I will admit to having bought a lot of Call of Cthulhu manuals over the years, without ever running CoC. Or playing in it other than a demo game at a convention when it first came out (with a lot of other Lovecraft fans... it got... interesting - and it's the only game I've ever been in where I got to have my character scream and run out into the night.) I did find some of it useful in the pulp adventure game I ran way back when. And the compendium based on Mountains of Madness was fun. I did actually do an expedition based on At The Mountains of Madness, but it was based purely on the novel, long before I got that supplement. Which is just as well since I took rather a different direction.
As for characters, I was making them up long before D&D came along. It was fun having something for them to actually DO, other than try to survive my rather erratic plotting skills.
