ARTICLES - Several good posts by Barry Blatt of late.

Barry Blatt is on a roll of late.

First off, one of his comments on an article he had written the day we heard the sad news regarding the professor - "the best way of remembering him, IMO, is to keep playing Tekumel games, so we shall." I agree. Let us collectively keep Tekumel gaming vibrant for generations to come.

Here are a few Tekumel articles he has produced in the last couple weeks:

Just a smorgasbord of Tekumel goodness. Keep them coming Barry! Great work.

DISCUSSION - Decent thread regarding Tekumel over at Story Games

This recent thread on Tekumel over at the Story Games site is worth reading:

I think Barry Blatt's comment in that thread is near pitch perfect (his username is Bert on that page). Very nicely done.

Still not up to date, but, we start the campaign again on Tues, so, I am trying to get caught up. One more after this should do it..  linky corrected..

EVENTS - Barry Blatt running a newer Advanced EPT via G+ Hangouts

Barry Blatt has been posting regularly regarding a newer Lamentations Of The Flaming Princess expansion/conversion called "Advanced EPT". He links to his conversion document on his site articles regarding the topic. He is also running a few G+ Hangouts (web chats on google plus, which work wonderfully for a near-table top experience online), in the near future. Keep an eye on his website for follow-up information.
