About to start a MCWoD game later this month. I have 4 players, 2 playing mages and 2 playing awakened! This game will therefore have a much more prominant light vs dark feel than if my players were any of the other classes. My overview/game notes are below. I am taking the Buffy/Angel Unisystem approach and plotting it out like it was a season of a TV series. I also took a page out of Charles Dunwoody's playbook ( http://www.rpg.net/column...lumn.phtml?colname=brave ) and am using some of the free d20 modern adventures to use as filler episodes.
The Antagonists:
CHIMERA: The Lion, Dragon and Goat
Chimera is a Three prong alliance of a demon, vampire, and werewolf, and their own various subordinates.
The Dragon: Terrance Stanhope (Vampire) - CEO of The Stanhope Corporation before he became a vampire. The soul that has been forced into his body has assumed the Stanhope identity. Perhaps the soul is even the founder of the Stanhope Corporation from years ago and coincidentally ended up in his great great great grandson's body? The Stanhope Corporation is analagous to Stark industries - a government contracted weapons manufacturer, among other things. Stanhope has entered into a working agreement with Rubicant for what he believes is their mutual benefit - but Rubicant is merely using him. However, Stanhope expects this, despite Rubicant's promises, and plans on using Rubicant as well.
The Lion: Rubicant (Demon) - Motivation needs developed. Being a demon though, his motivation is to simply cause chaos, as he believes that is the best way to serve the Iconnu. He will often attempt to make extremely strange things happen, and get them as much media attention as possible.
The Goat: Unnamed Werewolf - Not the smartest of the bunch, Stanhope and Rubicant are completely using him for their own means. He's a thug, basically, but smart enough to rule over his own gang of mooks.

Nightmare Site Ideas:
Some of these are mine, some were suggested to me in threads elsewhere, which is why it sometimes changes in the way each is written.
The example given in the book is that the Mall of America is a self-replenishing Zombie Apocalypse. But when the zombies pass through the doors outside they fall down stone dead, so it is self contained.
I had an idea for a hospital where the sick and injured do not die, but their wounds will never heal inside that hospital, either. The sky is the limit with Nightmare Sites and the Nightmare Wave.
My buddy gave me the idead for one where people never age but when they leave all that time catches up to them - maybe not instantly, but within a few months.
A college where you lose 95% of what you learn each morning
A haunted house where the only things that inhabit it are beings that YOU dreamed of -- that know YOU and your weaknesses and fears
An NPC who ripped their own tongue out to prevent them from spreading some horrible story that gives a being more power the more people who hear it. That person could also start a killing spree by going after everyone who tells the story, so s/he cuts out the tounge of the people telling it as well, leaving them to die once the deed is done. I can plant a seed by having one of the PCs contacts talk about police investigating a murder where the victims tounge was cut out, but its beneath their notice cus its obviously not related at all to the intrusion. 
A mercenary team...that's working FOR the Innconu. Season Two will involve moving the group to Chicago, closer to the intrusion zone. The team will run into a team similar to themselves, but this group is the SST - Stanhope Strike Team. A buddy who used to play Werewolf suggested this and was inspired by PENTEX's First Teams.
The Sears Tower in Chicago...when you step inside, each time is a different year/era. It could be the 60's, it could be the 90's...it could be that the team stands on the land BEFORE Chicago was even founded.
Seems like exactly the right terrain to do a Children of the Corn inspired story, which ends up in a small farming town on the edge of the Haunted Lands where people are being sacrificed to a fertility god. Have the produce that comes out of that area (corn is an obvious choice, but it could be soy, wheat, whatever) have some kind of odd effect on people who eat it, which is what draws your party to the area. Say it's being used in some kind of energy bars or new-agey health food, because it has more nutrients, but some small but non-trivial number of the people who eat it are going crazy and going into psychotic violent episodes. The blood of the sacrifices is what is used to "feed" the corn. People who eat it turn into wendigos. I don't mean sasquatch. The actual wendigo legend is people who resort to cannibalism gain the power from the person they ate and develop a craving to continue the practice of cannibalism. Hit up wikipedia and read about Ravenous the movie. could be a horrible unforeseen consequence of the blood sacrifices for the fertility god... who of course doesn't really exist and is a demonic agent of the Iconnu posing as a god
As the team faces more and more of the Innconu, they learn of one Alderman Richard T. Jones- he seems to have incredible sway over the various supernatural factions, playing them off one another, and no one dares cross him. But he has a dirty secret- he has no supernatural abilities whatsoever. He's getting by on complete guile, lies, and a few tricks. Should the various factions discover this, his enemies would eat him alive- possibly literally.

If you're still here, awesome. Thanks for reading so much. We are really excited about this game and I cannot wait to get it started. That said I still would love to hear advice and ideas from anyone who has any! I especially need development ideas about the werewolf in Chimera, since I haven't had a lot of inspiration where he is concerned.
