I found this 2006 free RPG system in a pretty random way (I was half-bored so I decided that I would google the name of the illustrator of Greater Werewolf (http://magiccards.info/5e/en/28.html), a pretty random old card from mtg - yes, I do this kind of random stuff - and turned out that he's a game designer with a fairly robust portfolio).
Coincidentally, I've been reading HP Lovecraft stories recently, so I got interested in it.
I haven't read all the details in the book, but it seems to be a decent game. I dislike the Storyteller-esque use of a thousand d10s, but at least the frequency of rolls is supposed to be even lower. Seems to me like a good reincarnation of the now-old Call of Cthulhu RPG, since the D20 Call of Cthulhu honestly didn't appeal to me.
Anyone tried this out already? Any impressions to share?
