Talk:Cthulhu Mythos

I think Joshi's name is being bandied about in a way I think he wouldn't be entirely comfortable with.

In the biography, Joshi is rather scathing about the term 'Cthulhu mythos'. I don't think the 'Lovecraft mythos' reference is too contentious, but I think Joshi would contrast this with the 'Delerth mythos'. I think any considerations of 'pantheons' and suchlike belong more strongly in the Delerth camp, rather than anything that should be attributed to Lovecraft himself.

I'd like to propose moving the 'Delerth involvement' a bit further up the page and getting said discussion out of the way, before launching into discussions of the Cthulhu mythos. We should also think about making the distinction between the mythos in fiction (a bit of a vague concept) and the mythos in the game (a much more concrete, codified thing). --Theshoveller 15:13, 17 January 2006 (EST)
