    Of course, Chirine might well have objections, and in this case, I'd recommend you to keep them in mind. But either way, it was meant merely as a starting point for other Tekumel Referees.
    Somehow I don't thing Lord Chirine would mind. It is in the spirit of the original...I all ready stored away Tehanul for a rainy day(to be released sometime in the future).Thank you!!!

    I am currently in the middle of working back-to-back National hockey League games this weekend, as well as getting the main sewer drain unclogged (maple tree roots) and will be back as soon as I can. In the meantime:

    https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/...#zax/664609940

    This is a sample of David Allen's work in 3-D printing. I think if you trim down the URL, you can see more and get the group itself; I think you have to be a member, though.

    More to come - 5:30 pm call for a 6:30 pm - 12:00 am show, then I'm off to rescue Second Daughter at midnight...

    They're a real pisser, aren't they! For those of you who've never owned a house, you cannot IMAGINE what a pain this is. Like coming home and finding a foot of raw sewage in the basement, in a worse case scenario. Never happened to me personally but I know folks for whom it has.

    I experienced a mild case of that 20 years ago. Followed by annual preventive efforts for several years. I believe it was caused by the birch; after it fell on the car in the driveway (very little damage, fortunately), there were no further problems with the sewer drain. I still hate that tree.

    And I'm back. Upwards of 95,000 people, and a ball of tree roots as big as your head. At least I got some sleep, last night...

    And watching all the productions crews wrestling all the road boxes in the universe and freezing their butts off in the process reminded me, yet again, how glad I am that I am retired from the show production business - we used to come into a convention center, unload, set up, do the show, tear down, and load up to go home. Wonderful way to spend a week in say, San Francisco, where the only thing we'd see wold be the main ballroom of the Moscone Center...

    Been really enjoying the conversation. More in a moment...

    I had to stop and take a deep breath over the idea that I might have some sort of objections to what Hrugga was talking about.

    As I think I've mentioned, I am a 'populist', I strongly support the help, assistance, and support of fans, as I think Gronan has also mentioned; they are what keep Tekumel alive and kicking. And that's not my original thought - Phil said so himself, way back when.

    Ideas and contributions like Hrugga's would have made it right into our old 'zines, about ten seconds after Phil saw and liked them. Mind you, we'd be then up to our butts in Stability demons for the next six months, but them's the breaks.

    I am, and have always been, an archivist (and a model builder, but that's beside the point.) who records, preserves, and responds. I do not object to things; all I can point out is what Phil did and did not do in the time I had with him...

    It was, thank you; she gets off work at midnight, out in an area where there is no bus service. She can't drive, due to the head injuries her mother gave her over the years, so I try to make sure that she gets home safely.

    I'm maybe a little over-protective of her, but then I never expected to have to deal with kids who had such things done to them by their parents. All five of the daughters have had 'issues' (and we'll leave out the horrid details, thank you), which is why they came to us in the first place.

    It's been a long, sordid, decade.
