Iä! Bruce Baugh disses Chaosium’s version of Call of Cthulhu, and puts forward the loathsome, blasphemous idea that d20 Cthulhu is actually an improvement.
Actually, he does have a point; I feel the old Chaosium rules, although groundbreaking in their time, are getting a bit dated now. But I’m far from convinced that the d20 rules are really an appropriate replacement; d20 is just a bit rules-heavy, and I have yet to see any evidence that d20 can do any style other than cinematic. The last time I ran a (non Mythos) scenario written for CoC, I converted the game to Fudge, which seemed a far better way to go.
Fudge Cthulhu? Sounds interesting. Tell me more!
