Hey oh! I started a thread on the Tekumel group, asking if anyone had conversions of the Gardasiyal Temple spells that were not included in T:EPT. I have...
I would prefer an non-proprietary format like RTF, but you're the boss. Brett Slocum <slocum@...> See my writing website: http://brettslocum.com/ On...
Joe: Thanks for the go ahead! Sorry about the clipped reply earlier. Brett: I loaded both RTF and Word formats. Let me know if the RTF is going to work for...

I don't know about others but some of my players have been complaining about the lack of Defects in Tekumel:Empire of the Petal Throne. After reviewing them, I...
Hello Mark, I must say this is the first time I've heard someone say there is a lack of Defects in T:EPT. My players have made the opposite remark about both ...
Hi! I don't know if there aren't enough defects, but the defects have always seemed undervalued (at least to me). For example, taking a defect of being blind...
Hi Mark, I'll talk to them. I'm thinking that the complaint may be more about the low benefits (only 1 or 2 points) as opposed to the high cost of the...

Most of my players took multiple defects especially Debts of Honour at maximum. Some of the defects have matching attributes, e.g., younger vs older, low...
Good discussion. I think I understand why that decision was made coming from GURPS as I did. I'm not quite sure how to approach this with my players though....

Hi! Ah. I had actually been creating characters in the same way as in GURPS, and wasn't very satsified, so your explanation that it isn't supposed to work...
... That would be a completely legitimate design decision, it just isn't the way we decided to go. One of the things we didn't want to do (you could look at...

I tend to agree with Joe. Defects should be a way for their players to add depth to their character, and I feel the defect costs in T:EPT encourage this. And...
