Crothian said:Guildcraft might be the best of the three, but it's too class oriented (guild for fighters, barbarians, etc) and not really guilds for the commoners. Also, the guildcraft use of spending XP for guild abilities is something that some people like and some do not.

Guildcraft's spending XPs to advance in the the guild idea is brilliant, as it gives non-casters something to spend their XP on (an idea also seen in the various Fantasy Flight "Path Of" series). PCs spending XP slows down level advancement, which should make this system a DM's best friend.
Crothian said:I bring it up becasue we have had some majorly heated debates on these boards about spending XP in this way. Some like it, others don't. So, it's something that needs to be mentioned.
