It wasn't just a fun system, but it really helped to evoke an atmosphere and in addition, was a very deadly system but had 'outs' with Fate points so you could put your characters in scary situations and still get out alive.I've never played the d20 version but I just don't see how it could possibly translate or give the same play experience. Just having such a codified set of rules would really water down the concepts in the setting, let alone the atmosphere of intense horror, danger and excitement.</blockquote>
