I don't game in Tekumel, but this thread has been a treasure trove in many respects, including game history. Back to lurking...

No worries. I guess some have got nothing better to do with their time than bug people who are minding their own business, and getting on with the purpose of the thread. It's just that particular idiot has made a few unwarranted disparaging remarks about a thread that he is not even really a part of. I guess Gronan is right about him. This thread is great even for non Tekumel related stuff. Besides, it's interesting to see how things were done back in the day by other groups, and by some of the creators of this hobby. Cheers!

You're very welcome! Please do feel free to ask your questions, too; they are a lot of fun to answer, as I remember things that we did that have (usually!) some bearing on the subject.

'Uncle Chirine' was actually my nickname, in the local community; I'm a bit older then a lot of the people I know, and one friend referred to be as this at a party and it stuck like glue. I've been asked for advice on all sorts of things, over the years, and I am told that this is because of the varied and rich life I've led. Heck, it's what got me my five daughters, for that matter!

I'm glad you're here on the RPG site (although I stopped reading it a good long while ago), and hope you will continue. I'm sure you'll shrug off any negative vibes.

Be well!

Thank you, and welcome aboard! There are a lot of very interesting discussions going on, and I hope you'll have a look around the place; I'm just the booth over in the corner, as it were.

I'm not too worried about 'negative vibes' I've had to deal with a lot worse in gaming, over the decades, especially when I used to run the booth at shows. I just pretty much shrug, and go on about my business; I am here because I find the conversation fun and interesting, and not out of a sense of obligation. If people are not interested in what I might have to say, then they are certainly able to have their own discussions - and should!!!

I'm very glad to hear that you've gotten some useful ideas from this thread - it's what it's for, I think.

I don't, but thank you for the kind words. As I've mentioned, I've had worse; sitting the booth meant that I had to smile sweetly when somebody kicked me in the balls, but that's not something I have to deal with any more.

More then anything, else, I'm a window into the past and our shared history. I was very lucky, in that I was there at a time when creativity and imagination were just starting to realize the potential of this new genre; I got my lessons from some pretty amazing people, I think.

Pick my brain, if you like; I spent a lot of money to save it, a while back, and you might as well get some use out of it...

I been thinkin' nothing but good thoughts about that bridge for the last two days!

That whole movie felt like it was taken from somebody's notes from a campaign using Mike Korns' WWII 'miniatures'/'proto-RPG' rules.

Good point. Also that made me chuckle.

"Tell me uncle, why are are all the filing cabinets the same size except for that one over there that takes up the entire wall from floor to ceiling? "

"Oh that? We file the death certificates alphabetically by cause of death. That's the "Te" cabinet."
