So, I was reading the new "Notes from the Thursday Night Group" from the Tekumel Foundation and was struck by a thought: what if the pylons that we've encountered a few times are like the pylons in Tekumel that are used to hold up the heavens?
I got the impression from Victor that the Jakallan underworld was a beast of a project too because Professor Barker's notes were so terse. I mean how do you get around that with his passing? (I mean I would buy even his photocopied notes and the map in a heartbeat just to see them but I am an odd duck.)
ReplyDeleteAlso that's exciting news regarding EPT. I've really enjoyed playing in Jeff Dee's Bethorm when he's run games locally, but it's not the kind of thing I would run myself even though I backed the project.
ReplyDeleteMany of the possible projects the Foundation are pursuing are beasts of various sorts, which is why it's taking so long for any of them to see the light of day. I suspect Dee's Béthorm will be the first significant one to see the light of day. EPT 2e is planned for next year, since that'd be the 40th anniversary of the original and it's not an onerous project (other than ensuring that the new edition remains substantially Barker's own words -- I am a reviser and editor, nothing more).
