With countless years of dedicated role-playing experience between them, the Twisted Chronicles LLC team, consisting of company owners and creators Christopher Davies and Max Lopez, are preparing to unleash a whole new world of Vampirism, terror and intrigue, in the form of Gothic Society.
Our passion for creativity, understanding of popular role-playing culture and dynamics, and shared vision, has spawned a more user friendly system, as opposed to the laborious dice rolling nature of some other games currently on the market, that allows player to build there system the way they want it with a number of modifiers that can be used or removed.
Who is more qualified to create a player friendly gaming system, than a team who have themselves experienced the frustration of labour intensive, statistic heavy gaming and understand that this is not the true essence of role-playing. What sets Gothic Society apart, is that its creators and writers are not only truly ardent sculptors of language, but are long time, avid role-players.
With foundations in both the United Kingdom and the United States of America, Twisted Chronicles LLC has since its 2003 inception been dedicating money, time and energy into the development of an original and captivating concept that offers an enthralling and intensive gaming experience.
Along with both Twisted Chronicles LLC and Gothic Society merchandise now available at our online store, Twisted Chronicles LLC is proud to open Discordium, the official Gothic Society Online Game.
What Is Gothic Society™
The world of Gothic Society is a world of gothic horror and suspense where humanity has been taken over by legendary monsters and human beings have become little more than food and resource to them. You play a young Vampyre cast into the shadows of humanity’s nightmares and you choose how your character will react to the world before him. There are unlimited possibilities that your character can be exposed to in the world and a wide variety of dangers he may experience.
The world has been thrust into a new era of horror where the oldest Vampyre known to exist Lucifer, the first born of Satan, has managed to take over the world. He has fastened his own personal kingdom with humanity enslaved at his feet. There has been no one to challenge his strength and power until recently with the awakening of his half sister Asmodeus, the third born child of Satan. Asmodeus has risen to challenge the rule of Luciferus, not for the sake of humanity, but to quench her own thirst for power. A blood war wages between the two oldest Vampyre’s and all are caught in its wake.
You must choose to support the loyalists of Luciferus, the free brotherhood of Asmodeus, or to serve your own personal goals of power and wealth swearing loyalty only to yourself. In Gothic Society Vampyres are long descended children of Satan, the abominable child of Lucifer the Morning Star and Lilith the first wife of Adam. Demons in the form of man with an undying thirst for human blood they have managed to free themselves from their fears of humanity and brought the world to its knees.
They are but a twisted offspring cursed by sin passed down to each of them by their parents through the bloodlines. Pride, Greed, Lust, Wrath, Gluttony, Envy and Sloth are each given life and legend by the birth of these monsters.
Vampyre Dark Genesis - A Gothic Society Source Book
The book consists of many chapters and stories to help you understand not only the game of Gothic Society, from creating a character to using the Twisted Chronicles game system, but to understand the fictional world of Vampyre rulers and human rebellions. There is no chapter in this book that should ever be considered more important than your own imagination. This book is a guide and resource to your own desires and not a replacement for your own creativity.
Every chapter in the book is aimed at enforcing creativity and a sense of gothic horror. This book should not be used as a reference tool to explain the true existence of Vampyres, nor should it be used to strengthen any religious or political views of the modern world.
The book is made to play a game, and is nothing more than a fictional role-play book. That being said, there will be some information and stories that will be seen as graphic and include adult content. Strong sexual interpretations and shocking visions of torture, mayhem and murder will be described. It is urged the readers understand
nothing written in the book should be taken as the desire, will or want of any Twisted Chronicles employee for the immediate future or welfare for any human life. Twisted Chronicles takes pride in being a company of human beings and hopes that we all remain free people and not under the rule of any supernatural creatures
enslaved for eternity.

Many of the core themes of Gothic Society® deal with personal horror, evil acts against people, racism, sexuality, violence and exaggerated beliefs.
It’s the responsibility of the reader to be aware of this and to approach the game with a sense of maturity and responsibility. Please understand, nothing within this game is real, or represents the personal beliefs or ideals of Twisted Chronicles or its staff. This site is for entertainment only.
