The Keeper has this to say:

"Now - if your character is Trail of Cthulhu - or regular CoC or even GURPS CoC - you will roll your dice according to that system. I know all these systems well and can run a game with characters in various systems. Been there, done that."

So - TOC, Gurps and CoC (of course) are allowed.

I've ran these types of games myself - they play very well. If you (The GM) have experience with all of the different systems allowed.
