I'll have to agree with Sardan and say that anything that generates interest in CoC/DG or even RPGing at all is a good thing these days. For the fact that I don't like levels, I'll stay away from D20, but if D20 proves to be a vehicle for new CoC/DG info, I'm all for it... I like the simplcity of BRP, but I don't like the character generation sytem. For that I prefer GURPS. I feel that GURPS has the most accurate and realistic means for creating any type of character... for actual play, I feel: whatever works best for the Keeper and the players, (I used the D6 (Traveller) format for years)... I've been gaming since 1980 and I'm from the "no rules, just guidelines" school... I'm all for realism, but not at the cost of playability... We live in tough times for gamers... D&D started it all and now we're left with, what? D20, BRP and GURPS? maybe a couple of other systems still selling? it's sad but true... people vote with their money... if D20 is the only way to keep the others propped, then that's what we have to live with until enough people will buy products from Pagan and others to justify the creation of more great games like DG... alright I'll stop...

RisusUm... I did have something to post here about WFRP being a great system and yet being out of print despite a huge fan base. Then I realised that I only like the system because I've changed it so much it resembles nothing in particular now. Oh well. Long live BRPS. And the Critical Miss BURPS (Banally Unimaginitive Role Playing System)

Alright, I'll chime in...
As it stands right now, I do not own the Delta Green Source book. I've had to get by on other (in print) materials and the kindness of agents on the web. So to me, it doesn't really matter--it is dual stat after all.
Also, right now I'm far more prepared to play a CoC D20 campaign than a BRP one. It's been years since I played by BRP rules and I loaned my CoC BRP 4th (?) edition rules to someone last year and have yet to get them back (DAMN HIM).
Now, I'll take my CoC abnyway I can get it these days, but I'd be hard pressed to resume my Keeper status in BRP rules right now.
Finally, the system only matters so much to me in the end. D20 is not that bad in either a modern or fantasy context. I really believe that many people get hung up on an inability to check their notions about the D20 system at the door.

That said: can anyone tell me when these new books are going to get back from China!?
