Rating:  - the horror! the horror!
Great game, both for the roleplayer and the sadistic GM's (I'm both, so I read this book with unending plesure).
Rating:  - Great!
I will be a first time GM, and I've heard that CoC is not a game for beginners GMs, despite that warning, I found the book clear and easy to understand. I look forward to my first game, if I can ever get my gaming group to meet at the same time.
Rating: - Excelent Game
I am a newbie in RPG games but I have to say that CoC is definitely one of my favorites. I am browsing thru the manual in my spare time (very lil) and I am definitely looking forward to run an adventure. The manual is well written, informative and quite complete. Sometimes its structure might be not perfect but it does the job and really provides anyhting you might need.

Rating: - Maybe the Best RPG out there these days
If you want fancy books, this isn't it. In fact, this isn't as nicely done as prior additions. BUT...
As a game, CofC is even more attractive to me than ever. With the d20 system taken over by endless amounts of crap, a simple, easy to play, easy to understand, very straightforward system that LETS YOU ROLE PLAY and develop a story is very welcome. The updated version does actually very little other than tweak a few bits and add a bit more source material, so you dont need to feel like you have ... Read More
