On the other hand, you can pick up a module written in 1983 and still run it straight off the shelf with little-to-no modification, which is very handy.Really whether you'll like the system or not depends on how crunchy you'd like it to be. CoC as written is heavy on fluff light on crunch and most of its adherents prefer it that way. I like a little more crunch myself, but only as much as needs to be without interrupting the flow or killing the mood.At the risk of self-pluggery, I've assembled a Saga-edition kitbash game that borrows heavily from CoC that you might find useful:<a href="http://www.gneech.com/uncanny" target="_blank">Uncanny Midnight Tales, by John "The Gneech" Robey</a>Hope this helps!-The Gneech <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
