[QUOTE="ruleslawyer, post: 2714012, member: 1757"] I'd say go with CoC d20 for a simple reason: If the players don't have to learn new mechanics, then the mechanics slip to the backs of their minds, which means that you can move the emphasis away from them. And CoC is a game that thrives when people aren't focused on the mechanics, but on the story. For old-time BRP players, it's a different story. But I just think that you'll have a better game if people can ignore the mechanics and jump into the story. Also, I tend to have a surer time balancing my investigator vs. cultist fights using d20 than BRP. Simply put, investigators will NEVER be able to fight monsters effectively in the game unless you want them to. (I can see, for example, an [i]Evil Dead[/i]-style game with 15th+ level Investigators kicking Mythos monster butt!) However, it's important that they not get killed off by the cultists before coming face-to-face with the cosmic evil that's SUPPOSED to end their secure, blinkered existences forever. [/QUOTE]
