Which campaign setting book should I buy? Star Wars or Cthulhu?

[Green Knight]

I can't decide between the 2, so help me out here, folks! Which campaign setting book should I buy? I can currently only afford one.

Go for the insanity!!!

It really depends on what kind of game you want to run. If you're just getting it to read, definitely pick up Cthulhu. I personally, would much rather play Cthulhu than Star Wars any day, but both only as (multiple) one-shots; I simply can't sustain enough interest in Star Wars for a full-blown campaign and the PCs don't survive long enough for a full campaign in Cthulhu!

To recap: I like horror a lot, so I would go with Cthulhu.

That's a strange question. They are so totally different that it really depends on what you WANT more. I think rules-wise SWRCRB is much better honed, but d20 CoC is still playable and probably a better bargain if you are looking to add stuff to a normal D&D game.

Only a true gamer could have trouble choosing between the two.

Choose Cthulu. The reason is WoTC has stated that they may not reprint that book. But, Star Wars they will. In which case, you want to get the book while available. If I would have known how good it was, I would have bidded on the signed copy of it..

Buy both and combine the two.

Attack of the Ctholoids! The Dunwich Menace! The possibilities are endless!

Gotta be the Cthulhu.

Not planning on running either, as I'm not a DM. Just want one to read, and if I like it, I'll harrangue my DM into running it.

The CoC is a better bet, in my opinion

It has more background as well as offering more if you decided to DM a D&D campagian.

However Star Wars revisied is pretty good as well. I brought both
