New Company
After decades of gaming together and talking about various rule systems, we endeavored to make our own game, keeping the things that made TTRPG in-line with our thinking. We hope you play Telken Lost and enjoy it!
Old Gamers
The team of Tortoise & Tears founded Telken Lost Games backed by a century of gaming experience; covering board games, role playing games, larping, paper-and-pencil, and computer games. And yes, even some sports.
Bill Chamberlain Tortoise
Most recently, Bill taught at Landmark School for 24 years, a school serving students with LBLD. Before that he was a musician and a music student for a couple decades. For the last couple of years, he traveled in Europe while working on Telken. Bill grew up enjoying board games, especially the avalon hill line (eg Stalingrad) and while that's still a passion, computer games are more in the scene. Bill enjoys playing with ideas that mash up concept art, music composition, and writing stories.
