[QUOTE="jaerdaph, post: 440898, member: 3398"] I wouldn't go that far - the conversions in the d20 appendix are good and it does make the book useful to d20 CoC fans as well as BRP fans, especially if they intend to create their own 1920's adventures set in Dunwich. This book is still primarily a campaign sourcebook - a gazetteer and idea generator - which is its primary role. I do think Chaosium should give suggested d20 CoC character levels (and average party levels) in any future dual stat supplements, especially adventure collections, be they primarily for d20 or BRP. As you pointed out, level-based play and skill-based play are significantly different to warrant this. The missing d20 adventure levels is an item for an errata file, and I'm sure a simple request to Chaosium could get us an answer, and alert them to the issue for future products. Initially, I was under the impression (and I think most people were) that the only d20 material would be in the [i]Pulp Cthulhu[/i] line, and that would contain appendix material for BRP conversion. I'm thrilled that Chaosium has decided to dual stat some of their traditional BRP 1920's line so they can be of use to d20 fans, and I hope they do so for some of their other CoC lines - [i]Cthulhu by Gaslight[/i] reprint, anyone? :) [/QUOTE]
