• Focus on fleshing out the Community, esp Rumours.
• Any time you’re adding a character, creature, or faction – ask “why is it here?” and “what does it want?”
•  Keep Threats connected & flexible, and use clocks / timers. 
• Think about Conspyramids and Look For Patterns.
• Ground PCs in reality and focus on downtime and mundane interactions.
