Tékumel Rules

The Petal Hack
This game is built from The Black Hack, a new game loosely based on original D&D. Everything is an attribute check. Character generation is easy and it plays fast. This has been called the best starter game for Tekumel. It provides everything you need, including an adventure.

Heroic Age of Tékumel
I wrote this game to be the descendant or perhaps the second edition of Empire of the Petal Throne. It uses modernized rules like Ascending Armor Class.

GURPS Tékumel
My on-going project to make a complete GURPS game. Development is currently on hiatus.

TFT Tékumel (The Fantasy Trip)
My draft of rules for using The Fantasy Trip from Metagaming Concepts to play in Tékumel. My plans are to turn this into a complete game called Glory and Empire, using Warrior and Wizard, a TFT clone.
