As a New Year's Present to you all, and in celebration of our own version of the Intercalary Days, I've made up a Meshqu Plaque greeting. For those of you who...
... only ... even ... this ... here ... I think iron weapons would be a waste (of metal) as they would be too unreliable in battle (too brittle). Steel weapons...
Someone's implied that iron and steel are rare because "this is a fantasy world." and said it is abitrarily so. I'll ignore the geology as I confess I don't...

Greetings: "We liked TFT the best since it was very flexible, yet simple and worked with the milieu quite well." That was pretty much why I used it. I've never...
... Nickel/Chrome/Titanium etc may well indeed exist in prodigious amounts on Tekumel. However, unlike iron, they cannot be easily extracted by primitive ...
--On Thursday, January 1, 2004 9:31 PM -0500 Peter Huston ... May be, may not be. If we use only the the canonical Tekumel sources, and extrapolate from 21st...
Recently I've been thinking of ways to get my regular RPG group interested in Tekumel again and have decided to do a one off 'special'. The idea is based on...
Dear Dermot: There's little out there about the Ancients themselves. I would suggest about 3-4 sources for more information: - The Introduction to S&G Vol. I,...
... I don't have any books nearby, but if I'm not mistaken, there isn't anything canonical I can think of that states expressly that the Ssu and Hluss were...
Just finished reading 'A Death of Kings'. It might be interesting to speculate what happens to the secondary characters such as Nrayen, Shurgash and the...
Well, as far as Shurgash is concerned, we know just the fellow to ask....:) (and, no, it's not me) Victor ... Victor Raymond, M.S. / vraymond@... ISU...
... You also have the problem with working those metals. Chrome tends to be toxic and titanium evapoates instead of melts. Nickle is actually pretty useless...
Perhaps I'm confused, but I'd thought that it says in the sourcebook that these races are indigenous and had attained some spaceflight but not advanced....

In conversations with Prof. Barker, he has suggested that the Ssu and the Hluss both developed spaceflight, and might very well have had colonies "of a minor...
But, Victor, did he say that Tekumel was their homeworld? (Where they evolved?) I've always assumed that it was. I believe he has used the term "indigenous" to...

Dear List Members: I would like to take this time to wish everyone a happy New Year and after a difficult holiday season, I am returning to the newsgroup. ...
Look back to 4000BC http://www.agnosticwitch.catcara.com/timelineBC- part1.htm and see which religion was popular. ;) I got there by reading the Epic of...

... Hi Peter, I don't think you are confused. The sourcebook (section 1.200) is clear: when humans arrived over Tekumel, it was inhabited by Hluss and Ssu and...
... yup. Or consider: there are probably some side planes where the Hluss and/or Ssu were much more successful in their battles with the other races after the...
... Is that like "My own private Idaho"? ^_^ Seriously, I love that phrase and the idea behind it. How many other creators of such diverse and complex worlds...
And, just sometimes, these little side branches weave their way into the main branch ... So, it is not unreasonable that the next PC foolish enough to ...
... It's always interesting to note how differently we all interpret things sometimes, George. My sense is a more relative one. In my private Tekumel, the Ssu...
Agreed. We do have to remember that just because they didn't develop interstellar flight doesn't mean they were that far behind the Ancient's technology. They...
Someone help me out again here. I'm lost confused dazed or something once again. Okay, first, what's "Tuleng"? The star that Tekumel orbits? Second, why can't...

... Yep. ... Not sure what you mean... obviously you can't live on a star. The residents of Tekumel do live on a planet that orbits Tuleng. So now I'm ...
I think that the reason why the Ssu and hlyss were not exterminated was because the Terrans and their allies might have considered them potentially useful and ...
