the one that strikes me as most relavent is WW's "Vampire the
Masquerade"
(though there are others... at the ripe old age of 10 or so I bought the
"Dieties and Demigods" book. It had the Chuthulu mythos in it. I was
intrigued.I learned more. I was hooked. I never had a chance against
such a powerful "ideosphere" the Great Old Ones? come on...)
These guys have singlehanded taught a modern mythology to a new
generation when society was unwilling to do so. and I for one really
don't like their politics. but I admire their ability to do so...
when you were 10 did you know the meaning of the word "obteneration"?
how about "auspex"?
(o'course I was busy wondering about the source of "Aboth the fountain
of uncleanliness" to worry about big words)

club going people who would never have picked up dice and whacked a

she read Anne Rice, and thinks vampires are cool. AND THEY USE THEM IN
PROPER WHITE WOLF tm. CONTEXT.
a (sometimes) very different context than I would use them to describe
"Reality".
Any Goths in the mailing list wanna have a crack at this?
