[Well, that’s TUO3. A solid issue all around, I think. It had a print run of 1200 copies or so I think; I can’t keep the old print runs straight anymore. This time we counted all the copies before we left the printer’s shop and weren’t shorted a bit. The trip to Memphis to pick up the Oath became a regular event, and my parents were of great help for these trips. They even processed subscriptions for TUO5 or 6, a thankless task that I still can’t believe I foisted off on my own parents! Sigh.]

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 ™ 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.

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!
