[QUOTE="KaosDevice, post: 2521214, member: 14172"] Like most things in life this is true in one sense, false in another and both true and false at the same time. I've never been a big fan of rules mechanics. I don't really need a full moon chart or a rule system for adjucating duck feeding cycles, less is better in my book. But some rule sets are cool and fun, car chase rules spring to mind. But can the adventures be turned into D20 mechanics with a minimum of trouble? Absolutely. You are dead on there. You obviously don't have one of the leather bound anniversary edition hardbacks with the elder sign on the cover. Not only is it one of the most gorgeous game books I own, it is one of the most gorgeous books I own period. I will agree about the GM section and politely disagree about the Mythos section. Really though this is a very pro-D20 place so, naturally, folks here lean towards that version. It's no big deal and I have no problem with anyone that does. Well this just bothers me. You know Wham had a huge amount of fans in the 80's. People LOVED Titanic. Lots of people love lots of things, that doesn't make said thing the right choice for any other group of people just because of majority opinion. I'm really suprised you used that argument JD, that's not your usual logical and well thought out style. [/QUOTE]
