Changeling: the Lost "Vanity" Chapter 5: The Nightcap Confession Feb 01, 2018

Show notes

In the glow of dashboard lights, Charlie finally talks. He gives up the goblin fruit that’s been numbing him, admits the Crow People’s brutal rule about fetches, and describes the thing he saw: a rag-draped hag lifting a child from his bed—and the blackout that followed. Raymond wrestles with anger and duty, Isabel keeps the fear sharp and focused, Frank offers steadiness (and Fluffy), and Katrina stands firm on care over condemnation. They turn the car back toward Norma, ready to trade secrecy for consequences.

About the Chronicle

Changeling: The Lost — Vanity is a Chronicles of Darkness story set in 1993 South Florida. It follows Katrina, Raymond, Isabel, and Frank as they navigate memory, mask, and meaning after impossible experiences. Themes include the cost of survival, the seduction (and danger) of glamour, and the collision of faith, desire, and control in a world that’s equal parts neon and nightmare.

Changeling: the Lost "Vanity" Chapter 4: The Knock at the Window Feb 01, 2018

Show notes

The Pulse’s grand opening gives way to a hunt. Katrina finds Melissa glassy-eyed and useless for answers; Raymond leans on summer allies and pulls Isabel and Frank into the search. A late-night drive to Plantation ends at a basement bedroom—posters, ashes, and a scared voice finally talking. The Crow People’s rules, the thrill of fear, and the things that wear our faces all collide until one admission snaps Raymond’s control…and the night stops feeling safe.

The Brian Diaries: The Storyteller's Vault with Josh Jan 21, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we are joined by Josh from High Level Games to talk about White Wolf’ Storyteller’s Vault and some tips for those interested in taking part in it.

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.

Vampire: the Masquerade - Twin Cities by Night "Dread" Prelude 3: William – The Weight of Control Jan 14, 2018

Show notes

Power, faith, and control—three words that define William Strother’s long unlife in the Twin Cities.
In this prelude, William revisits the choices that built him: ambition without empathy, loyalty without love, and the quiet conviction that strength means never yielding. But the past is never content to stay buried, and the cracks beneath the city are beginning to show.

“The Weight of Control” explores how even the most disciplined Kindred can falter when the foundations of power shift beneath them.

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 - "Juarez on Fire" Chapter 27: Saltwater Hymns Jan 12, 2018

Show notes

The Pale Riders continue their voyage south along the Gulf, their trawler cutting through salt and silence. In the lull between storms, faith wavers and old ghosts resurface. Reflections reveal more than faces—echoes of guilt, loss, and the slow erosion of what little humanity remains. Each member of the pack must decide what part of themselves is worth saving before landfall brings the next reckoning.

About the Chronicle

Vampire: The Masquerade – Juarez on Fire is a Sabbat chronicle set in 1942, at the edge of civilization where Texas meets Mexico and faith burns as hot as the desert sun.

The story follows the Pale Riders, a newly formed Sabbat pack born from a mass Embrace and molded by pain, blood, and ritual. Each member — a soldier, zealot, matriarch, capitalist, and rebel — struggles to understand what it means to serve Cain while battling the fading remnants of their humanity.

The campaign delves into the early rise of Sabbat influence in the Americas, examining loyalty through suffering, faith corrupted by blood, and the monstrous freedom found in damnation.

Vampire: the Masquerade - "Juarez on Fire" Chapter 26: The Stake and the Abyss Jan 11, 2018

Show notes

As the trawler drifts through black water, the Pale Riders wrestle with the aftermath of their bloody revelations and what those memories might mean. Bound by faith and rivalry, they search for purpose in the silence between waves, haunted by whispers of betrayal, unfinished rituals, and the shadow of something vast watching from beyond. What lies ahead is not only a test of strength—but of belief itself.

Vampire: the Masquerade - "Juarez on Fire" Chapter 25: Communion by Salt and Fire Jan 08, 2018

Show notes

In the dead calm of a coastal night, the Pale Riders find themselves drawn into a village shrouded in silence and smoke. What begins as a moment of respite becomes a test of faith and identity, as revelations rise from the depths—both within and without. Haunted by visions and bound by blood, the pack must decide what faith means when the divine speaks through fear, flesh, and fire.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Wars on Fire follows the Pale Riders, a Sabbat pack forged in blood and fanaticism in 1942. From the borderlands of Texas to the haunted heart of Mexico, their journey is one of faith, violence, and the eternal struggle between conviction and damnation — as they carve their path through the ashes of war and the shadows of the Sword of Caine.

Vampire: the Masquerade - Twin Cities by Night "Dread" Prelude 2: Kaetao – Feral Reflection Dec 31, 2017

Show notes

In the heavy summer heat of 2011, the shadows of the Twin Cities stir once more.
Kaetao, a quiet Gangrel who’s spent decades on the fringes of kindred society, can no longer hide from the ghosts that follow him.Old memories surface—half-remembered faces, a name whispered in fear—and the past begins to bleed into the present. As the world of the Damned turns and alliances fracture, Kaetao must confront what it truly means to survive when isolation is no longer an option.

“Feral Reflection” explores the scars, secrets, and reluctant strength of a man who never asked for the Beast inside him—but can no longer deny it.

Changeling: the Lost "Vanity" Chapter 3: The Crow People Dec 22, 2017

Show notes

As celebration fades into conversation, worry creeps in. A name goes unspoken too long — Charlie, a young changeling from the Autumn Court, hasn’t been seen in days. Whispers trace his absence to the Crow People, a motley bound by shared torment and fraying sanity. While Katrina and Raymond split to question friends across the courts, the truth that returns is darker than rumor: Charlie’s locked himself away, clarity slipping, reality blurring.
No spoilers — only the first step into something that feels less like concern and more like omen.
