I thought Ben Chapman already did an excellent job of reviewing Tatters of the King using the Call of Cthulhu rules. I wanted to contribute what I did with the book.
I like to think that quality content comes across in a book regardless of the numbers behind it -- in this case Tatters of the King most certainly achieved that. Conversely, it provides an interesting look at the book stripped of much of its conventions. This is pretty much the entire reason I have a large GURPS collection but don't play GURPS.
But by all means, read Ben's review. It will certainly address your "real concerns."
