Cthulhu 500 Racing Card Game Revs Up For Action

Posted by simoniker on from the unspeakable-nascar-evil dept.

Thanks to OgreCave for pointing to a Yog Sothoth story discussing the announcement of the Cthulhu 500 card game, which is billed as "a racing [card] game with a [Cthulhu] Mythos theme." According to the president of the creators, Atlas Games: "Each player chooses a car for the race, and as the game goes on can to pick up special drivers/pit crew (such as 'The Fungi from Detroit'), and car enhancements (such as 'Rats in the Whitewalls'). And, you know, summon Elder Gods to step on your opponents' cars, and the like."

    good question, but Bethesda is working on a game as well, so I'd guess its probably open to public domain since neither tried to get exclusive rights on games derived from the Cthulhu mythos

    Call of Cthulhu

    AFAIK it is public domain, but you may run into some problems, because a lot of people have expanded the mythos, so probably it is not everything on the public domain.

    On the other hand, Superman and Mickey Mouse will be copyrighted as long as their parent compnaies have money.
