New to CoC

[NYCTom]

Thanks so much guys!

Looking into gaming groups right now. Based on the advice, here's what I'm doing

1.) Going to GenCon
2.) Enrolling into a CoC 6th Ed game, Arkham Horror BG, and a Delta Green Game while there
3.) Going to pester Kennith Hite on what is the deal with Trail of Cthulhu
4.) Finding a NYC gaming group

Welcome aboard, NYCTom. I'll reinforce what Howard said by encouraging you to listen to a good chunk of the many high quality actual play sessions available online -- particularly those from the MU Podcast team, the Skype of Cthulhu group, or the good folks over at yog-sothoth.com (YSDC). Not only are those actual play sessions highly entertaining, but they're an excellent way to get one's feet wet with the BRP-based rules system. You'll also be able to get a sampling of multiple play styles and time period settings ranging from the ancient world to futuristic/sci-fi environments and everything in between.
