Nice announcement, but Fuzion is quite meh for newbies :/
They should have homemade something really really easy to play, like using 2d6.
Everybody can read 2d6. Everybody have d6 at home.
Fuzion is the only thing that I dislike in CP rpg. I can't stand Basic too, but for Cthulhu... I can't stand d20 aswell. I really dislike those oldies.
My prefered systems in err 26 year of PnP rpg is a french generic one called SimulacreS, which stopped to be distributed in something like 96.
In its most basic form, it was compact (character creation is 3 minutes if you're trained - 15 if not) and maybe the most realistic system I've ever seen... Really magnificient gem of a system.
15 minutes character creation means you can kill your character and go back in the same session. That is great. Combat is epic if the GM wants it to be ("Epic" means nothing, really. Just implement a "life" system like a 3-life system in a video game, allow exploits and you've got your epicness) or really realistic (guns kills). Realistics systems are nice in gritty universes, like Cthuhu for exemple. "Epic Cthulhu" woud be stupid.
