Unfortunately, this 'perimeter' passage is also the only way to get into the tomb area proper, as all the internal passages lead off of the surrounding corridor.

    Get a copy of the Sourcebook. It's full of this kind of 'local color'. Use Google. I've always used Phil's Meso-American imagery for the Bednjallan period, Phil's Ancient Egyptian for Engsvanyali, and Asian for the modern period. It gives a visual style to the historical periods, and you can get it all at the pet shops and dollar stores. Build your locations like you yourself were going to live there, work there, or be buried there; lots of servants, lots of dire perils, lots of undead guardians to serve you in the afterlife.

    However, do not let the detail overwhelm the action. This makes for deadly dull game sessions. Offer as much detail as the players are willing to look at, and then shut up and bring on the action.

    Do your research, in whatever period or setting you like; Dave and Gary did this when they created D&D, and Phil did it for Tekumel. Know your setting, and you can't go wrong.

    That's all general stuff - if you need more detailed stuff, give me specific situations and I can probably be more helpful.
    Uncle,

    Perfect!!!

    And this would probably be a ship of the ancients. Maybe something we could find on the Plain of Towers?

    Ok, last one. These would probably make some good Silver Suits. Gotta love 1930's and 1940's Sci-Fi. I use this kind of stuff in my games when ever I can. Go Flash!

    It is no accident that this is literally my only involvement with Tekumel. I look upon it as spending a quiet weekend at Chrine's summer villa and reminiscing about old campaigns... as Barbara Ninde Byfield said in the Book of Weird, "their memories grow vivid, and their eyes grow dim."

    Fortunately, I am not my Legion's official historian.

    Thank you Mighty Hrugga of the Epics! I couldn't remember where I had seen this info, and was too lazy to look back. This will come in handy...:hmm:

    Don't forget that about half the sphere is machinery, and if the damn things have toilets we never figured them out.

    For the sake of the travelers who followed in your footsteps, I hope you brought your own buckets. Because there are some kinds of footprints even Chief Seattle doesn't want you to leave behind.

She found this:

    https://archive.org/details/Warriors...nMiniature1974

    And we ran off half a dozen copies for the game. These are now, of course, surplus to requirements; I scrapped the flyers I was scratch-building, as my heart just wasn't in it after all the screaming and shouting that went on. Paul also insisted that I use my bucket load of original Heritage figures, in order to fit within his rules for his area. I'm scrapping out these as well - the Bronze Age figures are so much nicer! I had also bought a heap of dowels to make flying stands, and give them that '70s look; not sure what I'll do with those.

    Boats from the dollar store; decoration from the same source. Radium cannon from dowels - easy to build, quick to paint - with steel bases and magnets to hold them on the decks until they get shot off.

    I love Barsoom; I hate 'gamer politics'...
    Jeez. I was just trying to be a bit lighthearted, not open old wounds. Sorry.

    Actually, the only thing wrong with this year's GaryCon for me was that I was overbooked. Six events, three running and three playing, is too much.

    Actually, seven. Saturday night Dave Wesley begged me to come into his Braunstein game.

    Yes, I did, and yes, I will be writing it up, and yes, I believe you will be amused.

    No, we pretty much shat as far away from the control console as we could and called it good.
