Why is this thread 600 pages long? All about nothing yet it's STILL going on. Even RPG.net used to stop any thread at 100 pages. Guess they changed it a bit because they have a seriously whack fetish for Exalted. But 600 pages of bullshit composed of multiple unrelated topics and discussion therein? Seriously disappointed with the actual direction of this this thread. So misleading and disappointing. Wow. I liked that name Chairine Ba Kal. I assumed it about some gay roleplayer and their experiences not some model builder from 1970. At least as far as I can care to tell from this convoluted abomination of a thread.

Don't mess with cats we kill wizards in one blow.
Love your comments; I find the vast majority of threads on this and every other RPG site just as convoluted and pointless, full of people who are very full of themselves and pretty much the same kind of people I've had to put up with for the last four decades. So, it's nice to know that things have not changed a whit, over the years.
If you're disappointed, may I suggest contacting the Powers-that-be here and offering your time and energy to become the official moderator of this thread? That way, you can mold and shape the thing to be what you'd want it to be, instead of people simply asking me questions and my giving them what answers I can. I think it would certainly help organize things, and help you cope with your being mislead and disappointed.
As for the gay roleplayer part, can't help you with the throbbing manhood plunged between quivering thighs stuff; you'll have to go elsewhere for that - sorry!

I am going to allow this post and Chirine response to stay but I am deleting Neshm response and any further response on this as off topic.
As for your concerns Marleycat I suggest you goto to this link and practice the exercises. If you fail to heed my advice I will mock you incessantly and change your tagline to Clueless Cat for failing to understanding simple English.
This is for everybody else, normally calling another poster or thread; stupid, idiotic, or any number of other choice insult is not grounds for any type of moderation. Most of us have been around the Internet enough to know how this type of thread works. If I have to spell it out I will. But I am going to go with the fact that you the reader has more than a 3 Intelligence in this regard.
Chirine if you ever start a part II let me know and I will close this thread.

"The Man of Gold and Flamesong read as novels, but the last three novels read like well-edited renditions of an RPG game, which is what they were."
===
chirine, how closely do these books follow the "actual play", if it is true they are "renditions of an RPG game"?
Was this the play group you were a part of or a combination of both groups?
Will your book expand on these or be in parallel?

This doesn't seem to be the MarleyCat that I know and respect. This seems to be some other kind of marleycat, ...like maybe a sock puppet type of marleycat.
One of the things I like about having my own websites, is that I can check the IPs of visitors and determine where they originate from. Even if they arrive incognito, or use a proxy, or a VPN, the IP of the originating web page request is unique and forms a signature that i can use, if not to personally identify the poster, to verify the poster is consistently arriving from the same incognito network or location.
The Marley I knew never used to sign on here to mess with other RPG folks, but instead was interested in making her game better, and spent her time talking about the games she liked to run and play. Marley, where are you? Where have you gone? What happened? Cynicism never seemed like your style...
My hat's off to you estar for a perfect response to an utterly pointless post. Even if this comment gets purged I'll still throw in my two cents worth.
Too many threads on this forum have been derailed by persons who have petulantly taken a dislike to an element of the thread and have proceeded to post provocative things that ultimately cause the whole thing to crash and burn. Those of us who are active participants on this thread find it to be a fascinating and insightful look on a subject that we like. We are not demanding that everyone else join in the discussion, nor do we exclude those that pop in. Chirine is providing a tonne of information, and for those of us who are running Tekumel games, or that have an interest in the milieu, this is a valuable addition. Leave us alone in our quiet corner of the forum if you are not interested in what we are talking about. If you are interested pull up a chair and join in.

No sweat! And really, my original comment was as much because I liked the Professor's Sourcebook style too, the frankly academic style way it was approached was nice. Especially as somewhat of a failed academic myself.(Failed in no small part because I have some rather severe anxiety when it comes to writing long documents! Which of course ties into the other reason I'd fail at writing a history of Bedjnalla)
Now, onto related...
Recently another game setting I enjoy (Legend of the Five Rings) has had some pretty major news. And that as always happens with nerd-dom, has led to heated discussions, one of them how bad GMs will use the intricate social mores of said game to really screw over the PCs instead of easing them into it. A problem perpetuated slightly be the early adventures having some pretty shaky scenarios. Moral of the story? Tekumel's sadly not alone in having jerk GMs that like lording their knowledge over things instead of remembering FUN is the point! Nor does every player enjoy playing like that.
Thankfully, I am doing my best to ease.
To be fair, though, 600 pages is a VERY long thread.
Guys, start a part II, link back to this one for historical reference! This is not a judgment about Chirine or anyone else here, only a statement on the length of the thread.
