Introduction to The Annotated Unspeakable Oath

(C)1993 John Tynes

This is a series of freely-distributable text files that presents the textual contents of early issues of The Unspeakable Oath, the world’s premiere digest for Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu (tm) role-playing game.

Each file contains the nearly-complete text from a given issue. Anything missing is described briefly with the file, and is missing either due to copyright problems or because the information has been or will be reprinted in a commercial product.

Everything in this file is copyrighted by the original authors, and each section carries that copyright. This file may be freely distributed provided that no money is charged whatsoever for its distribution. This file may only be distributed if it is intact, whole, and unchanged. All copyright notices must be retained. Modified versions may not be distributed — the contents belong to the creators, so please respect their work.

Abusing my position as editor and instigator of the magazine and this project, I have taken the liberty of adding comments to some of the contents where I thought I had something interesting or historically worth preserving to say. Yeah, right!
