The genre is popular, as ever, but there are actually quite a few good offerings. CoC is a bit like D&D in that space, but IME it is no longer the dominant game. It is just too ill-matched to the genre to be perfectly frank. While CoC has great production values and whatnot, the core system it is built on actually bites lava chunks in heck for that type of game. I don't even consider it playable, and I was enthusiastic enough about the game in the 1980's that I own a decent amount of CoC stuff. I would use it as background material nowadays, but for actual play purposes the SoC and FATE derived games that are out there are VASTLY better fits. Trail of Cthulhu is really rather brilliant and produces great Mythos stories, and that is an old game at this point.</p></blockquote><p></p>
