| | [Tekumel] Sell me on Tekumel - RPGnet Forums |
 | | Basically, Jorune is a neat setting designed for a game, while Tekumel is a neat setting with a game designed for it. | | | Tekumel just seems too varied to be encompassed in a class-based system, unless they are going for a more "class-as-archetype" approach. | | | People are very excited about the new game because while Tekumel is a beautiful setting, the rules support for it has been less than perfect. |

| | For role players, EPT was Tekumel for a very long time. | | | Referees are thus introduced to some of the region's major players, and the great conflict that will swirl around in the background of the game, long before players are of sufficient power to interact with these schemes. | | | Tekumel still lives, with a dedicated fan base still playing it with whatever rules they like. |

Barker added. | | | Over the years, core role-playing games set in the Tekumel universe were also published by other companies: Lou Zocchi's Gamescience, Different Worlds, and Tekumel Games have all produced Tekumel products. |

| | Much of the drama in a Tekumel game comes from the conflict among the characters' roles, rather than between the characters themselves. | | | The published game EMPIRE OF THE PETAL THRONE assumes that Tekumel is a lost colony of starfaring mankind; this may or may not be true in this campaign. | | | Tsolyanu is ruled by the Emperor, who in theory owns everyone and everything in the Empire. |

| | Jorune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | For example, some game terms were derived from the language of Jorune, such as the use of "Sholari" ("master") for the gamemaster. | | | While Jorune had many original and quite different ideas in its setting (compared to the role-playing games of its day) it was often perceived as a poor man's Tekumel due to a number of similarities. | | | These included the idea of human's colonising a distant planet and subsequently losing contact with the rest of humanity (a dimensional rift in Tekumel's case, civil war in Jorune's) leading to the regression of the colonist's society and war against the planet's native inhabitants. |
