Every game system is written to promote a style of play. And that style of play, whether consciously or unconsciously, is written with ideas about life in mind.

Dungeons & Dragons, for example, is a game of heroic self-improvement. Characters gain experience, becoming stronger, smarter, more handsome, richer, and acquire magic and special abilities. A character that persists over time, and her improvement, is one of the defining characteristics of a role-playing game.

However, it is also exactly the reverse of what we experience in life.

We do not get stronger, better, and more handsome as we age. Rather, we get flabby and sick, then die. D&D functions as an escape from that reality, and as such is wildly popular.

Call of Cthulhu functions contrariwise.

In Cthulhu, spellbooks drive you insane. Practicing magic results in horrors. And if you engage in straight up combat with the game’s monstrosities, the coroner will be lucky to find enough teeth to identify your ragged remains. It is a game where in all the ways that matter, your character gets worse over time, until her skin is sloughed off by some nickering abomination.

That, my friends, is life... and speaking of life!
