I find there's quite a bit I'd like to say on them.Д«ut the question might be asked 'what brings JB to the subject of Tekumel in the first place?' Well, Mexico, of course. However, being in Mexico got me thinking of Tekumel, and I've dug out my PDFs of EPT (purchased back in 2014) and took the time to reread them.

Most of those readers fond of frequenting 'old school' blogs have probably encountered articles on EPT, though it's not one I've written much about.
