I knew it!  I could smell the Deep Ones on you!   Nice rules set 'Cthullhu. (I really only know the box and book, 30s setting, from the 80s)

I've never played any mech games.  Sounds like quite an intense mixture of systems you play.  

I'd be especially intrigued as to how the Kingmaker style/WHFRP game pans out.  I used to be a very one-character-"immersion" player and DM, I usually fudged grander events or wars and shyed away from province management.  The idea of settling down a character in, for example D&D, building a castle, paying taxes and servants and so on, struck me as an apt and poetic retirement and not really the gritty minute by minute heroic events of a brutal dungeon delve.  However, now I'm older, I think have a better grasp on "the big picture" of fantasy worlds, so perhaps I should explore these aspects of gaming more.   Looking back at good old Traveller recently, it's pretty clear that many games old and new are quite happy to jump from PC personal experience to broader events (interstellar  even!).  

(I'm rubbish at Civ - I don't last long in RTS games, I barely advance tech levels in Age of Empires - Axes?! When did that tribe find the time and money to develop axes!?  Nukes?  Oh bugger ...)
