In the aftermath of devastation, the Pale Riders awaken to silence, firelight, and the weight of what they’ve done. Gathered by unseen Sabbat forces and taken deep into the Mexican desert, they find themselves separated and left to confront the monsters within. Across years of solitude and dark mentorship, each Rider begins to unravel, rebuild, and reshape themselves in the image of the Sword of Caine.
Faith turns inward, discipline becomes obsession, and redemption gives way to transformation. What was once a pack bound by survival begins to understand its purpose—each member a weapon being honed for wars yet to come.
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.

In this episode we are joined by Brendan Carrion from the Full Metal RPG podcast to discuss how to bring out tones and themes of horror in World of Darkness games.
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 Pale Riders make landfall along the Gulf coast, their trawler drifting into a mist-covered harbor as the final leg of their journey approaches. In the stillness of Tabasco’s docks, old fears resurface and new tensions rise. Whispers of a vanished town, a blighted salt mine, and a foreign family’s forgotten legacy point the pack toward a grim destination—Capatchi.
Haunted by faith, hunger, and the ghosts of their own creation, the Riders move among the living one last time—each step pulling them closer to confrontation, revelation, and damnation.

Inside Bliss, the pulse of music gives way to tension and choice. The motley faces difficult conversations about trust, safety, and what it means to protect their own. In a city where fear lingers like heat, every promise feels heavier than the last. No spoilers—only the quiet moment when conviction turns into consequence.
