Here is what some advance reviewers have to say about Empire of the Petal Throne:
“Empire of the Petal Throne provides a wealth of information for a beginning referee to work with. Where the players can go, what to do when they get there, and who they will interact with are quite well fleshed out with just the basic book.” – Storm Bringer
“If you are looking for something different in your old school gaming, I can give this a thumbs up.” – Slappy Squirrel / Hagen Kirk

Now make it YOUR Tekumel
The following excerpt is from The Tékumel Sourcebook; Prof. Barker presents some advice about how to approach playing Tékumel:
This advice is, if anything, more true today than in the past. What Prof. Barker wanted was for people to go out and play in his world, and then share the results with one another and with him. Trying to “get it right” is just falling down a rabbit-hole of needless worry. It’s understandable that players and game-masters would want to capture the essence of Tékumel, but that should include testing out your own Tékumel inventions and imaginings in actual gameplay.
From time to time, the Foundation blog will present various excerpts and notes from Prof. Barker which should be of value to Tékumel fans. This is the first in that series; we hope to provide some insights into what he thought was worthy of consideration as you explore Tékumel, the world of the Empire of the Petal Throne.
