Description             : After three successful(ish) endeavours and a year
                          of slow-cooking, the MAYhem crew is back with 34
                          more maps made in May! This time, it's a very
                          gothic edition of MAYhem where we decided to
                          restrict every level to exactly 1,500 lines. These
                          maps may be black like our souls, but we hope this
                          WAD brings joy and laughter to those who play it!

This PWAD contains select texture(s) and flat(s) that can originally be found
in GothicDM or Gothic2. Credit and thanks go out to the artist(s) of said
flat(s) and texture(s) and also to the rest of the Gothic Crew (1997/98). The
ORIGINAL GothicDM(2).ZIP can be found at CDROM.COM. Each said PKZIP archive
contains thirty-two professional quality levels and music.

(Replace "cdrom.com" above with the current central mirror, because you have
to include the above text verbatim to use the Gothic textures, but nobody in
the Gothic Crew foresaw the idgames archive having to move servers just two
years after the texture pack was released. Blame them, not us!)
