I know when I played all of my feats went into various skill emphasis or improved save types since that was what the core of the game was played with. While in DnD that was often considered a "waste" of a feat I always found it worthwhile in CoC. It limited my options but I still found them useful. It'll be interesting to see what Shadows of Cthulhu has brought to the plate in that respect. I must agree that in CoC d20 there was definitely a lack of quality feats.

The character backgrounds that they've added in to True20 are really inspiring, interesting, and I think add a lot to the character and gameplay that will result from them. Hopefully we get to play this sooner rather than later. I have to say that reading through this PDF definitely got me excited to play an investigator WAY more than any other Cthulhu RPG has before.

Now I just need to convince some victims, err, players to give it a try. Maybe even try out the story I framed up that'll be linked in the CommentLuv. <abbr><em>Mad Brew´s last post: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Madbrewlabs/~3/460668181/" rel="nofollow">Tidings of Thule</a></em></abbr> I JUST recently (two days ago) read the majority of the Shadows of Cthulhu book, and it definitely kick-started my CoC crave again.

It happened years ago, but it is always the one I bring up in conversations about past campaigns. I really enjoyed how most of the rules meshed with how a CoC game is run. "My name is Julius Sumner Miller, and physics is my business." My favorite campaign of all time was also a d20 Call of Cthulhu game.
