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.)

    Also 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.

    Many 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).

Just to speed things up tomorrow night, I thought I would let y'all try and figure what way you want to get into Brazonia. The town of Iascu mid-map is where Tazrun's twin brother is reported to live. Your entry point is at Hex 05.14. Hex scale is 5 miles.  Let me know what questions you might want to ask at the last Kozak sich before heading north or any other preparations.

It's been a while since the “formal” ask, but time to check in on the “how's it going” type feedback (which has been pretty valuable in sustaining the campaign over time). So how y'all feeling about the campaign?  Anything particular you want to see more of? Less of? Stay the course?  Suggestions? Wish lists?  Various half-crazed side campaign ideas keep popping into my head, but I am mostly staying the course for now.
