Labsenpai, I must admit to not having any of the Delta Green books. Like a friend of mine told me after reading the posts, some great adventures are missing form that list. Well I must admit to not being an adventure guy. I would much rather create my own adventures and scenarios. Not a value judgment, just personal choice. I realize that the Delta Green books may be seen as a campaign not so much as a linear adventure if you don’t want to run it as such and mine it for ideas, but I never got my hands on it. If anything, writing the post has opened my eyes to all the great Lovecraftian books I’ve missed!

The DELTA GREEN books should be on any list dedicated to the mythos... .-= labsenpai´s last undefined ..If you register your site for free at =-.

I completely agree with you about CoC d20 having a different feel than classic CoC. I actually take that different feel into consideration when I'm deciding what type of CoC game I want to run and what system I'm going to use. I've also taken ideas from CoC d20 and used them in other d20 games as well. I've used the character creation rules and a good number of the skills in a d20 Zombie Survival game I've been working on. Also, of course, I've taken a good number of the monsters and converted them over to Pathfinder rules to use them in that game. .-= Cody´s last blog ..Looking for a Good Book? =-.

Tyler I actually own that game. I got it at a steep discount when a gaming store went out of business. I am yet to play it. I’m going to have to open that box!

Cody, I like CoC d20 exactly because it has a different feel than classic CoC. I’ve taken ideas from it into other D20 games. I already ordered Realms of Cthulhu, so once I get to read it I’ll share my experiences. Michael’s review certainly makes me look forward to the book getting here!

Finally, someone else who likes Call of Cthulhu d20. I actually played the d20 version before I played the Chaosium one and I still own my d20 book and play it every so often.

Besides CoC d20 and Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu, I really like Realms of Cthulhu. I love the Savage Worlds ruleset and it's cool to see the Cthulhu Mythos done with it.

Hands down, the board game Arkham Horror is my favorite Cthulhu-themed gaming product. It's a great pseudo-RPG with tons of atmosphere, but also the opportunity to prod buttock. That may not be entirely in keeping with the Lovecraftian ethos, but it's a fine way to spend an evening. .-= Tyler´s last blog ..Greg Poehlein on All Games Considered =-.
