Vampire: the Masquerade - Twin Cities by Night "Eidolon" The Final Prelude: Rita’s Claim Mar 20, 2020

Show notes

In Rita’s Claim, the second prelude of Eidolon, we follow Marco Giovanni as his path through privilege, family duty, and hidden desire brings him closer to the dark inheritance waiting beneath the surface of his life. The episode traces Marco’s formative years — from the academic halls of Harvard to the social and financial networks of Boston’s elite — where his loyalty to the Giovanni family begins to crystallize into something both sacred and suffocating.

What begins as a story of ambition and belonging slowly bends toward unease, as Marco’s world of order and control reveals something older, colder, and entirely inescapable. Rita’s Claim continues Eidolon’s descent into personal horror — an intimate journey through family, faith, and the seductive pull of power.

About the Chronicle

“Eidolon” is the fourth major arc in the Twin Cities by Night Vampire: the Masquerade continuity — following Negligence, Homecoming, and Dread — yet it also stands alone as an introspective, horror-laced drama.

Set in the fall of 2010, Eidolon explores themes of death, obligation, and the unseen cost of power. The story follows Marco Giovanni, a necromancer drawn into the Twin Cities by the command of an elder, where he must expand his clan’s reach while contending with his own haunted past.

A duet chronicle between Adam (as Marco Giovanni) and Chris (as Storyteller), Eidolon continues Twin Cities by Night’s tradition of exploring the personal horror at the heart of Vampire: the Masquerade — this time, through the eyes of one man bound by ghosts both living and dead.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Twin Cities by Night “Eidolon” Prelude 1: The Fettered Son Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

The Prelude to Eidolon introduces listeners to Marco Giovanni, a Kindred necromancer whose path is shaped by duty, family, and the restless dead. Told as a mix of character creation and narrative storytelling, this opening episode establishes the tone and emotional weight of the chronicle — a deeply personal ghost story about legacy, faith, and the cost of control.

Without revealing the story’s turns, the Prelude invites listeners into a cold autumn in 2010, where Marco’s arrival in the Twin Cities sets the stage for a descent into supernatural intrigue and spiritual torment. By the episode’s end, Marco’s purpose is clear: to serve his family’s ambitions and confront the shadows that cling to his soul.

Rogue Trader “The Hunt for the Lorem Ipsum” The Final Chapter: The Last Turn of the Warp Engine Mar 15, 2020

Show notes

As Lord Horse Fox and his crew seize the Lorem Ipsum at last, victory lasts only a heartbeat. A psychic warning crashes into their minds, announcing Footfall’s sudden descent into chaos—literally. A tear in reality opens over the station, spilling nightmares into realspace while a heretic warlord leads the charge. Forced into a choice between escape and heroism, Fox rallies Sneak and Lady V for one final, desperate push. What follows is a frantic race through collapsing corridors, a brutal clash aboard a corrupted warship, and a narrow sprint back to their own vessel before the warp claims everything. In their hands sits the prize they risked everything for—but leaving alive may be the greatest triumph of all.

About the Chronicle

The Hunt for the Lorem Ipsum is a Rogue Trader actual-play series set in the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. This chronicle follows a fledgling Rogue Trader dynasty as it steps into the perilous freedoms of the Koronus Expanse—where profit, xenos, ruin, and forgotten imperial secrets lurk in every system. Blending high-stakes exploration, political maneuvering, and the unpredictable chaos of deep-void adventure, the series charts the rise (or fall) of a crew determined to carve out their fortune among the stars.

Delta Green "Operation BIG STICK" The Final Chapter: What the Forest Keeps Mar 13, 2020

Show notes

As night falls over the abandoned mine, Paul finds himself lost in the Pennsylvania woods—and in his own missing time. With reality slipping and strange gaps in his memory widening, he’s forced to choose between protecting his family, uncovering the truth behind the “stickman,” and living with the cost of whatever really happened in the dark.

About the Chronicle

Delta Green: Operation Big Stick is a modern-day horror investigation that follows a hastily assembled team tasked with responding to a developing threat on U.S. soil. As the operation unfolds, the agents must navigate secrecy, mistrust, and the quiet terror that comes with realizing your assignment may not be survivable. This chronicle blends procedural tension with creeping dread, delivering classic Delta Green atmosphere: bureaucratic pressure, frayed nerves, and a mission where the truth is revealed only when it’s too late to turn back.

