Tekumel Published
With two friends I have developed a new RPG set on Tekumel for Guardians Of Order, a Canadian RPG company. It is out!
RPG Updates
I have been running my new game settings, based on my serial campaign concept, as well as have complete websites: ShadowWorld Mainline, ShadowWorld WWII and Grand Design.
I am working on a new current day ShadowWorld setting, with a new, entirely different cosmology.

Underworld is now ShadowWorld
Underworld, though laying claim to prior use, was renamed to ShadowWorld in the summer of 2002, to avoid confusion with earlier published role playing games with same or similar names.
It was moved to its own website.
