I have some ideas but I'm trying to think of creative uses for this. And something direct, like sending criminals to intimidate someone, feels more like Allies (Criminals) to me.
How would you use this background creatively?
Ohhh! I think this is discussing V5 specifically.
I’m not familiar with the laws by night influence system! What is that?
I struggle with the Influence background as well. As a tool how does it get used in practical terms? It seems like a narrative tool to do some broad game effects like moving criminal interests out of an area of the city, targeting specific businesses with crime to impact a rival, increasing drug traffic among certain groups or locations, etc.
It seems like a tool to use in projects to affect others maliciously, get revenge or impact opponent’s own influence / resources or what have you.
I brought up the idea that in a large city you might have many 5-dot Influence (Crime) kindred or kine individuals. If all things are equal what would motivate any of them to act against each other besides personal reasons? There’s no particular profit in it to stir up trouble.
I think Chicago by Night narrows down some of these to target more specific areas of the city, such as Influence (Crime, south side) 5.
Feels like a system ripe for some home brewing.
