]]>In light of these revelations, we have decided to scrub that man’s name from the credits of our Tekumel products. We will also add a disclaimer to the Bethorm rulebook, confronting and repudiating his unacceptable opinions. Further, we are in contractual negotiations with the Tekumel Foundation to separate his name from the copyright to our works. That last point is complicated by their legal agreements with his spouse, and may take an as-yet unknown amount of time.
We beg our supporters patience while we work through the necessary negotiations and editing. As each of our products is re-released with these changes, we will let you all know.
Update 10/1/2023
Our request not to copyright Barker has unfortunately been denied. Now that we have that final answer, we will move forward asap with the other changes to our products in this line that we previously announced. Thank you for your patience and support.
]]>That this acknowledgment was not done earlier was and is a mistake, and we apologize for that. We have been reaching out to several Jewish organizations to express our outrage over our findings and make our priority to work with them through this issue.
What Professor Barker did was wrong and forever tarnished his creative and academic legacy. As stewards of the world of Tekumel, we reject and repudiate *Serpent’s Walk* and everything it stands for and all other anti-Semitic activity Professor Barker was involved with.
The Tekumel Foundation has never been involved with or profited from the publication, distribution, or sale of *Serpent’s Walk* in any way, shape, or form. All of the proceeds from sales of Tekumel-related material have gone and will continue to go to the Foundation and its work, and not to any racist or anti-Semitic organizations or causes, in any way, shape, or form.

Bethorm’s all-in-one rulebook features the first tabletop RPG setting ever published (TSR’s Empire of the Petal Throne, 1975) – with over 100 illustrations by me!
Far in the future, humans and their alien allies conquer and terraform the lush planet Tékumel. A disaster casts Tékumel’s star system into a pocket dimension. Cut off from Humanspace, civilizations rise and fall as the descendants revert to savagery – while also mastering the forces of magic which operate in Tékumel’s new universe.
Strange alien creatures prowl the wilderness. Mighty heroes do battle in the arenas. Underground chambers hold vast treasures. Opposing temples wrestle for Imperial influence. Pirates and monsters prowl the steaming seas. Automatons guard ancient hoards of technological wonders. Imperial heirs compete for ascension to the Petal Throne. Enemy empires plot the overthrow the empire of Tsolyánu. Hostile nonhuman races seek the destruction of Mankind. The Undying Wizards guard – and manipulate – the timeline. Nexus points open to the Demon Realms. And the Pariah Gods seek the end of existence itself!
Powered by the skill-based Pocket Universe system, PCs are allowed almost any combination of abilities and skills. Join an Imperial legion or hire your sword out to the highest bidder. Become a member of a secret society within your temple, or a sorcerer mastering ancient spells. Be a diplomat engaged in foreign intrigue, a wealthy bravo seeking adventure, a scholar studying secrets of the ancient past… Tékumel offers a whole world of exotic adventures!
