Chaosium只有“call of cthulhu”在游戏方面的版权。爱手艺本人作品的版权现在已经很模糊了。爱手艺的后人没有在时限内续版权,所以按理说已经开放了。但是德雷斯死后,他的律师宣称版权是德雷斯的。但是也没见过他告过谁。
Q: Isn’t H.P. Lovecraft/Cthulhu Mythos in the public domain?A: Not all aspects of H.P. Lovecraft’s work or the Cthulhu Mythos are in the public domain. Although H.P. Lovecraft was the originator of the Mythos, he generously collaborated with a wide circle of writers, and since his death others have continued to contribute to its ongoing creation. Included in this group are such names as August Derleth, Robert Bloch, Clark Ashton Smith, Brian Lumley, Ramsey Campbell, Sandy Petersen, and Chaosium itself, among others.A: So you're not trying to claim you "own" the Mythos?A: We make no claim that we "own" the Mythos, never have. Because HPL died over 70 years ago, his individual writings are now in the public domain, but the Mythos was/is a shared creation—even in HPL's lifetime ("the Lovecraft Circle"). Many of the writers HPL collaborated with lived on much later into the 20th century, e.g. Clarke Ashton Smith (d.1961), August Derleth (d.1971), Robert Bloch (d.1994), etc. Certain elements of the Mythos are theirs, or have been created by still-living authors including Brian Lumley, Ramsey Campbell and indeed Chaosium's Sandy Petersen. What these writers created in the Mythos won't enter the public domain until they have been dead for 70 years (or in Sandy's case, maybe never, because he is clearly an Immortal Being). We don't claim to own the Mythos in general (although certain elements of it are Chaosium IP), but we do own the Call of Cthulhu RPG, and and are obliged to protect it.
