Every time you adapt a literary character, you create a new version of that character. There are lots of different Draculas, lots of different Frankensteins, lots of different Sherlock Holmes, and not quite as many different Cthulhus. The Cthulhu in D&D isn't the same as the Cthulhu in Call of Cthulhu, isn't the same as the Cthulhu in Underwater, etc. And since the character is fictional there is no true version of that character.Some people tend to treat the original version of a character with greater reverence than any adaptation, but in this case, there is no reverence for HPL. As pointed out elsewhere, this author is well and truly dead, leaving people feeling free to do whatever they like with his characters.This isn't a Mythos book. It includes some mythos creatures to accompany one new domain - presumably R'lyeh. It will no doubt have several other new domains, featuring different horror subgenres*. It's not going to include the entire pantheon of Elder Gods, just the one mentioned in the PHB, and the useful monsters.Note, Bluetspur is basically an X-Files domain, not a mythos domain, and was described in VGR. It's unlikely to be revisited in this new book.*I would guess things that haven't really been done much previously - a Stephen King domain and a Slasher domain perhaps.Rumours that Winnie the Pooh is the dark lord are greatly exaggerated - or are they....</blockquote>
