Covers of hardback and softback editions |
The Tekumel Foundation, depositary and custodian of the rights for the fantasy world of Tekumel (one of gaming's most original settings) created by Professor M.A.R. Barker, has announced that the game is back in its original TSR edition. Here is the official announcement from Tekumel Foundation:
"The new hardcover and softcover editions of Empire of the Petal Throne arrived and are available now at DriveThruRPG.com! Both the hardcover and softcover versions have the following:
- The full text of the original TSR edition of Empire of the Petal Throne as published in a boxed set in 1975
- Errata for the original TSR edition
- A Citizenship Document and translation
- A map of Jakálla – The City Half As Old As the World
- A B&W map of the Five Empires
- Reference Charts from the original TSR boxed set
All of this for $19.95 for the softcover and $24.95 for the hardcover version. The Foundation has also updated the PDF version of the rules; this is still a picture scan of the rules, but it is precisely the same as the text included with the print-on-demand edition. We intend to make a text-searchable version available free to customers who have bought the PDF, as we move ahead with other projects".
