Mighty Hrugga,
Here they are:
Tekumel Lineages, Clans, and Notes 2.pdf
Tekumel Lineages, Clans, and Notes.odt
Both look good, especially the PDF.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Since you don't mention getting arrested, Uncle, I can only conclude you really have the patience of saintsProbably, given their long and usually violent history. Wouldn't surprise me.
Agreed!
I had a rather disturbing incident at the convention, over the weekend. The Tekumel programming track, ably put together by Brett Slocum (he's the guy who runs the Yahoo group, by the way) was steaming along very well with lots of great games, and I was very happy to see all the interest being shown by quite a few of the 1,300+ people at the convention. One of the GMs, who was in our group out at Phil's, made some sort of comment that Phil, as a devout Muslim, would not have approved of the GM as he's a gay person. I think the intent was trying to show that Phil kept his faith separate from his gaming, and was - I think - meant in a positive sense. I had two issues with this statement: 1), the guy being gay had not come up out at Phil's at the time, and 2) anybody who knew Phil and his faith would know that this statement is - to be polite - wildly inaccurate. It wasn't an issue for Phil, and he simply did not care what other people did - as long as they didn't try to force him to subscribe to their political or similar positions. (Like one guy did with with the issue of the LGBTQ right to marry.)
I thought that the comment was inappropriate to the game convention setting, inaccurate regarding the Professor, and aimed more at building up the GM's status with his associates in the LGBTQ culture. He's done this kind of thing before - he's the one who announced that I had "persecuted" his PC for being gay - and the adventure that he had written and was running at the time was more or less a political manifesto for LGBTQ rights.
I found it all pretty disturbing, given my own experiences with Phil; my daughter, who is an LGBTQ activist (Amnesty International in Zurich) also found it odd.
Other then that, had a great weekend; report to follow!!
I hope you cut him short, because what he was doing WASN'T COOL AT ALL.
That's a possible reaction, Glorious General, just don't use your own head!
"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
I have another question for Lord Chirine or the Glorious General. I have a new player who wants to be a tomb-robbing thief with acrobatic skills. He wanted his character to have trained a small semi-intelligent animal, something like a counterpart to a monkey, that helps him in his work. Something that would fit into an Aladdin / Thief of Baghdad vibe. What would be a good Tekumel counterpart to a little dexterous trainable monkey?
I was thinking possibly a Kuruku, if they could be trained properly?
Good choice, but I'd make the training happen in-game. It's funnier that way.

Alva is a he. No problem; he's just happy to see somebody using the data!
It's a very, very solid track of games, with some very good people running them. Brett does a great job of putting it all together, and it's well worth coming here to experience. longer report coming; it's been raining here all day, and it's now stopped long enough for me to get the electronics out of the van. I are tired, I are...
I just have to walk away. Sad to watch, but I choose not to enable that kind of thing.
