We know that Tekumél creatior Professor M.A.R. Barker was a friend of Dave Arneson and that both the Professor and many from his group ventured into Blackmoor with Arneson as DM. Arneson also played in the Professor's games of course, most notably with Captain Harchar.

Deborah Naffziger from Barker's group played Toska Rusa and likely had an influence on the development of Afridhi culture. It has even been speculated that the Afridhi as a whole were imported from Tekumél.

Are there other influences or connections between the two settings?

:twisted:

What was the most popular Tekumel crossover, to begin with, and how the Tekumel people get to that world?

Now, THAT in Blackmoor, great campaign. Remember the idea I pitched you last year about Sumerset's last fight?
It would have been about that.

:)

I played EPT a few times and enjoyed it. I liked the details that were provided that were not present/available in the early D&D. Tekumel was a deadly place for newbies though. Other than Toska Rusa, I am not aware of any crossovers.

It was with the EPT rules. At this point, I don't remember who else played, nor do I remember anything about my character. Sorry.

I'm sorry I missed this thread the first time around; I've posted a few things in other threads that might be of help, here...

yours, chirine
