Twin Cities by Night

Welcome to Twin Cities by Night.

This channel began as a way to share our chronicles of White Wolf’s Vampire: The Masquerade, starting with the campaign that bears our name. At its heart, our storytelling embraces the darker tones of the World of Darkness—exploring themes of personal horror, morality, and the struggle against the Beast within. While Twin Cities by Night remains our flagship tale, we have since expanded to explore a wide variety of tabletop roleplaying games. Alongside our central chronicle, we’ve told stories such as Servitude (Ghouls: Fatal Addiction), Juarez on Fire (Vampire: The Masquerade), and The Ultimate Evil (Chronicles of Darkness). We’ve also ventured into mythic sagas with Scion, the raw emotions of Monsterhearts 2, the chivalric tragedy of Pendragon, and the occult mysteries of Call of Cthulhu.

Every chronicle—whether rooted in the World of Darkness or beyond—remains dedicated to what drives us most: immersive storytelling, complex characters, and the atmosphere of darkness that binds them all together.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Twin Cities by Night "Dread" Chapter 24: Three Wolves, One Tower Sep 10, 2018

Show notes

The investigation deepens as multiple Kindred pursue the same dangerous lead.
A name whispered through the streets of Minneapolis pulls Kaetao, Valentine, Lenny, and Warren toward the city’s forgotten edges—where the shadows of the living grow just as long as those of the dead.

What begins as a search for answers soon becomes a test of loyalty, identity, and control.
Three hunters. One tower. And something waiting inside that none of them are prepared to face.

About the Chronicle

Dread is the third story arc of Twin Cities by Night, a Vampire: The Masquerade chronicle set in the hot and humid summer of 2011 in Minneapolis–St. Paul.

Following the events of Negligence and Homecoming, the city’s Kindred find themselves caught in new webs of fear, grief, and corruption. In the dark heart of the Twin Cities, power and hunger have never felt so close.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Twin Cities by Night "Dread" Chapter 23: The Clock and the Waves Sep 10, 2018

Show notes

The ticking never stops.
As Warren tries to make sense of what he witnessed beyond his own blood, the walls of the Chantry begin to whisper back. Ordered to retrieve two Malkavians—Adam Carter and Star—he finds himself caught between control and collapse, obedience and awakening. But when the waves return, louder than ever, and Star’s eyes reflect the same haunting sound, Warren realizes the madness isn’t his alone.

Some clocks measure time.
Others count down to something we were never meant to hear.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Twin Cities by Night "Dread" Chapter 22: No Callus for the Dead Sep 10, 2018

Show notes

The night offers no armor thick enough to dull what’s been seen.
Lenny searches for truth along the riverbanks of the Twin Cities and finds only warnings—names whispered like wounds, debts long uncollected, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
Some horrors can be endured. Others carve too deep to ever harden over.

The Brian Diaries: Women in the WoD Industry with Klara from Onyx Path Sep 02, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we are joined by Klara from Onyx path Publishing to talk about being a female writer in the World of Darkness industry.

About the Chronicle

Brian’s Diaries serves as a more introspective sister series—part journal, part commentary, part look behind the curtain. In each entry, Chris reflects on his experiences as a storyteller, podcaster, and creator within the Twin Cities by Night community. He also interviews people who are involved in the gaming community for their insights too.

Episodes explore what it means to run long-term chronicles, build living worlds, collaborate with players, and carry the emotional and creative weight of horror storytelling. The tone is honest and personal, sometimes humorous, sometimes somber, always authentic. Whether discussing past games, real-life challenges, or lessons learned through years of running narrative-heavy campaigns, Brian’s Diaries offers a rare, open look at the person behind the stories.

The Hunters Hunted II "Corruption" Chapter 9: Mop, Badge, and a Name Aug 20, 2018

Show notes

A hospital hallway becomes a battleground of wits: Robert flashes the badge, Jeb rolls in with a mop, and a wounded messenger gives up a single, dangerous name. Back at the bunker, Walter wrestles with impossible photos and a plan takes shape—clone the phone, call “T,” and choose the meeting on their terms.

About the Chronicle

The Hunters Hunted II "Corruption" Chapter 8: Coffee, Cops & Consequences Aug 20, 2018

Show notes

DC gridlocks—streets stuffed with protest signs and short tempers—while our hunters split the party. Walter and Greg plot over tea; Jeb readies his “janitor kit”; and Robert walks into a hospital where the halls are guarded and the stories don’t add up. A new detective, a nervous witness, and a quiet deal at the vending machines set the stage for answers…or fallout.

The Hunters Hunted II "Corruption" Chapter 7: Echoes & Ballistics Aug 20, 2018

Show notes

The sun comes up on frayed nerves. Jeb wakes to old nightmares and fresh bruises, Walter chases answers in a stack of photos that don’t quite add up, and Greg tries to keep the peace (and the coffee) flowing. Across town, Robert walks the tightrope at work—until a new lead ties last night’s gunfire to the church murders. Threads cross, tempers cool, and a plan forms: lean on badges, not bullets…at least to start.

Changeling: The Lost - "Vanity" Chapter 23: The Briar Trumpet Aug 13, 2018

Show notes

Raymond follows a late-night impulse into the quiet streets of a Florida neighborhood, chasing questions that won’t leave him alone. But the deeper he goes, the stranger the night becomes. Sounds twist, shadows deepen, and soon he finds himself standing at the edge of something far older than the world he knows—something waiting for him to take the next step.

About the Chronicle

It follows Katrina, Raymond, Isabel, and Frank as they navigate memory, mask, and meaning after impossible experiences.
