Introduction

The Myriad Lite project started as a quick weekend project to create the rudiments of a combat and roleplaying HUD/meter for virtual worlds, based on the freely and openly licensed Myriad RPG system. This kit represents a point-in-time snapshot of the initial working distribution of Myriad Lite, which I am making available freely to everyone to study, learn from, adapt, or contribute to. These scripts have been tested on SecondLife (http://secondlife.com) and OpenSim (on OSgrid http://osgrid.org).
