Tirikelu Chaizel Hiorutesh (Status 4) Is from the Red Flower Clanhouse in Section 142) TIRIKÉLU Role-playing in the Land of the Petal Throne by Dave Morris Tirikélu Acknowledgements I’ve enjoyed thousands of hours with friends in the world of Tékumel. I’d like to thank them all, but especially those who have played and helped to shape these rules, namely: David Bailey, Gail Baker, Dermot Bolton, Patrick Brady, Robert Dale, Tim Harford, Nick Henfrey, Oliver Johnson, Ian Marsh, Roz Morris, Mark Pawelek, Frazer Payne, Gavin Reid, Mark Smith, Duncan Taylor, Mark Wilkinson and particularly, for having to contributed to this volume: Jack Bramah, Mark Wigoder Daniels, Steve Foster, Paul Mason, and Jamie Thomson Special thanks to Michael Watts for permission to use his illustration of the Temple of Hriháyal in Jakalla in the front matter and of the priest of Sárku and the Tinalíya for the cover of the print-on-demand edition. Other material There’s still no better top-level introduction to the world of Tékumel than Empire of the Petal Throne. But having read EPT you’re going to want more. And that’s why your next purchase should be the Tékumel Sourcebook. Try to get the Different Worlds edition if you can, as the original Gamescience printing is a crime against typography, but the main thing is to get hold of it. Every page contains enough ideas to fuel a campaign. My favourite history of Tsólyanu is Deeds of the Ever-Glorious. It’s a great read, packed with incidents and anecdotes that will add flavour to your characters’ conversations. More history books should be written this way. For a wealth of maps, characters, and other material visit www.tekumel.com . You can find back issues of my and Steve Foster’s fanzine The Eye of All-Seeing Wonder here. A smaller PDF of Tirikélu (just the rules, no maps or scenarios) can be found here. Detailed creature stats are to be found here. And you can get the Tirikélu character sheet here. Players are welcome to print these rules for personal use. There are numerous online printers. I recommend Lulu, and there is an explanation of how to set up the book on Lulu here. Please note that if you print a copy of these rules, permission is not granted for resale. If you are offered a resold print copy of Tirikélu, please inform me and the Tékumel Foundation.

The original EPT had served its purpose for a while, but my group were moving beyond those D&D-inspired mechanics. This was the era of RuneQuest and The Fantasy Trip. We were hungry for a more authentic experience of Tékumel, so we would pass around the Professor’s letters (he was always incredibly generous with his time) and pick endlessly over comments like this: “We now have one roll to hit, one to get past the shield, one for damage (minus armour) and if one rolls 0 on a 10-sided die on this last roll, the a critical hit for more damage.” Years passed. It was taking too long. I began constructing my own set of Tékumel rules from the fragmentary description in the Professor’s letters, like reconstructing an unknown animal from just a few bones. Finally “the new EPT” appeared. That was Swords & Glory. My group switched for a while, but it was the S&G Sourcebook that was getting dog-eared from use. The other book, the rules, appealed less. “HBS Factors” and “Healing G9s” gave the game a tabletop miniatures flavour rather too far from the freewheeling shared stories we were looking for. And so I returned to my own rules and began to refine them into the game I had hoped Swords & Glory would be. This was the early 1990s, so it seems a little early to talk of an Old School Revival (not a term I like anyway) but the aim was there. Simplify the system so that the rules didn’t keep tripping up the play. Recapture the evocative magic of those early adventures by cross-pollinating EPT spells with ideas from The Book of Ebon Bindings. Make combat quick to use but more than just the endless dice-rolling of, say, RuneQuest. I had two eureka moments. First, in a treatise by a duellist from the 17th century, I came across the concept of “safe fighting”. His contention was that a moderately skilled fighter could, by concentrating on defence, hold off a more skilled opponent who was dividing his attention between attack and defence. In Tirikélu that became the principle of full- and half-actions. It seemed almost too simple on paper, but in practice we found it allowed for rich tactical choices. Also I wanted to avoid hit location and lots of book-keeping, but not simply to revert to the D&D sense of an amorphous pudding of hit points. So taking damage above a certain percentage of your hits can reduce your skill, and may require a check to stay conscious, but you don’t need to keep a tally of how much damage each wound caused. It’s all handled at the point the wound is taken. Nowadays there are quite a few role-playing games where you make a detailed decision about what you’re trying to do, then wade through pages of rules to find your chance of doing it. (GURPS, I’m looking at you.) Tirikélu works best if you keep it abstract till after you roll the dice. “He’s going for a full attack.” “I’m going for a full parry.” Once you resolve that, you’re free to put any narrative interpretation you like on the result. It flows faster that way and, with imaginative players, fights feel agreeably cinematic. Well, here it is – as complete a version of Tirikélu as you’re ever likely to see. I know, I know; it seems like there’s a new Tékumel RPG every couple of years. Who needs yet another? But many people tell me that Tirikélu is their preferred choice, and you know what? It’s mine too. And it is dedicated, as so much of my work is, to the genius, generosity and humanity of Professor M.A.R.

