That can include patrons, handlers, informants, fences, safe houses, supporters, fellow believers, etc. Mechanically I use one or more of the following:* existing or custom backgrounds that have back ground features for this. Folk Hero comes to mind, but I like working with players to come up with custom backgrounds as well. * Factions/Reputation/Infamy. Drawing from the DMG but heavily modified with an "organization dice" mechanic from an ENWorld article* Matt Coleville's Strongholds and Followers book* Xanathar's Guide to Everythings downtime rulesThe Rogue in the party for my main campain is a member of the Underguild (from the Lost Lands setting), but also has perks with a number of other organizations that he's earned through good reputation (as well as some enemies he's earned through infamy). He also owns a tavern that gives him some benefits when collecting intel.</blockquote>
