  • Just to add to that answer, I’d the biggest difference is the grim powerlessness. The players can barely delay the inevitable and most will probably die in the process.

    There are way more skills aimed at investigations, and the goal are often more aimed towards a McGuffin that solves the issues, or sometimes the goal is simply to just be able to leave in one piece and hope someone else cleans the mess 😅. (There’s actually a fan story adapted into a RPG called « Delta Green » where you play a secret military tasked with dealing with mythos threats)

    As D&D is the epic hero’s journey where Gandalf saves everyone at the last minute, CoC is the horror thriller where the protagonist dies, only a rando side character survives and walks off screen as the dead monster opens its eyes again just before cutting to black.

    « I give it negative points because there is no office suite included » Dude… really? …

  • In Vampire: The Masquerade, it’s considered one of the most taboo act as you literally take in the life force and soul of that other vampire.

    But it’s an alluring concept as it can make the aggressor more powerful (at the cost of some humanity… it’s cannibalism after all) AND the victim vampire is utterly destroyed (so one of the permanent ways to take out an adversary)
