Polyglot was a biweekly online newsletter about the game hobby industry that ceased publication in 2012. It contained official press releases put out by roleplaying game, board game, miniatures, card game, LARP, comic book, and computer game companies. It was published for free as a downloadable PDF. Polyglot was published by Polymancer Studios, Inc., a Canadian publisher that also prints Polymancer magazine.
It was announced on July 19, 2007, that Polyglot would include editorials and product reviews.[1] The webzine's publisher has not previously endorsed the inclusion of original or editorial content.
In the second anniversary issue (the filename for which indicates it was placed on the company's server on March 8, 2007), the publishers of Polyglot stated that there had been over 600,000 "unique downloads" of Polyglot since March 2005.[2] This was stated in the 53rd issue of the webzine, and similar press releases were made in other outlets.[3][4][5]
