Swords of the Petal Throne - Kevin Crawford Does Tekumel

+Kevin Crawford , he of Stars Without Number fame and many other OSR releases, has thrown down the gauntlet and has produced an OSR ruleset for Tekumel, aka Empire of the Petal Throne.

Yes, that Tekumel.

While the current release is just a beta and not official, Kevin would like to see a free 128 page PDF release that includes his trademark adventure generator system. It might come to pass, too:

There Will Be Some "Tekumel" in the Petty Gods Project

Gorgonmilk is on a roll! Here's the latest update on the Petty Gods Project:

I just received an e-mail from Victor Raymond at the Tekumel Foundation. Mr Raymond has kindly given me permission to include M. A. R. Barker's classic 1980 essay -- "Create a Religion in Your Spare Time for Fun and Profit" -- as an appendix in PETTY GODS. If you grognards weren't excited before this, you damn well should be now!

So, apparently I'm going to share space in a book with the works of Michael Moorcock AND M. A. R. Barker. I don't think I have an expletive that would convey the proper excitement that I currently feel.

What's the next awesome surprise you're going to pull out of your sleeve Mr. Gorgonmilk?  ;)