Delta Green "Operation BIG STICK" Chapter 2: The Trail Into Big Skip Mine Mar 11, 2020

Show notes

Paul’s search leads him deep into the Pennsylvania woods, following a half-forgotten path toward the abandoned Big Skip Mine. What starts as a simple drive out of town quickly shifts into an uneasy trek through isolated forestland, where the quiet feels wrong and the mine’s surroundings show signs of recent—and unexpected—activity. As Paul moves closer to the site, he begins to realize he isn’t the only one out here, and the situation may be far stranger than the job he thought he signed up for.

Delta Green "Operation BIG STICK" Chapter 1: he Briefing at SSG Greeley Mar 08, 2020

Show notes

A routine day becomes anything but when a group of federal agents, specialists, and support personnel are quietly assembled at the SSG Greeley Armory for an off-the-books assignment. With the clock ticking and the details scarce, the team is handed a classified directive known only as Operation Big Stick. What begins as a standard briefing quickly reveals layers of unease, conflicting agendas, and a mission that feels intentionally under-explained. As the team prepares to deploy, one thing becomes clear—whatever they’re being sent to deal with, it isn’t normal, and no one in the room is ready for what comes next.

Rogue Trader “The Hunt for the Lorem Ipsum” Chapter 2: Schemes in the Shadow of Footfall Mar 04, 2020

Show notes

As the hunt for the Lorem Ipsum continues, Lord Hor Fox turns to an old underworld contact on Footfall, trading wagers and veiled threats for forbidden intelligence. Over drinks and doubletalk, the crew learns where the mysterious auction will be held, who the rival Rogue Traders are, and just how ugly things could get if any of them feel cheated. Back aboard their ship, Fox, Lady Faza Ilia Zeostroya, and Sneak Geta set a ruthless plan in motion—reprogrammed prisoners, bomb collars, and a manufactured feud meant to send rival dynasties at each other’s throats while they slip away for the real prize. Their path leads to a hidden vault adrift in the void, where creeping unease, patrolling servitors, and a spectacularly messy firefight remind them that even the best-laid schemes in the Expanse are always one misstep away from disaster.

Rogue Trader "The Hunt for the Lorem Ipsum" Chapter 1: Into the Void Mar 01, 2020

Show notes

A newly inherited Warrant of Trade thrusts an unlikely crew into the cold expanse beyond the Imperium’s borders. Tasked with tracking down a long-vanished ship known only as the Lorem Ipsum, the Rogue Trader and their retinue set course for a star system whispered about in fragmented logs and half-forgotten charts. What begins as a routine expedition quickly reveals hints of danger—abandoned transmissions, contradictory astropathic signals, and the unsettling sense that someone, or something, reached the wreck before they did. As the crew prepares to make planetfall, uneasy alliances and the vast, uncaring void remind them that fortune always demands a price.

Scion “The Valley of the Setting Sun” Chapter 6: Song of the Knife Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

What was supposed to be a controlled exchange in the storm drains turns into chaos when the strange dagger’s whisper turns ally against ally and the band’s careful plans fracture under pressure. As bullets, blades, and frost fly in the dark, the briefcase at the center of it all slips further from their control—and a familiar divine face appears at the worst possible moment, leaving them unsure who, if anyone, they can still trust. When the dust settles, the heroes are left with strained loyalties, a heavy cost on their conscience, and the unnerving realization that they’ve been pieces on someone else’s board all along.

About the Chronicle

The Valley of the Setting Sun is a Scion Second Edition chronicle set in modern-day Phoenix, where divine power sleeps just beneath the heat-hazed pavement. The campaign follows a band of Scions as they awaken to their true heritage, receive their Visitations, and step into a world woven with prophecy, danger, and the weight of mythic legacy. Each prelude explores a different character’s emergence into the divine—and sets up the heroic path ahead as they confront Titanspawn, hidden threats, and the shifting balance between fate and free will.

Scion “The Valley of the Setting Sun” Chapter 5: Shadows at the Trade Feb 26, 2020

Show notes

Posing as opportunistic thieves, Jesse, Sir Nicholas, and Gary step into the role of middlemen, leveraging the mysterious briefcase to draw out the god-killing cult that’s been moving in the valley’s shadows. With Minerva’s guidance, backup hidden in the dark, and a late-night meet arranged at the storm drains, the band walks a tightrope between mortal greed and divine danger. But as strange relics and deadly favors are laid out for exchange, something in the air turns—reminding them that in Phoenix, even the best-laid plans can twist in an instant.
