We need just one more player to kick-off our brand new Vampire the Masquerade chronicle, "Twin Cities by Night." Will it be you? Join us on Friday, September 20th for the Session Zero! As an added bonus, this chronicle is Powered by Tono Pizzeria + Cheesesteak! Enjoy a slice of pizza provided by during this game's regularly scheduled session break each week.

CHRONICLE DESCRIPTION:
Vampires, Werewolves, Shades, Fey, Mages and doomed human Hunters act as a bastion between the monsters and those who are in blissful ignorance. With a focus on political intrigue and personal horror, players balance between holding on to the vestiges of their humanity and indulging in the beast that longs, that needs the blood. Blood is everything to a Vampire. The only thing that keeps that longing in check is maintaining your humanity. The most important thing to vampire society is the Masquerade - DO NOT reveal yourself to humans. Doing so will incur the wrath of not only human hunters but also other vampires trying to tie up loose ends.

World of Darkness: Vampire the Masquerade 5th Editionis a Tabletop Role-Playing Game that highlights role-play and political maneuvering. At Badwolf Adventure Studios, we offer “Twin Cities by Night,” our own variation of this popular game that uses the very real map of the Minnesota Metro. We provide everything needed to explore your inner vampire. Experience the Twin Cities in a brand new way while navigating the various sects and factions vying for prominence and power.

The Minnesota Renaissance Festival kicks off this weekend! Have you booked your on-site Adventure yet? Badwolf will be offering three brand-new original 90 minute one-shots throughout the the festival. Players will have the opportunity to choose from the following Level 3 Adventures:

THE RUINS OF SACHA KHAJAANA

Beneath the Temple of the Fossilized King, high atop the Unforgiven, a series of stairs stretches deep into the darkness, unveiled after a battle with goblins, skeletons, and a monstrous creature of stitched together flesh. After descending these steps for a full day, flickering torch light illuminates a runestone next to a suspicious hallway littered in bones. “Sacha Khajaana,” it reads. “True Treasure” in the language of the ancients who once dwelled in this land.

A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE

How did such a simple quest go sideways? A rat problem at the Spilled Pint. It had been going so well. Then, a single misstep, a glowing rune, an ominous noise, and now the rats are as big as you are! Or rather, you’ve become as small as them. Your only hope at a return to normalcy, it seems, is to ascend the inner walls of the tavern and confront Emperor Rodentious Maximus to take the magical treasures he hoards so jealously!

ON THE SHORES OF LAKE EVENMIRE

At the end of a long day, nothing looks so inviting as a rest at camp. Fortunately, your journey was blessedly simple today – no bandits, no roving monsters, no nefarious plots, and now you’re able to set up camp on the picturesque shores of Lake Evenmire itself! As the sun sets, however, a thick mist begins to roil from the center of the lake illuminated in the pale moonlight…
