[QUOTE="The Great Sun Jester, post: 1005999, member: 13022"] Deeper sigh. I do not consider myself to be, as you would have it, Olive, obsessing over rules systems, when all that I have been trying to do has been to make some input to this discussion, predominantly one-sided as it has been, of which system, Chaosium's or Wizards' is the most appropriate to running Call of Cthulhu, and to have an interesting debate. I'm sorry that you seem to feel so stung by the suggestion that D20 might be less than the perfect all-things-to-all-settings system that it is marketed as that you feel compelled to attack me. If you believe that rules systems are unimportant, though seemingly you believe so only so long as that system is D20, then you're welcome to so believe. Accept, please, that a good number of other people, including a lot of game designers, think differently, and believe that an appropriate system complements its setting, and makes it easier for the GM (or Keeper, or DM, or Hollyhock God, or whatever) to establish an appropriate atmosphere. Neither do I question anyone's intellect, even yours, what I am perhaps seeking to do is to encourage people to question the basis of their decisions. You come across, I'm afraid, as rude, doctrinaire and blinkered, but feel free to prove me wrong by actually advancing an answer to the question I posed, of what positive reccommendations D20 had as a system for Call of Cthulhu, rather than simply attacking me for having a different opinion and daring to share it. I particularly resent that you feel obliged to point out that I'm new here, as if that should somehow cow me, and encourage me to watch what I say, and toe some indefinable party line. I trust most people to be capable of discussing something without rancour, and to enjoy arguing with someone whose opinions differ from theirs. [/QUOTE]
