I started to read CoC adventures earlier this week.As one of the posters above mentioned,  a break from High Fantasy might be best - and I appreciate that too. The thing with CoC is, you have to enjoy the game for being what it is - an adventure mystery game. The overall elements of the mystery are what drives the fun; not the characters. If you are in it to get attached to your character and work it up - it is certain to end in disappointment. The game is lethal by design. That  is both the game's charm - and its weakness.I could try a SF game for an interlude instead I suppose. That might be interesting. The last time I tried it, it was with LUG's Star Trek TNG. It had its moments, but I find SF games for me to be very hard to run and stay involved in it.  It's very hard to tell the players with a straight face to invest time and emotion into a campaign that everyone knows will flare out pretty quickly.If I had managed to acquire a suitable amount of Star Wars D20  - I might have gone that route. Except my wife is a major Star Wars geek and knows the setting better than anyone at the table - and I'll be damned if I'll have my wife rolling her eyes at me during a game that I'm GMing <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=":)" /></blockquote>
