Another Gamehole Con finished, and it was amazing! My thanks to Alex Kammer, Josh Hoyt, and the rest of the Gamehole Con committee - it was an honor to be a special guest this year, and I worked to make sure that I made it worthwhile: 2 AD&D 50th Anniversary 1-hour events, 3 Tekumel events, and 1 Traveller event. I am fatigued but very happy. Looking forward to next year! (More photos to follow)

Just how DO you do combat in Empire of the Petal Throne? If you thought it was just like OD&D, you might want to think again! This is the next part of my series of blog posts about issues that need attention for EPT to work better as a means of introducing newcomers to Tékumel.
