jtgorman(July 9, 2012, 10:52 a.m.) The Tekumel Foundation may not have the license. They've digitized a lot of stuff themselves that Barker wrote, just not the novels. DAW was the original publisher of the works. Of course, it may just be they already had plans themselves to release the novels.
AmandaM(July 6, 2012, 1:56 p.m.) We have not heard back from the Tekumel Foundation; we will try some other avenues to reach the M.A.K. Barker Estate.
RightsatUnglueit(May 31, 2012, 9:43 a.m.) Delighted you're recruiting your Game Club friends. Please let us know if you find other Tekumel and M.A.K Barker fans. We're waiting to hear back from the Foundation re the literary estate and rights to Man of Gold.
jtgorman(May 30, 2012, 6:12 p.m.) Oh, and also to sign up for unglue.it if he hasn't already ;)
jtgorman(May 30, 2012, 6:04 p.m.) Ah, very cool. Best of luck. I'm getting ready right now to go to a Game Club by the person who recommended M.A.R Barker's stuff and is a huge fan. (I'll tell him to cross his fingers ;) ).
RightsatUnglueit(May 30, 2012, 4:28 p.m.) Thanks for this lead to an early role-playing creator. The Tekumel Foundation seems to be handling all rights to the author’s Tekumel related materials since his death, and we will be in touch with them. info @ tekumelfoundation.org
jtgorman(May 24, 2012, 7:49 a.m.) A fantasy classic, by an influential but now mostly side-lined and seemingly forgotten author. He was particularly influential in early role-playing game history. I'd say more, but I've never read any of his books as they were never printed in great quantities.
