To take the devil's advocate position here, what do you think the chances are that a GM who is unfamiliar with the Cthulhu mythos would choose to run Cthulhu Dark, and what are the chances of that game being any good if they did? Or the chances of someone who isn't already a Bronte fan and familiar with that sort of book running Wuthering Heights, or that game being good if they did?There is a point here. I don't think you can run an improv Cthulhu game without knowing anything about Cthulhu. You might not need to do specifically RPG style prep to manage it, but all that means is that you've read a lot of the mythos books and have a solid understanding of how the setting and NPC characters fit together at least generally.Edit - that habit of rapid fire questions sticks like treacle. Sorry.</blockquote>
