I'm back on Tékumel. After a couple of years of inactivity I have
recently had the opportunity to return and see what's what. I was fortunate
enough recently to be able to start a game with a group of veteran Tékumel players and aficionados. I have decided to have the game take place during the reign of Hetkolainnen it is far enough
away from the "real Tekumel" to give me the flexibility to do what I
want whilst still being close enough to the events from the books to
provide a sense of familiarity. The current game year is 2340 AS.
Set in Pecháno, where else, the party is part of a Tsolyani delegation sent by the Imperium to establish closer relations between the lands. Being from solid middle level clans they are of course 'important,' but minor members of the group. Unfortunately, it would seem that they have been forgotten and have been cooling their heels in the mansion so kindly provided by the Pecháni Crown. Trying to keep themselves amused they have taken advantage of the travel documents so graciously given to them and started to explore Mechaneno, ultimately becoming involved in local politics at the behest of Shemek hiTankolel. Things are moving quickly and many things are being revealed.
We have had 3 or 4 games already and I probably should start chronicling their adventures on this forum as a type of campaign diary…
