I've finished stardardizing the stat blocks for the intelligent nonhumans, and also all of the creatures summoned by sorcery and the creatures that are magic items.

I've also done a pass to streamline the character creation section ('standard' character generation will be for Tsolyani humans only; foreigners & nonhumans will have their own special case rules in separate sections at the end).

I've done a preliminary sketch for the Tinaliya (love these guys!); I'm doing the final pencils and hopefully the inks tonight. Netflix just sent me the first disk of season 2 of Downton Abbey, so that should keep me glued in front of the TV, working. That's how I usually get my art done!

Here's a sample stat block:

I'm continuing with edits to character generation; it's going very well. The Tinaliya pencil art is done; I should have the finished drawing up on DeviantArt tomorrow.

The new Tinaliya drawing is now on DeviantArt: http://fav.me/d7q7ij1

Next up is the Tlekku!

The final pass on character generation continues, with a focus on adding background information to help players build Tekumel-y characters.

This website went down fr a few hours over the weekend. It's all better now - I hope nobody freaked!

Over the last couple of days I've been coordinating with Alyssa Faden, tweaking a few minor details on her map of Katalal to make it super extra awesome. Check out her latest previews:

Market Stalls in the Great Square of the Seven Heroes: Image

The Prison of Inanition (debtors & clanless persons): Image

Ruined barracks of the Legion of the Sun-Bright Sword: Image

Armory of Chegan of Tleku: Image

Tonight I'm drawing the Tlekku. Woof!

Next up is the Tsoggu, "the Drowned One"!

I'm continuing my final pass on the character generation section, adding in the relevant cultural bits and smoothing out the rough edges. It's going very well 🙂

The new Tsoggu drawing is on DevantArt: http://fav.me/d7rhb4t

Next up is the Urunen!

Editing of the character creation section is proceeding. I ran a short playtest with Talzhemir Mrr and our friend Brian Adams yesterday, including character generation using the new sequence. It went well, but was slower than I'd like. It didn't help that Talz left to room in the middle to get us all pizza 🙂

I'm completing the Urunen preliminary pencil art today. I also made some progress on a final review of the Skills section of character generation. And finally, Alyssa Faden submitted a final draft of the b&w Katalal map, which I've submitted to the Tekumel Foundation for approval. Once they've signed off on it, she'll proceed to create a color version. Can't wait!

P.S.: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Tonight I ran the rest of the Bethorm session that I mentioned in a previous post. The PCs, young recruits in the Legion of the Destroyers of Cities, were assigned to bodyguard a crew of sewer workers on a repair mission in Katalal. Seems there have been a number of recent breaches between the sewers and the upper levels of the Underworld, probably caused by Katalal's bungled Ditlana several centuries ago, releasing many creatures into the sewer system and interfering with normal maintenance. The Governor has lost patience with the city's troublesome drainage system, and requested the troops to help set things aright. Mission accomplished, though on the way our heroes attracted the attention of some Kurtani anti-Sarku fanatics, who laid an ambush for them. Outnumbered by these ill-equipped and poorly trained but invisible attackers, the Legionaries still managed to prevail - though the Kurtani sorcerer and presumed leader escaped.

I'm looking forward to getting a hold of all of this Tekumel goodness. Thank you for doing this. Thanks for the updates.
