I still want to follow up Humanspace with Lords of the Latter Times, a Gamma World-Mutant Future-Super-Science and Sorcery=game set on Tékumel during the Time of Darkness.<br /><br />I think 772 is probably the canonical number, as it is stated in Swords and Glory and in GOO's Tékumel: Empire of the Petal Throne. This latter work is not without its own difficulties relevant to the mathematics of history as it notes that Tékumel was first visited by Humanspace explorers in the 81st century rather than the 620th or 621st century. <br /><br />I likely picked up the 722 figure from Shawn Bond's "A Chronological Presentation of Tékumel, The Sidereal Universe, and The Majesty of The Empire of The Petal Throne." Mr. Bond also included several non-canonical alien species in his time-line- the noisome tripedal Popo of Beta Aquilae, the shaggy Umpleb from Delta Aquilae, and the insiduous Bahk Muhk from Denebola-that stirred up some confusion on the Blue Room list.The Drunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292082916107221498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-14149656413061353752011-03-07T16:14:37.467-06:002011-03-07T16:14:37.467-06:00No, no, NO!
