Byakhee README -------------- Greetings, and welcome to the Byakhee Call of Cthulhu character generation program. Call of Cthulhu is the classic horror roleplaying game of Lovecraftian horror, and if you're not familiar with it, I suggest having a look at http://www.chaosium.com/ as a start, or to http://www.yog-sothoth.com/content/ for even more. It was originally published some 30 years ago (in 1981) and was designed by Sandy Petersen. Byakhee's exact origins are lost in time, but I feel comfortable in saying that it was created by David Harvey, who continued writing it through several revisions through the 3.01 release that he made something of a decade ago, around 1999ish. It's a great program for generating Call of Cthulhu characters, but over time his interest in it waned and it's a happy fact that before he abandoned the project, he made it open source with the GNU General Public License and uploaded it to sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/byakhee/. All further distribution of Byakhee is based off of that release, and assumes that he had the legality of it correct at the time. His website is gone due to geocities having been destroyed by the greater gods, but there's still a mirror of it at http://www.role-play.net/tomeskeeper/byakhee.htm. Currently, John Fiala is taking the project in hand. It's a little uncertain, because he's not that familar with C++, but we'll see how things go going forward. The project webpage is now hosted at http://www.jcfiala.net/content/byakhee-coc-character-generator, and the project's source code is being hosted at https://github.com/jcfiala/Byakhee, partially because John is no fan of CVS, which sourceforge is stuck at. John Fiala can be contacted thorugh his website, or at jcfiala at gmail dot com.
