The Eye of Joyful Sitting Amongst Friends
In Honor and Memory of Professor M.A.R. Barker (1929-2012)
This blog will discuss roleplaying games, but especially Tekumel. Tekumel is a fantasy world, described in Empire of the Petal Throne, as well as novels, such as 'The Man of Gold'.
For more information on Tekumel, see the Official Tekumel website, as well as my Tekumel website on Weird Realm..

New version of The Petal Hack
I'm doing some updating of The Petal Hack. I'm pulling some things from The Black Hack 2nd Edition, but keeping things mostly the same. The Class Features and Spellcasting are changing somewhat, but not drastically. I'm replacing the armor system with one from Macchiato Monsters. I'm updating Avanthe's Ample Bosom as well. But this is version 1.2, not version 2.0.
Does anyone have suggestions for things that need to change in The Petal Hack?

Traveller: Supernova! -- The Local Stellar Neighborhood
Mapping
Sol Subsector - circa 2170 |
Near Space |
Mapping Software
Filling in the Planets
I can now generate all the content I need for this campaign as I go. I don't need to have all the systems spelled out, just the ones close enough that they could reach them in a game. Then based on the party's direction, I can build as I go. I now know where the other sentient races live, and I can plan accordingly.
I am very excited about this project.
