Question Regarding Call of Cthulhu Editions

[Morrus]

D20 Call of Cthulhu.

I’m aware of the existence of that version of CoC.

The way you phrased it it sounded like you thought that was the first version of the game.

 

[Imaculata]

Ehhh, pretty sure I didn't phrase it like that at all.

What I said, was that the D20 version is a much older edition, and there have been many other editions since then. I'm not sure what edition they are at right now.

I guess you're joking. Please tell us you know Call of Cthulhu predates D&D 3.5 by 20 years...

I think he's confusing D&D editions for CoC editions.

D20 Call of Cthulhu.

Yes but when you say "With later editions the game became its own thing, with its own rules" it still makes no sense.

CoC was it's own thing already in its first edition, predating D&D 3.5 by decades.

You still sound like you believe the D&D Call of Cthulhu game is part of the same line of editions as is discussed here?

Just by bringing up this completely unrelated game - a conversion from BRP to d20 - it's easy to misunderstand you, since d20 CoC has nothing to do with what the OP is asking for here.

I didn't know if that was the case. I got the impression that the OP was asking about Call of Cthulhu in general.

He is. But he's talking about the editions of the main game. He said he picked up 6th edition. That should clue you in he's not talking about supplements for Trails of Cthulhu, Cthulhu Dark or indeed d20 Call of Cthulhu

He worried about different editions of that game line. Bringing in completely different game engines won't help.

But we're golden now since we're now all on the same page

PS. The list of "call of Cthulhu games" is quite impressive. I couldn't even find a single source detailing all of them. So here's two:
