[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 9713259, member: 2205"] I actually think the problem with the rules was less about it not working for the theme and tone of CoC (arguably very low level d20 CoC characters are more fragile than BRP CoC characters, and if you're playing in such a way that they're leveling up to 10th level, you've only got yourself to blame for it not really working—then again, I only really used it for one-shots and mini-campaigns, so leveling was [I]never [/I]an issue. The tactical combat, however, was kinda not really what I was looking for in a CoC game...) less so than that I've been so incredibly over d20 and the rulesy fiddlesomeness of that system that I can't imagine ever using it again for anything. That said, the appendix about porting the Cthulhu stuff into your 3e D&D game was, as you say, the inverse of the rest of the book and more like what this looks like. That's something that I think is pretty interesting. I wonder if this is complementary or competing with the Sandy Petersen Cthulhu Mythos stuff for 5e? [/QUOTE]
