I think I was expecting more flavor and story and less things like specific disorders, psychiatric treatment and so on. I do realize this stuff is essential though seeing as very few of us are psychiatrists. Despite that, just reading it has proven to be sufficiently disturbing. There's just something about the absolutely bleak nature of HPL that makes me roll sanity checks just thinking about it. <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=":)" /> One thing that bothers me is the preservation of the sanity system as has been mentioned before. The reasoning behind it being more effective because its alien to d20 is lame. They should have just gone fully d20 on it. I don't see how it would have been that complicated. Anyways all in all its a good read although I find myself having to take breaks. When I first started reading it, it was more for fun and inspiration but the more I read, the more interested I am in playing in a CoC campaign. Its definitely the most challenging campaign of any d20 product thus far and will seperate the truly masterful game masters from the hack & slash masters.</blockquote>
