the eye of joyful sitting amongst friends 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 sunday january 24 2021 the best of the journal the pettigrew selections mark pettigrew wrote the delightful swashbuckling role playing game flashing blades he also wrote two tekumel adventures a jakallan intrigue and the tomb complex of nereshanbo the best of the journal the pettigrew selections is a collection of his articles from two of the tekumel fanzines of the 1980s the imperial courier and the journal of tekumeli affairs tauknelin zu aryal a thousand flowers describes an ancient art of paper folding similar to origami used for various occasions it makes a nice detail to add to a festive party or ritual marching with the ever glorious provides a sort of life path system for being in a legion during the war with yan kor it reminds me of the classic traveller book 4 mercenary military tour of duty system you roll each month for an event and find out what happens do you go on a raid or lose your kilt in a kevuk dice game the high seas of tekumel provides a system for ocean going merchants plying the seas looking for profit and adventure you buy a ship and acquire a crew and then you better fill the hold with valuables the economic system is a little simple and fairly easy to make a good profit might need tweaking but it is a solid framework to work from this also reminds me of traveller merchants the underworlds is a complete system for random tekumel underworld mapping it divides levels up into groups of rooms with a single purpose called structures sample structures are catacombs shrines tombs palaces wizard towers canals mazes nexus points and ancient tunnels each structure type has a table of room types like labs and summoning rooms living quarters and courtyards for the wizard tower further tables give more details to the rooms i really want to map something out with this it sounds like a way to make underworlds that make some sense in the setting rather than purely random affairs new magical items for ept details sixteen amulets and miscellaneous magical items the scimitar of chake the dismemberer was mentioned in the book of ebon bindings korunkoi hibiyurmongekh or the tome of alchemy is a book that teaches the transmutation spell more delights await the hirilakte arena delivers tables for determining the opponents at the arena and betting npc personalities in ept gives a system for giving npcs some pizzazz i encourage you to explore his work the flashing blades boxed set is one of the best three musketeer style swashbuckling games published it has several adventures and a caribbean pirate supplement as well highly recommended posted by brett slocum at 3 56 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday august 18 2020 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 posted by brett slocum at 11 30 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday april 4 2019 supernova starship redux i designed a new ship for my supernova explorers the scout was too small and the 400 ton explorer in cepheus light is just too big for my purposes i settled on a 200 ton ship i also wanted to try out the cepheus light starship construction rules one nice note is that the ce rules use something close to the book 5 fuel requirements for the power plant which i also use with the book 2 shipbuilding rules type e explorer hull 200 ton streamlined stealth hull engines jump 2 maneuver 2g fuel 48 tons 1 jump 2 8 weeks operation fuel scoops fuel processor 20t day computer model 2 jump 2 sensor jump dm 0 weaponry 2x triple turret 2x beam lasers 1x missile 3 smart missiles loaded magazine 1 ton 12 smart missiles fittings 15 probe drones repair drones air raft gig 8 staterooms 8 low berths 8 escape pods laboratory medlab and armory cargo 29 tons 24 smart missiles 2 tons cost 97 69 mcr i think this is pretty good for a long range exploration vessel comments and thoughts posted by

neighborhood mapping i looked at solomani rim and the gurps interstellar wars map of sol subsector and it looks interesting but i am not using the imperium and there s a big gap rimward from earth so i have no incentive to stick to the same map sol subsector circa 2170 stellagama publishing s near space takes the latest astronomical data about the local solar neighborhood including the current knowledge of exoplanets and brown dwarfs and presents the nine subsectors centered on sol near space stellagama added a number of brown dwarf stars to the area because they are difficult to find and they fill in some gaps any star labeled hsc is one of the invented brown dwarfs hsc hypothetical star catalogue in general i ignored the added brown dwarfs except in one instance within 1 parsec of sol i used the same dodge that traveller used a planetary body at 1 parsec from earth to serve as a jump 1 bridge to alpha centauri and barnard s star once we get to either of those stars we have access to a nice big chain of systems all accessible by jump 1 mapping software with my map selected i could start building up the planets of the sector i just needed a subsector mapper i looked at a couple but settled on alex schoeder s traveller subsector generator you can either generate a random subsector or input a list of your own worlds the feature that sealed the deal was that tsg will connect each world to a page in a wiki page in alex s campaignwiki org a wiki farm for rpg campaigns so when you generate the subsector you specify the name of your campaign wiki and the software adds a link in the svg file for each hex with a star pointing to the system page in your wiki the map becomes the way to access all the planet data filling in the planets near space gives size atmosphere and hydrographics for each planet what i needed was what else was in the system so i needed to generate the details of the rest of the system i turned to gurps traveller first in to supply that the random rules star system provides details like orbits gas giants asteroid belts and terrestrial planets the system also gives the life zone of the star the world generator provides more details of planets such as surface temperature orbital and rotation periods climate atmospheric composition and ecosphere something i m most interested in for additional planetary data i turned to gurps interstellar wars again i pulled some of the details about the planets from these descriptions removing references to the imperium 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 other posts about supernova classic traveller campaign supernova traveller supernova the scout ship posted by brett
