Message: <blockquote data-quote="DallasPA" data-source="post: 1061797" data-attributes="member: 11602">Greetings,Over the years I have almost played every game out there, many have come and gone.  Currently the only game I play or run is D20 CoC.  The only version of D&D I ever played was 1st edition, I have played and DM BRP CoC extensively.  The reason I mention this is because it appears that a lot of statements are being made based upon limited runs of the D20 CoC system.After running several games of the D20 CoC system I have became a fan, why because its far easier for new players to grasp then the old BRP system.  This has nothing the to do with 2nd or 3rd edition D&D which I have never played.  The rules are just plain and simply more straight forward, does that make the better yes and no.From my experience CoC D20 doesnt so much dictate the type of game you will have as much as the types of players/GM participating in your game.  I am an Old School BRP GM using D20 rules.  And what I have found is that BRP players generating characters in CoC D20 are so used to the character models from BRP that the subconciously creat the same types (or a close approximation) in D20 with the same flaws.  Character the are more prone to dodge and run, rather than fight.  Where as D&D characters which come to my games just simply die!!!! very early on.  So for me being an old school BRP GM, the D20 system works fine.  But on the other hand, I can see where this game could get out of hand if say a GM who has only played D&D decided to start a campaign without trying to emulate the Lovecraftian theme.</blockquote>
