Call of Cthulhu did have a pretty good system, years ahead of its time.
The skills were particularly imaginative, particularly the Ideas skill:
if your player had a good idea, they had to make an Idea roll to see if
their character would also think of the same thing. A good way of
distancing the player from the character he plays.
