[QUOTE="Sam, post: 1090247, member: 1024"] It's a horror setting. Based in large part on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft (and others that contributed to the Lovecraft "Mythos"). Very fun. Dark and psychological. More role-playing oriented than combat oriented. The Chaosium vs. WotC thing is that there are two versions out. The Chaosium version uses the Basic RolePlaying system (a different system that I'm not really familar with), while the WotC version uses a d20 system. The d20 system is what we play, and enjoy it alot. You can find a bunch of stuff for the Choasium system, and most of the newer stuff is dual-statted. Fantasy Flight Games has a great campaign book for the d20 system called Nocturnum (I'm using it in my CoCd20 campaign). So, if you don't mind learning a new system and aren't all that fond of d20, check out the BRP system. If you don't want to learn a new rule-set, pick up the WotC verison. Either way, it's a great game. Oh, and make sure you read some Lovecraft! There's a bunch of stuff available free on the net (it's public domain now) and there's a couple of great anthologies available at bookstores. [/QUOTE]
