RQ isn't much like D&D, but it sure is closer to D&D than it is to anything Lovecraft wrote. Chaosium did exactly the same thing with their system that d20 is doing now - customizing it for different genres. Pendragon couldn't be less like CoC, but they use the same base system. Stormbringer also uses the same system as CoC. That system was also used for a number of different games, like Ringworld (way back when). It's only 20 years of getting used to it that makes it all seem "perfect" for a given genre. If you want to pass on it, that's perfectly fine. But I'm sure many decried Chaosium's attempts to do CoC at first.</p></blockquote><p></p>
