As to my comments about the book, I hope they have great success and
that the book is interesting. I hope that it brings more people into
the fold. I don't plan on using it, though, because the current Cthulhu
rules work great.

I believe if all the large companies should get in on d20, with their
own settings, it will more than likely, expand their market.
Previously, I wasn't considering getting any of the other systems,
simply because I (and my players) wouldn't want to learn a completly new
set of rules (or else I'd have to do some big conversions) to play in
that setting.
I think Dragon Ball Z and the Pokemon card game is the only thing beyond
(A)D&D that my group would try, and is mainly due to the TV shows. Of
course, I don't play, cause I'm not interested in either game.
I never thought I'd buy anything from WW, but with the Creature
Collection, I got it, and liked it. I was considering getting CoC (to
the point where I had my Credit Card ready and was at their website),
but because it uses a different system, and I'd be spending the time to
learn the system (which I never seem to have), I didn't bother. Now
that a D20 CoC will be coming out, and I understand the basic system
already, it is very much easier to get into the setting.
Right now, I can say without a doubt that I'd be more inclined to
purchase a D20 version of any companies setting, than I would be to get
their original setting with their own system. Although I never really
thought about playing Star Wars, I'd be more likely to pick up WotC's
StarWars than WEG's Star Wars.
In conclusion, I feel that a company that doesn't produce some d20
products for their own settings, will be missing out. If/once I get the
D20 CoC book (undecided but am considering it), I might be more inclined
to buy some of Chaosium's older setting material to learn more about the
Cthulhu mythos.
