What makes this game different?

This, coupled with the closeness to CoC, means I'm now incredibly happy because I can now write some modern horror stuff that CoC players could adapt pretty easily and not get in trouble with Chaosium...

I was doing some research the other night, and the entire Sanity chapter (System? Section?) from D&D's Unearthed Arcana is Open Content.

Sanity in Unearthed Arcana was modeled upon that found in the d20 version of Call of Cthulhu. Which, of course, was pretty much exactly what was found in BRP Call of Cthulhu.

So, through the magic of the Open Gaming License and Open Content, one could use the RuneQuest SRD and the Sanity rules from Unearthed Arcana to make a horror roleplaying game VERY MUCH like BRP Call of Cthulhu.

:shock:

Then I am definetly sold. Me and some buds were looking for a new system to run at our next local on, and it looks like Runequest is the winner. This is gonna be fun!
