SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Link.

It's like a monograph, except it covers many subjects. It's basically the bulk of my fan material for Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu condensed into one organized, searchable 130-page document. Includes 19 new tomes, 6 new spells, and 6 new Mythos creatures. Free.

Read up, have fun, let me know what you think.

You're lying.

Seriously, though- I've never heard this use of polygraph.

The Mosaic Oracle is on sale now. It\'s a raw, open-sourced game design Toolk/Kit based on Lurianic Kabbalah and Lambda Calculus that uses English key words to build statements. If you can tell stories, you can make it work. It fits on one page. Wait for future games if you want something basic; an implementation called Wonders and Worldlings is coming soon.

It's unconventional, sure. "Polygraph" can be a writer who writes in many different fields (compare the term "polymath"), and Chaosium has for several years now been releasing monographs, which are treatises on a single subject.

I was just making a lame joke, but on the plus side, I bumped the thread. I'm working on something at the moment, but I've bookmarked the document. It looks interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

Now, everybody who thought that this thread was going to be about a horrific, sanity-blasting lie detector from a pre-human civilization, raise your hand.

*raises hand*

I promiss to read your "polygraph" (like Manuel, I've never seen the word used in this way, but I like it :D) as soon as I can.