    The Rites of Lucifer On the altar of the Devil up is down, pleasure is pain, darkness is light, slavery is freedom, and madness is sanity. The Satanic ritual cham- ber is die ideal setting for the entertainment of unspoken thoughts or a veritable palace of perversity. Now one of the Devil's most devoted disciples gives a detailed account of all the traditional Satanic rituals. Here are the actual texts of such forbidden rites as the Black Mass and Satanic Baptisms for both adults and children.

Despite the growing number of works addressing the black experience in and with Imperial Germany, Nazi Germany, West Germany, and contemporary Germany, few studies have devoted attention to the black experience in and with East Germany.

    TESTIMONIALS FOR JOURNEY TO THE FUTURE “Guy Dauncey has written an imaginative tour de force, blending science, philosophy, and fi ction into a delightful story about how we can and must change the world, resulting in a bright green future.” ~ David R. Boyd, co-chair of Vancouver’s Greenest City initiative and author of The Optimistic Environmentalist “For those of us who have a hard time making sense of the present, much less the future, Guy Dauncey has delivered a most satisfying, visionary, and practical remedy. Woven into story form that engages from the start, his newest work reveals an entirely possible destiny of justice, shared intention, and sustainable everything. As a fusion of Dauncey’s vast experience, knowledge, and prodigious energy, this story is a fascinating portrayal of how we can live if we simply do what we already know can be done. Best of all, it’s thrilling to read!” ~ Mark Lakeman, founder, The City Repair Project, Portland “You really have to read Journey to the Future twice. Once in paper for the great narrative and once electronically where you can click on every footnote for the amazing amount of research and information on which every detail of the narrative is based. By the time the second read is done you will have all the education that you need to go forth and make it happen.” ~ Martin Golder, architect and mediator “To create a better world we must fi rst be able to imagine what such a world would be like. In Journey to the Future, Guy Dauncey embraces that task and presents an ambitious, detailed vision for a greener, fairer and very inviting world.” ~ Andrew MacLeod, author of A Better Place On Earth: The Search for Fairness in Super Unequal British Columbia “Guy Dauncey has done it again.

  • Fish Biog 2018 in September 1988 Edinburgh Born Singer Derek
    Fish Biog 2018 In September 1988 Edinburgh born singer Derek William Dick, better known by his stage name ‘Fish’ resigned from his position as lead singer with world renowned progressive rock band ‘Marillion’ in a move that shocked both fans and the music business alike. The band were seemingly at the peak of their powers selling out arenas across Europe and having just released their album ‘Clutching at Straws’ in 1987 to critical acclaim following the multi-platinum 1985 album ’Misplaced Childhood’ they looked like they had the world at their feet. ‘Clutching at Straws’ was seen by many to be their best album yet and offered the beginning of an exciting new creative era for the band. “I adored ‘Clutching’. It was very personal to me and painful both writing and especially recording in the studio where confrontations were regular occurrences. We started writing “songs”, not just “bits” that were joined together. ‘Hotel Hobbies’ was a throwback to ‘Misplaced’ but we broke out on ‘Warm Wet Circles’ into bona fide song writing. ‘Incommunicado’ the band really didn’t like when we put it together. They thought it was too simple, a throwaway ‘jam’ .I loved it, it was plugged into my own influences and I admit very ‘Who’ ‘Quadrophenia’, one of my favourite albums. I loved the energy we created. It to me represented the original ‘Marillion attitude’ we had before we became ‘successful’. The fact they didn’t get turned on by it summed up the differences” Behind the scenes internal conflict continued over musical directions and managerial and business issues simmered.
