OK, I finally found the #VtM playstyle validation I was looking for in 2018's *Anarch*: the *Response Algorithm* chapter lays out an escalation pyramid of intrusive reactions, in broad strokes with examples, that an organization might have towards the coterie. In this framework, I can plan on deploying several layers of indirection (kine >> ghoul >> baron) and manipulation to keep the coterie's heads spinning.
@satchel@dice.campOk, wrapping my #TTRPG head around a grand unified theory of running an overly complicated #VtM Chronicle. The idea is that as the PCs pursue their ambitions they're running roughshod over organizations' carefully laid plans to which the organization responds. The emphasis here will be on the lower rungs of response, sending in mortals and--at the very most--ghouls to make the Coterie's un-lives difficult. I don't have to know the organizations' plans, only their responses.
