Episode 17, “No NPCs on Tékumel”

Welcome to The Hall of Blue Illumination, the podcast dedicated to the world of M.A.R. Barker’s Tékumel.  In this episode, our hosts discuss Prof. Barker’s now-infamous declaration, “There are no NPCs on Tékumel.”  Essentially, what the Professor meant is that the players’ characters aren’t particularly special as far as the greater world of Tékumel is concerned.  Our hosts examine ways to follow this approach in your own games.
