Goth: The Corruption was written by Joe Borelli (Creature) and Chris Reynolds (Raven).
We reserve all rights to the actual material, you can use the information on this website to create your own games/worlds/dimensions/whatever.
Fast forward to now. It's spring break and my friends have kindly decided to fuck off and leave me with a lot of free time. I rediscovered my print-out of the game and, having nothing better to do, decided to try and rewrite it.
So, here you go. Many thanks to Jennie Kermode for giving me something to play with.

First off, if you don't know what Goth is, I'm not going to tell you because, honestly, there is no hard definition for what the mentality or the lifestyle is. It's different for each person. So before you play sit down and think about what parts you don't agree with and change it. I know enough about Goth and role playing games to try and take a swing at this, but I won't pretend to be an expert.
Anyway, this game is about Goths, (in case you couldn't figure that out.) the lifestyle and the forces that oppose them. It's about trying to hold on to what you are. It's about sitting your friends down one perfectly good day to roll dice and suck up pizza like they're going to ban it. Role playing, to the uninitiated, is where you create a character and interact in a fictional world created by one player, from here on out referred to as the Ubergoth. The Ubergoth tells the players what they see, smell, taste, and touch and the rest of the group reacts to the setting.
There is no winning and losing, though admittedly letting the evil occultists destroy the world tends to the lean toward the latter. The game is about getting into the character and challenging the world to stay alive.
Note: Let it be known that the storytelling player(s) will hereupon be known as Ubergoths. Thank you, I just needed to get that out of my system.
Two fonts that I used to create some of the graphics and logos are available for download right here. Both are in .zip format, so you need WinZip or some other zip program to open them.

There is a Goth: The Corruption mailing list. Okay, well, it's not solely for and about the game, in fact if I say that I'd be pulling my own chain, I don't expect it to be about the game, but it is run by me. So you can subscribe here.
