Tékumel: Empire of the Petal Throne is a role-playing game published in 2005 by Guardians of Order based on the fantasy world created by M. A. R. Barker.^[1]

Publication history[edit]

One of the earliest role-playing settings was Tékumel, a fantasy land created by M.A.R. Barker and turned into the role-playing game Empire of the Petal Throne, first by Barker in 1974,^[2] and then by TSR, Inc. the following year.^[3] It was also republished by Different Worlds Publications in 1987.^[4]

In the early years of the 21st century, the Canadian publisher Guardians of Order gained the license to Tekumel, and announced that they would be producing a new version of the setting called Tékumel: Empire of the Petal Throne. However in late 2004, Guardians of the Order ran into severe financial problems that threatened the project.

In the 2014 book Designers & Dragons: The '90s, author Shannon Appelcline recalled Guardian founder Mark C. MacKinnon's announcement in January 2005 that Guardians of Order had multiple problems and all other employees had been let go, but 'Despite that, Guardians published another much-anticipated license, the Tri-Stat Tékumel: Empire of the Petal Throne (2005), in the spring. It was the newest game based in M.A.R. Baker's classic world of Tékumel.'^[5]^:326
