Please, guys, can you address the elephant in the room?
People should continue to enjoy the setting. Hearing your path forward would be useful and helpful for fans, and, ultimately, the future of the setting.
James at least addressed it once, but Victor’s silence, both as an individual and a representative of the board, is just weird. The message the board released raises some serious questions, and leaving them unanswered will hamper its efforts going forward.
Dr. Victor Raymond, a few months ago, the Tekumel Foundation, which you’ve chaired since at least Barker’s death in 2012, made the public claim that it was “reaching out to several Jewish organizations (…) to work with them through this issue”, i.e. that the man whose work the Foundation is still selling and promoting was a neo-fascist, a white supremacist, and an active antisemite.
Which Jewish organizations have answered the Foundation’s call to work “through this issue”? What changes, if any, has this cooperation between the Foundation and these Jewish organizations led to? Will “The Egg of the World”, the players’ guide you’ve been working on, address “this issue” and/or explain:
(1) How anyone interested in the world of Tekumel can somehow still buy and use books that were written by an active neo-fascist/antisemite?
(2) How the issue of the antisemitic “Pygmy Folk” descriptions found in “The Tekumel Sourcebook” should be tackled?
(3) How anyone could still buy material put out by the Tekumel Foundation, or you for that matter, while knowing that the Foundation, under your chairmanship, chose to mislead people about Barker’s views and activities for over a decade?
Thanks.
I noted that the Engsvenyali used poisoned traps. Considering Napolean had poison mixed in 1812 and in 1815 he took them and they only made him sick; I wonder how effective poisons would be 100,000 years later.
