'''Madtown by Night''' is a collaborative World of Darkness project and chronicle set in Madison, Wisconsin. It serves as both a living campaign setting and a narrative foundation for original stories, events, and cross-layer chronicles (including Nameless Echoes, Mage, Vampire, Garou, Fae, and custom Echo campaigns).

== Mission Statement ==

Our mission is to blend real Madison history, urban legends, and World of Darkness lore to create a vibrant, evolving supernatural setting. We encourage collaborative storytelling, creative contributions, and community-driven worldbuilding.

== What is Madtown by Night? ==

Madtown by Night is:
* A living World of Darkness city sourcebook, playable in Vampire, Mage, Werewolf, Changeling, or crossover chronicles.
* The foundation setting for the ''Nameless Echoes'' trilogy and Gen Con modules.
* A Madison-specific chronicle, echoing real history, local legends, and supernatural politics.
* A place for community-driven narrative—players, GMs, and writers are encouraged to expand, update, and create content.

== Key Features ==

* **Layered Setting:** Explore Madison across multiple supernatural lenses—Vampire (Kindred), Werewolf (Garou), Mage, Fae (Changeling), and mortals.
* **Canonical Timeline:** Ties together real-world history, World of Darkness lore, and unique Madtown events.
* **Character Repository:** Houses original and adapted NPCs, ready for use in your games or stories.
* **Cross-Over Friendly:** Built for interconnected play and genre-blending—factions, alliances, and rivalries span Mage, Vampire, Garou, Fae, Technocracy, and more.
* **Collaborative Worldbuilding:** Anyone can contribute new locations, events, characters, or chronicles.

== The Madtown by Night Wiki ==

* The wiki is a living project: pages may be expanded, corrected, or rewritten as new echoes, chronicles, or player actions shape the world.
* Game masters are encouraged to use and modify content for their own games.
* Player-submitted echoes and alternate histories are welcome and may become canon through play.

== How to Get Involved ==

* Create an account and start editing! Add your chronicle, create characters, or expand on local legends.
* Join our Discord server (see [[Community]] for the invite) to meet other storytellers, share ideas, or ask for help.
* Play in or run a campaign using the Madtown by Night setting—submit your session logs or unique events to help shape canon.

== Credits and Acknowledgments ==

* White Wolf Publishing’s World of Darkness
* Real Madison history and legends (with deep respect for the Ho-Chunk Nation and the peoples of Teejop)
* The broader collaborative WoD community
* Our local playgroups, storytellers, and contributors
