The pack (Silver Fang Philodox, Red Talon Ahroun, and Bone Gnawer Ragabash) is trying to keep a meeting between urban and rural Garou from turning into a bloodbath by hearing a powerful bane of brutality into the center of the city to give both sides a common enemy AND draw out their quarry, the bane’s rival.

EDIT: I just realized OP is asking about WtA, not WoD. I'll leave this here since it fits the subreddit, unless the mods want me to remove it.

My last VtM chronicle was set in New York City in 1999 and it was called The End of Days. It was the first VtM experience for my players so it served as an introduction to WoD and VtM in general. I made heavy use of New York by Night (excellent sourcebook). Most stories had to do with political maneuvering but in the end things escalated. In the final session the coterie was "blessed" by having an interaction with the Tzimisce Antediluvian that resulted in their final death.

My current VtM chronicle is set in the Dark Ages, specifically in Prague in 1230, and is called Sanguis Fidelis (Blood of the Faithful) The major themes explore what it means to be a lord and a vassal, and the point of religion/spirituality in our (un)lives. This is my most ambitious chronicle yet. Almost every single character is created from scratch, each having a personal quest and distinct agendas. An Antediluvian may or may not be involved in the events taking place, and (allegedly) a Baali is roaming Bohemia doing God knows what (I know).

We wrapped a minute ago, but after slaughtering a Pentex lab the pack finally got to kill the BSD who had tortured and scarred the Ragabash’s boyfriend and threatened the Theurge’s family.

Currently the Garou are still feeling each other out and trying to work out if they even want to form a pack. At this exact moment they're investigating some disappearances in a satellite town and may have stumbled onto some bad mojo. Mostly their interactions are entertaining their chaperone and making her glad that circumstances made her a Pack-of-One.

Chronicle is heavily influenced by The Boys, homegrown politics of an alternate timeline of IRL events, with a heavy sprinkling of soap operatic drama and shenanigans.

Session 34 just wrapped. For a bit of context, the Pack were still somewhat reeling that the twin sister of their "guest" Galliard (basically the Pack was supposed to be a Silver Pack, but IRL the Galliard players had stuff come up that led to them leaving, so as ST I introduced in between the first and second Galliard who left an NPC Galliard to fill that role whenever IRL Galliard player became unavailable indefinitely) was the Ahroun of the BSD pack consulting for the Big Pharma company that is our game's analogue for Vought. Not only that they also learned that the parentage of the twins includes the legendary Shadow Lord Ahroun of their previous Sept who was presumed dead after a botched operation of his pack roughly 3 decades ago, and that pack's Silver Fang Philodox, who in the present day is staunchly Traditionalist, has been a bit of an annoying obstructive Elder to the players' Pack, and is also the aunt of the player Ahroun. The Pack is also dealing with suffering their first real loss after having their asses handed to them by the Homelander expy and the BSD pack when they tried to infiltrate the training and recruiting facility of these "superheroes".

In that confrontation the Pack barely escaped with their lives, but not before swiping a tablet containing all the incriminating evidence of the bad shit (think P. Diddy Freak-Offs/Epstein Island) the so-called heroes have done, also proof that the current "Rage Virus" outbreak causing outbreaks of cannibalistic violent super strong "zombies" to erupt among the populace was caused by Big Pharma to provide the heroes antagonists to neutralize and look good to the public, and some hints that the legendary Ahroun presumed dead might still be alive and held captive by the Wyrm's forces. So now the Pack is using all its influence on various groups to organize protests and incite violence against Big Pharma and the Superheroes, which led to Saturday's session wherein they set-up a big rally and protest at the HQ of big Pharma that ended in protesters clashing with state actors and PMCs, fires and explosionz, superhero intervention, and near-martyrdom for the mortal patsies propped-up by the Pack.

That's the basic gist of everything so far, but there's so much more I haven't mentioned.
