You get better in the skills that you use, and the better you are with the skill the slower it advances. BRP CoC, any edition, is my preferred rules set for the setting.As has been mentioned, editions are forward and backwards compatible - any edition rules can be used to run any edition scenario with no change. (I tend to think of BRP as Corel Word Perfect, while D&D is closer to Microsoft Word.... Both do the job, but one has difficulty with earlier and later versions.)I have not used Trail of Cthulhu, nor Shadows of Cthulhu, but I have used both the BRP and D20 CoC rules. Currently I am running Delta Green using Spycraft, the Fragile Minds supplement, and the magic rules from CoC D20. (Not for those who want less than heroic investigators! While still fragile the PCs are pretty darned cinematic. On the other hand a Dark Young still managed to take a PC down in a single round.)And while I would not say that Arkham Horror is good for running an RPG I will say that is a heck of a lot of fun! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I need to get some of the expansions.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
