 Keepers and investigators expecting hack-and-slash combat from a D20 version of Call of Cthulhu may be surprised at how little combat can be found in the two scenarios included in this book.

-In 2001, a stand-alone version of ''Call of Cthulhu'' was released by [[Wizards of the Coast]], for the [[d20 system]]. Intended to preserve the feeling of the original game, the conversion of the game rules were supposed to make the game "easier to play", at least for players already familiar with the d20 system (users already familiar with the traditional "[[BRP]]" version of the game may be skeptical of this claim, especially regarding players new to role-playing games). The d20 system also made it possible to use [[Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]] fantasy role-playing characters and content in ''Call of Cthulhu'', as well as to introduce the Cthulhu Mythos into ''Dungeons & Dragons'' games (especially since many of the monsters and other content are thematically appropriate to either game).  The d20 version of the game is not supported by either Wizards or Chaosium at this time.  The reasons for this are unclear, though lack of revenue might be a cause.

		+	D20 Call of Cthulhu differentiates itself from the traditional BRP game by focusing more on modern and pulp settings, and aiming for more of a cinematic quality with the use of "whammies" (little hallucinatory flashes of horror) in at least one scenario (reminiscent of psychic visions, dream sequences, and hallucinations seen in a number of horror films like ''The Shining'' or ''Poltergeist''), and a number of plot hooks and story seeds pointing toward classic horror and horror/sci-fi films (such as ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers'', ''The Thing'', ''Alien'').
