Lorebook — Threat ↔ Counter Appendix (Micro) (GOLD, Complete)

8 entries · scan depth 3 · budget 2,600 tokens · recursive scanning on

A tiny GM appendix that cross-indexes common threat signatures to the kinds of counters that feel right at the table (tags, assets, pivots, and costs). Not a rules system—pure scene-speed reference. Integrates with Threat Catalog, Equipment Tags, Vehicles & Assets, Locations, and Integration Reference.
