Short answer, no you don’t have to give up your rights and IP to get a game published. The publisher may try to get all the rights to all your characters, scenarios etc, but it’s not required for a deal. To publish a game they just have to license it from you, they don’t need to get any more rights than that. They might try to get everything, but that’s another matter 
HTH.
I would very strongly recommend reading all of the articles in the developer section of dexterity.com (http://www.dexterity.com/articles/).
If you only have time to read one of them, read this one
None of these are about programming, they are about everything else that we programmers tend to ignore.
I found a lot of good info in these articles.
