Ok, that's always nice to know! Is there any more background info on this sort of thing? I know it must be tied up with the secrets of Tekumel, I wonder how much is out there.Yes. The winners write the histories.
You got it.
Cool choices!
Good job so far.2. We try...
I see three options...Let me think about this, and we'll see about running this...
In this thread. (Better not, this thread is for lore).
Starting a thread in the Play-by-Post sub-forum on this site. Something like "IC: Walking around in Jakalla's Foreigners Quarter" (or whatever title you like).
Starting a game on Myth Weavers or similar. (Best option in my book, but I just like the interface of Myth Weavers and having an in-built diceroller, if you need it).
I recommend option two as simplest, or option three if you think of a more long-term activity.
The F/S, the smatchet, or something elseYou have it exactly!? I only have some of his works.
Glad I'm getting it right.5. Again, exactly!
It seems to have been a major topic on Virginian TV stations. Curiously, little has been said about the connection you mentioned.6. So would I!!!
Then again, it seems that's not the first time VMI cadets march in an inauguration (not sure how close they passed to the president of the USA on the other occasions).

Also, I feel a note of support for Trump in the tone of the reports that's largely missing from the bigger chains. Curious, that.
Or maybe not, since I tend to joke that "Trump is the most Southern president the USA have had in a long while, despite living in NYC"
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky
Thanks once more!
Here's another on the deeper side of things. I noticed at one point there was mention of Pavar's Gods "warring with the lords of Humanspace" or something to that effect. That makes me ask, does that mean the Pariah Gods are said Lords? As obviously the Humanspace sorts are actually powerful enough to war with Gods it seems. That's impressive.
I love the photos...Really nice!!!

Thank you, she says.
Good job so far.
Well, I do hope so; I worry about being boring...

Let me see what happens after we get the Internet service upgrade for our college student done; thing would be a lot easier...
The F/S, the smatchet, or something else
The classic F/S. Honed to a fine edge, too, if I do say so myself.
Glad I'm getting it right.
You are, which is why I'm here; you're doing just fine.

It's not, and I think that most of the locals wouldn't know the history - history is a subject not really taught in our schools, and is a concept largely forgotten in this country.
Keep in mind that 'the Gods' are not, in Phil's setting, divine beings; they are simply more advanced beings with their own objectives. Think Boskone and Arisia, and I'm not talking about Boston-area SF conventions...
Or go back a decade or so earlier, and contemplate a young F/SF fan reading Howard and Lovecraft in the new magazines...
Same here! I have some of them, and they paint up wonderfully well.
I know there was mention of some sort of open house thing to learn and see early Tekumel, I'd certainly be interested in that at some point if it happens - nerding out like a 35 year old kid in a candy store for sure, but hey, I enjoy my nerddoms! Especially since the Cities aren't too far away for me, being from Fargo.
Semi-related, any comments on the Con of the North and its Tekumel Track? I've never gone to said con, but knowing about said track has me interested.
As it stands, the interest in the game I'm prepping to run has been pretty huge. I sent out invites to a bunch of old gamer contacts, and didn't expect everyone to say yes! So going from what I was expecting to be a simple 4 person group and I to potentially 8 or 9? Let's just say I'm glad Bethorm isn't that complicated a system - I've successfully run for 10 people in an L5R game in the past, so it could definitely happen. Though we'll see how it shapes up with the meetup to hammer out details of when and where, easily possible some of them won't be able to commit at that point. Either way, this thread is getting me more jazzed to run the game, and feeling more confident in doing so. So big thank you for yet another reason!
Finally, it's also a shame how quickly the pictures disappear! I am quite curious about pictures of the armor (especially your wife's temple guard armor since one of the posts with Chirine's did show!), but there's plenty of other pictures of various minis that aren't about spattered throughout this massive thread too.

Well, the idea is that we could host people for a weekend's worth of gaming and fun some weekend. There are a number of 'micro-cons' that exist; we had one a few years back here at the house, when we had a house full of guests over a very fun weekend. My wonderful Missus has said she'd be happy to have something like this happen - once we get Fifth Daughter unpacked, of course!
We have a small motel a couple of blocks away, and more lodging south of the airport - we live just north of the main airport, and the infamous Mall of America is about fifteen minutes away. So, plenty of places to stay, and things for the non-gamers in the family to do. Shuttles to and from the airport as needed.
What we are doing is leaving it up to folks to figure out what time frame they'd like to do this in, and a possible weekend to do it. I need about thirty days advance notice to get any time off of work, so that's a factor. Talk amongst yourselves, pick a date, and let me know.
Serously; work some thing out, folks, and we'll host it.

Brett Slocum runs this each year, and I think he does a very good job of organizing it and getting good GMs to run good games. I do not run games at the convention, due to the sheer size of the tables that my games use - 60" x 60" up to 60" x 120" - and the logistics of miniatures games, but Brett has been thinking about asking for more space from the convention organizers. So, we'll see. I will be there this year, all weekend, as I'm supplying the Skyline display and laptop that Bill Hoyt is using for his 'History of RPGs in the Twin Cities" display in the lobby. If you do wind up coming to the con, drop by and we can run off to the house so you can see what all the fuss is about. One of the big problems with my doing convention shows is the sheer volume of what I have; I have a cargo van (an Astro) with 64 cubic feet, and I can fill it up completely with game stuff for a show...

How wonderful! Let me know if you need any help!

Do you mean the pictures I've posted on this thread? I didn't know that they went away after a while. If there's anything in particular that you're looking for, ask and I can see about reposting them, or you could look at my other photos on my Photobucket page - the link is in my signature block.
