Not a pure Tekumel campaign exactly but heavily heavily heavily inspired by. The DNA is probably 75% Tekumel, or greater.
I have played. Had a great time. Big plans for campagins...not yet happened!!!So, out of curiosity, how many people on this thread are currently running a Tekumel game or campaign? Lord Chirine, are you running anything you can share with us? How about you Glorious General?
If so, what era, and what location? I'm currently adventuring in the Three States of the Triangle/early Dragon Warriors era. The party is exploring to the far Northeast, in what will be Northern Pechano/Kilalammu in a few thousand years or so. That bastard demon really screwed them over

Me too, roughly "contemporary" era, but set in Lyvianu. A character even briefly glimpsed lord Chirine ba Kal during one of his visits.So, out of curiosity, how many people on this thread are currently running a Tekumel game or campaign?

During this time, a PC unwittingly helped a surge in the Lyviani campaign for "pacification" of the Tsolei isles, and the sending of Tsolyani "advisors" (by chasing away a spy). Then there was a timeskip of almost 20 years, because visiting other dimensions might do that to you. As a bonus, now the same character's son is a grown-up and got in the Navy!
Now they are in the midst of a war campaign, with the usual chaos. And a friend has recently been kidnapped by an inimical race. They might have to mount a raid to extract her.
All in all, it's much fun, just don't ask me what system I'm using, because I suspect the answer will make for a huge off-topic discussion!

Cool!!! I envy all of you!!! I guess I will need to make a campagin happen for me!!! No regular Tekumel gaming groups that I know of close by...Me too, roughly "contemporary" era, but set in Lyvianu. A character even briefly glimpsed lord Chirine ba Kal during one of his visits.

From AsenRG:
That's definitely good company!
Wasn't Harchar's ship a later model, though?
Harchar's big merchant ship is basically an early 1500's version of a galleon; Phil's cut-off was, like his land-based gaming, the introduction of gunpowder. ("It stains the carpet on the game table," he said.) So, pretty much anything that would float, up to the Mary Rose, is fair game.
CTRL+F, pressed together, activate your "find" function. You just type, say, a name in the window that opens, and when you press "Enter", it finds all places in the text where this name is located (or takes you to the closest one of them in turn and highlights it in the text-depends on what program you're using). It can also look for a phrase, or for parts of a word. If you suspect having made a typo in a long word, look for part of it.
Basically, just take a sheet of paper, and you can make an index in a couple hours. It's also very useful for referencing PDFs during play. In fact, with a fast machine, it's faster than searching for a page in a physical book.
Never had a Mac myself, but Internet just told me that they have the same command. They don't use "CTRL+F", though.
Instead, it seems the same command in Mac is "command F".
Oh! Very, very cool! I did not know this, and I shall try it out this weekend!!! Thank you!!!
No, I am not. The game campaign that I started in 2002 has been shut down, due to the surge in political factions amongst the players - one of these factions were the people I had to pay $800 in legal fees to get rid of. The last few years, I found that I was spending far more time chasing people down to play then I was actually doing the games; so, what I've done is to pass that job over to all the people who told me that a) I was doing it all wrong, b) that I was including the wrong kind of people, and c) I was not fit to represent their Tekumel - I am not 'metrosexual' enough, I was told.So, out of curiosity, how many people on this thread are currently running a Tekumel game or campaign?

So, the game room sits quietly, awaiting the next group of adventurers. If somebody wanted to organize up a game group, I'll be delighted to run a campaign for them. I paint and I write, and am enjoying being alive. I'm patient; I've been here before...
Wonderful!!! Let me know if you need anything!
We should plan a field trip to the Workbench for a weekend tour and game!!! That would be a dream come true!!! With Uncle's permission of course...No, I am not.

That's why I learned to be a Referee. Nobody else wanted to run the games I wanted to play
And, though I prefer playing, my attitude always has been that it's better to run a game I want than play a game I don't care about
That's very interesting! I thought it's a brigandine or similar, for some reason.
You're welcome, Uncle! Usually, the same option allow you to replace words, and similar stuff...but I've never even seen a MacOh! Very, very cool! I did not know this, and I shall try it out this weekend!!! Thank you!!!
So I found you a couple articles that should be useful, instead.
Key combinations for Mac.
If you're using Word for Mac 2011.
I'm quite the opposite of "metrosexual", myself. If anyone wants me to shave in order to run a game for them, he or she is free to leave and find another group.No, I am not.

If I wasn't on a different continent, I'd totally do that! But as it is, my ticket is more expansive than Gronan's stay on a con
