On a recent shopping excursion I was fortunate enough to find a used copy of the Call of Cthulhu corebook in good condition. I've played in several campaigns previously but had never actually bought the book as I'd not been the one running it. I picked it up with an eye towards using it to run my gaming groups annual Halloween session.
My question is, how much difference is there between the various editions? The copy I picked up is a 6th edition core book and most of the supplements I've been looking at online are 7th edition. Is it easy to use those books between editions or would I be better off considering going ahead and snagging a copy of the 7th Edition corebook if I want to use the supplements?
Also, any general tips from those with more experience with this game would be appreciated. I feel I've got a pretty good handle on it since I've read the majority of Lovecraft's work and have played quite a bit of the game but this would be my first time GMing a session.
