[QUOTE="TheEldereye, post: 2711959, member: 17739"] Our group just played a BRP game of CoC last weekend after only using the D20 system for our CoC games. As the GM I think they play very similar to each other, infact I was suprsied to see that the claim that the D20 version is "too combat oriented" is not true. We've enjoyed both sets of rules and both rulebooks have very similar mythos sections. I agree with the others that support for D20 is lacking, but it would take no time to convert any of the many BRP adventures. For D20 if your players have played anything D20 its no problem to make PCs and start playing. I'd make them at first level, in our games no one has stayed sane or lived long enough to really worry about level advancement. It is a well written book, and one of the best D20 things I've purchased. My players had never played the BRP game until this weekend, I had sent them the quick start PDF (you can get it the Chaosium website) and had them come up with PC background beforehand. It took about 45 minutes for us to make our PCs that night and explain how the system works. The rulebook is well written and was super eay to run. It relies on simple percentile checks with the GM determining difficulty. I really enjoyed running it. The sanity rules for both games are exact copies of eachother Check out: [url]http://www.yog-sothoth.com/[/url] for stuff on both games. Its a great website with a forum section that was really helpful to me when preparing games. Check out [url]http://www.yog-sothoth.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
