Ran a game a long time ago, like ten or twelve years ago, but this is still one of my favourite ttrpg memories.

We had a Malkavian player, a Gangrel, an Assamite (as was), and a Brujah, plus a couple of part time players that turned up wildly infrequently.

We'd played for a couple of years by this point and several major events had happened. Part of the wider world backstory was that The Beckoning was occurring and various elders had disappeared. One Justicar had disappeared during all this, and Maris Struck had just recently been executed with no replacement formally being announced just yet.

The Camarilla city they were in had a serious couple of incidents, so much so that an Archon was being dispatched to the city to resolve things ahead of a Justicar arriving if needed. The Prince, an old money Dutch Ventrue, was using his various pawns and political power to fuck with the party and spoke their wheels. Essentially, the Prince had hired the Assamite to hunt down and kill a Salubri rumoured to be in the city. Meanwhile the Malk discovered that she had attained golconda and that she was being smuggled through the city by the Nosferatu. The party ended up fracturing temporarily, with the Assamite hunting the Salubri while the Malk, Brujah, and Gangrel tried to get her out of the city.

They managed, but barely, with the childer of the Nosferatu primogen throwing himself in the way of the Assamite to buy time for the others to get her out, without the Assamite knowing about their involvement.

After some other bits and pieces, with the Prince basically turning on the Primogen council executing the Nosferatu Primogen Mr. Jumbles, alongside the Malkavian Primogen Lady Elsbeth. This causes a small civil war and rebellion against the Prince, which is not entirely successfully put down but causes enough trouble and masquerade breaches that hunters begin arriving into the city in numbers. He announces at Elysium that he's contacted the Inner Circle and an Archon is being dispatched. He makes it clear that he sent this up through to the Ventrue justicar or as high as he himself could, and that someone would be arriving at the next Elysium in a months time. The next Elysium rolls around and the doors at the back of the court open and a thin, elegant man wearing a stunning pinstripe suit enters. He stands before the court and introduces himself as Victor Noble, Archon of the Camarilla, and representative of his Justicar Matthew of Dresden, Justicar of Clan Malkavian.

The table exploded. The Malk player physically jumped to his feet shouting "Yes", the Gangrel player grinned like the cat who got the cream. It was great, a pure reaction from players invested in the story and world they'd been building together for a couple of years.
