Empire of the Petal Throne (Original Manuscript)

This historical roleplaying manuscript presents the original 1974 rules for exploring the world of Tékumel, created by Professor M.A.R. Barker. It predates the later TSR edition and includes several rules differences while retaining many of its core elements. Prepared from a copy in Barker’s archive, the publication reproduces the original manuscript with each facing page displaying its historical text. It documents an early stage in the development of Tékumel gaming and is presented primarily as an archival edition.
