The other flavor often seen at conventions is a one shot where everyone dies.As for how the game plays -  there are many styles.  Delta Green is a modern setting that melds X Files with CoC.  Traditional Cthulhu set in 1920s is normally about a group of investigators banding together to get to the bottom of a mystery, add cults, monsters and horror.  The other traditional setting is 1890s which has a Jack the Ripper meets Orson Welles feel <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I recommend readin a few stories by H P Lovecraft (some are free on the net).Also check out the Dark Ages Cthulhu fee web supplement floating aorund.  Its quite good.</blockquote>
