The printer put?the first 35 copies?in the mail to me on Saturday.? I anticipate sending out the preorders by Wednesday of next week, maybe sooner if they...
Hello Larry, Thanks for posting the info on the GNS theory. I've taken a little time to read the info on the net about and I've thought some on my experiences...
Hi Mark, Thanks a bunch for your thoughts on my question. I'd suspected that T:EPT would be the one people would suggest for a Sim, but wanted to be sure, as...
Ok, I've got a weird one to share... A few nights ago I was hanging out at one of the local gaming haunts, and I ended up talking to a guy (a fellow collector)...
There were several fanzine-type publications that came out in the 70s, e.g., Journal of Imperial Military Affairs, The Imperial Courier. They had articles and...
I don't know about the newsletter stuff, probably things like the Imperial Courier. The model was undoubtedly the model of the Temple of Vimuhla that Barker...
In the 80s after EPT came out there was a flurry of stuff coming out of the twin cities around through various people tied in with the Thursday night group. ...
Nothing EPT came out prior to 1975. What the collector might be confusing is the early publications of The City State of the Invincible Overlord, which came...
... This from bibliography on weirdrealm.com: Barker, M. A. R.. Empire of the Petal Throne. Self-published, 1974. Limited (approx. 50 copies??) mimeographed...
Now that Seal 2:1 is in route to me (10 copies are actually on hand at Noble Knight Games in Janesville, WI, already), I want to announce that I am soliciting...
... out of the twin cities around through various people tied in with the Thursday night group. ... Yes it is true, the old thursday night group some of whom...
Hello Larry, You need to remember that T:EPT is a Tri-Stat derived system. I'm not a big fan of the Tri-Stat system, but I do like the derived system used for...
Wow. Words fail me. I've just finished my first read of my copy of Seal of the Imperium, and I'm totally blown away. The quality of the book is phenomenal...
I thought I'd chime in as I was there at the start. ... This statement is not true, though the two-volume mimeo version was only distributed privately by Prof....
Wow. I guess I do learn something new every day. I have been collecting, talking about, reading and generally trying to make myself knowledgeable about EPT...
Wait a minute! You have just re-constructed my entire knowledge on early Tekumel gaming history. I was under the impression than the Professor had only used...
Those are my thoughts also - was Tekumel a setting for gaming by the Thursday Night Group (or others) before D&D came on the scene. I don't necessarily mean...
Carl, You can put me down for a subscription to Seal of the Imperium! (If you take subscriptions - otherwise just put me down for a "pre- order" of each...
I will reiterate. ... in ... I don't know from "OD&D". We all got our boxed sets late 1973/early 1974. As far as I can remember Phil never actually played D&D ...
After almost 8 years in the making, the second issue of the Seal of Imperium will be mailed to all prepaying customers on or before Wednesday of next week...
Interesting. Prof Barkers states that he role played (can't remember if he said D&D) and it was a middleages type of RPG in which the GM used his knowledge...
My understanding was that Dave Arneson invited the professor to join in his Blackmoor campaign. Not sure if this was to watch, play, or if this occurred more...
Hello Lady Anka'a, Please delurk and grant us another audience. This thread on the pre-TSR version of EPT reminded me of a posting a few years ago which had a...
Hello Carl, I noticed at Noble Knight Games that Seal 2:1 is 202 pages, that's a good sized volume and close to the size of the T:EPT book. I look forward to ...
