Empire of the Petal Throne would be near the top pf my list, as would Metamorphosis Alpha and Traveller's Third Imperium.

I might like to see something very contemporary like TFT The Witcher

Here are my TFT Tekumel rules.

If you are a Tekumel fan and have not read Brett's rules, you should do so. If you are not a Tekumel fan, you should become a Tekumel fan at the next opportunity and then read Brett's rules.

I would definitely play a post apocalypse TFT conversion.

Thanks, Steve.

Two URLs for those interested in Tekumel: tekumel.com is the official Tekumel website. Lots of great content here, setting, adventures, zines, etc.

The Eye of Joyful Sitting Amongst Friends is my gaming blog. On the left navbar is a Tekumel Collection link.

I just downloaded Brett’s rules. I was an early Tekumel fan, and even got to play in one of Prof. Barker’s games at Gen Con years ago. EPT was the second or third RPG I bought back when I was in grad school. (I can’t remember if I bought that or T&T first.)

I class Prof. Barker with Tolkien as a world-builder and I’m not sure if I’m underestimating him when I say that.

You are playing post-apocalypse TFT, in a setting called Cidri. All the Mnoren are gone and things have turned to poo.

I would enjoy seeing a game with the base TfT rules and either setting in one self contained game book.

We have a conversion table we used between TFT and AD&D. We played a few modules from AD&D in our home brew campaign based on Blackmoor.

I really like Brett's critters and items; this is a great setting resource.

A related point: Dyson Logos' web site includes maps titled 'My Private Jakalla' - his treatment of the massive complex of sewers and associated dungeons under the main city in the Tekumel setting. I've repurposed and modified these maps for my Cidri campaign (something I've done a lot of with Dyson's materials), but it is obviously also just waiting to be dropped into your Tekumel game. It is really impressive - probably something like 500+ 'rooms', and enough other complexities that you could easily key 1000 locations to it. A true megadungeon. And there are dozens of spots that are obvious launching off places for your additions.

I think that the Taarna sequence in the animated movie Heavy Metal (1981) would be wonderful.

Sort of Post-Apocalypse, but heavily Fantasy.
