Newbie here. Is there a wiki or PDF somewhere going through the various aspects of the CoC7e Ruleset?

Welcome BrentCaldwell
No not really. There is a link in the setup menu on character creation.
There are some short videos here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhF1...63hhpqKv42QD9p and one on chases here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV8LQ33V_0c&t=3s
Holler if you need help.

Why is there no equipment to drag n drop? Or am I missing something?

most of the equipment in the reference manual is generic and is there to provide inspiration.
equipment has no mechanical value and most doesnt even have a set price.
you can download a module from here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...Modules-for-7E
with the equipment if you want to use the equipment as is from the rulebook

Modifications (Mods) behave incorrectly
Hi,
I discovered an error (or so I think) in how modds affect the outcome of dice rolls. If I create a Mod called "Prone" and give it a mod of -10 and use it, -10 is added to the modifier stack (which is correct). I then roll a skill, Brawl for example. The die roll result is then modified by -10, so that for example a roll of 40 + 1 becomes 31. That is, the die result is modified. That is not how a modification is supposed to work in Basic Roleplaying or any other set of rules derived from Basic Roleplaying (such as Call of Cthuhlu). The mod should lower the target number, i.e the skill level. The chance of fumbles should go up and the chance of specials and crits should go down. All BRP derived rulesets have the same problem, CoC6, Coc7 and BRP. I post this in this forum because CoC7 has the most players so it will affect more gaming groups. A solution to the problem ought to be able to be ported to CoC6 and BRP quite easily (I hope).

Hi peterb
See p128 of the rulebook -
Prone
A prone character is assumed to be lying flat on the ground.
* Kicking someone when they are down is easier; fighting attacks made against a prone character gain one bonus die.
* A character that is prone may stand up when they successfully dodge or fight back against an opponent. Alternatively, when it comes to their turn in the round, they may stand up and then take their action.
* Lying down provides a stable position from which to shoot; a prone character gets one bonus die when making a Firearms roll.
* By lying flat on the floor you present a smaller target; those targeting a prone character with a firearm get one penalty die (ignore this if at point blank-range).
Also BRP and CoC do not use the same codebase...
