[QUOTE="omnimpotent, post: 817088, member: 9162"] I think Byron's Ghost has a good point, in that Dunwich is a more advanced investigating area than, say, Arkham. CoC players who don't know better than to be very afraid of the Dunwich underground areas may die like flies for you. If you are considering buying Arkham, go with it. I only have the old BRP version of it, but I remember it being a little more introductory friendly than Dunwich. The setting is more civilized, which is easier for players to relate to. I recall the scenarios in it being pretty good, too. (WARNING - fuzzy memory and old version of book - don't hold me to it) Plus, it's the home of Armitage, and the likely staging point for any ventures into Dunwich country. Hey, if you were to run a couple of smaller intro adventures in Arkham, in which the characters need library research help, and meet helpful Professor Armitage, it would be neat if they were to brush up against Wilbur on the way out of the library, and read about his demise in the paper the next day. Then, Professor Armitage will be unavailable for a while, as he is conducting field studies. Then, he might return, haggard and shaken, and in need of a favor returned... [/QUOTE]
