VanishedOne recommends The World of Darkness by Bill Bridges, "On the fairly obvious principle that they're horror-themed tabletop RPG sourcebooks."

Really very good in most respects. The only drawback to this book is that the amount of work and detail put into d20 character creation (as well as the system's emphasis on level advancement) make it less compatible with the high rate of character insanity and death that is traditional in the standard Call of Cthulhu game. Still, if you like the setting but want to hang on to your character for more than one session, this can be the perfect alternative. (

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0786926392, Hardcover)

The long-awaited d20 adaptation of Call of Cthulhu in one all inclusive rulebook.

Since the early 1900's, H.P. Lovecraft has been considered one of the top writers in the entire horror genre. Elements of his work have appeared over the years in numerous horror arenas, but now roleplayers can delve into a campaign centered around the author's popular Cthulhu Mythos. The Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game contains everything needed to play or narrate a roleplaying campaign, including all core-game rules for the d20 game system.
