If you don't like the themes of Lovecraftian horror, why do you play Call of Cthulhu?

BRP Ruleset?

You might want to check out "Renaissance 1520 - Adventures in the Holy Roman Empire" for Renaissance. I also posted some supplementary material I made for my Mythras game in the downloads section. https://basicroleplaying.org/files/category/62-mythras/

I've never played it. It's an percentile based, investigative horror rpg, 1st edition emulates the themes of hammer horror movies, 2nd tends more towards later, slasher-type films from what I understand. Cryptworld from Goblinoid Games is a clone of Chill 1e.

There are a series of modules on DTRPG I find interesting, "FRIGHT NIGHT CLASSICS", seemingly designed to be run with Chill (1e). Does anyone know how one would convert from that system to BRP or CoC?

How does it compare to Guilds, Factions & Cults?

I have pdfs of all items listed, and have printed out all but Gladiators and Elementalism (which I haven't looked into too closely as they don't appeal to me personally). From what I can tell the only noticeable difference between black cover and "revised" is the cover and a watermark on the pages of the black cover version. Vikings, Pirates, and Samurai are all good and useful guides to their respective settings. Arms is good and useful, mostly for things that weren't included in Mythras core (I give precedence to Mythras over Arms when they conflict). Also I really like how Alchemy is presented in this book. Monsters is also good and useful, has some things that Mythras lacks, and stats some monsters differently. Blood Magic is good, I like it and draw from it when appropriate. As for balance, it fits within the wide, GM-adjusted parameters of magic in Mythras. Note a human's Base Move in Legend is 8, in Mythras it is 6.

Is has there been a published scenario that approximates the Evil Dead movie? I know of one where the investigators have to excorcise a creature summoned decades earlier at a remote cabin, but that's all that comes to mind.

The second edition of Cthulhu by Gaslight (corresponding to CoC 6E)

I'm preparing to run the Gaslight scenario "The Burnt Man" next weekend, anyone else run it, have any suggestions, or resources I should avail myself of? Thanks

I think adjusting the difficulty level according to the difference in Damage Modifiers, as is done in grappling, would work well, taking into account the size and strength of the characters involved.

I've thought about running the Call of Cthulhu scenario "The Haunting" as teenagers daring themselves to stay in a haunted house, with the week leading up to the big weekend as the time that can be used to investigate.

I think it's a little odd in Mythras that Size is a function of height, but only for PCs. So I redefined it in my game to be a universal measure of mass. Size A character's Size rating is a function of his body mass. At character creation the player may choose his character's Size rating, and being either larger or smaller has different benefits and hindrances. A human character's Strength rating cannot exceed his Size rating by more than 3 points. Size, Strength and Feats of Agility - A character's Size can affect his ability to perform feats of athleticism (such as climbing, jumping and running) and acrobatics (like gymnastics and tumbling). For every 3 points a character's Size exceeds his Strength, the difficulty of skill tests requiring bodily agility made one grade harder. If the character's Strength is greater than his Size, such difficulties are one grade easier. Size.....Weight 1.........up to 10 lbs 2.........11 - 20 lbs 3.........21 - 30 lbs 4.........31 - 40 lbs 5.........41 - 50 lbs 6.........51 - 65 lbs 7.........66 - 80 lbs 8.........81 - 95 lbs 9.........96 - 110 lbs 10.......111 - 125 lbs 11.......126 - 140 lbs 12.......142 - 155 lbs 13.......156 - 170 lbs 14.......171 - 190 lbs 15.......191 - 210 lbs 16.......211 - 240 lbs 17.......241 - 270 lbs 18.......271 - 300 lbs 19.......301 - 340 lbs 20.......341 - 380 lbs 21.......381 - 420 lbs 22.......421 - 460 lbs 23.......461 - 500 lbs 24.......501 - 550 lbs 25.......551 - 600 lbs

I have a supplement for Mythras on this very topic that I need to complete. I'll try to get it uploaded before the end of the month.

The old version was alright, but the updated version is very good. 2nd Edition (cover - hooded guy driving cart in front of Big Ben). 140 pages, 1 adventure in the back, lots of Sherlock Holmes. 3rd Edition (cover - a bobby discovers a mi-go in dark alley over dead body). 195 pages, 2 adventures, less Sherlock Holmes
