[QUOTE="Kaptain_Kantrip, post: 237538, member: 546"] I never liked Chaosium or their products. I don't think they have any intention of providing proper or timely support for CofC d20. It's been forever, and no support products have materialized, despite promises. The time to release those products was in the immediate wake of CoC d20's release, not six-twelve months later. No support = dead game. IMO, Chaosium wants CoC d20 to fail. They also appear to have no grasp on how d20 works (based on Dragon Lords of Melnibone's pathetic attempt at implementing d20 for Elric!), so I would question the usefulness of any d20 stats they provide, before blindly acepting them. Chaosium also tends to insert lame humor into their NPC stats like "gibber and squeak 90%". This is neither amusing nor useful, and in d20, detrimental to determining an NPC or creature's correct skill points. And lastly, Chaosium's products look cheap (bad art) and read as being rather amateur and overly verbose. I could never get into anything they did and don't expect their CoC d20 products to be any better. I'll still give them a look, but they better be spectacular to get my gaming dollar. [/QUOTE]
