Message: <blockquote data-quote="DrunkonDuty" data-source="post: 3741293" data-attributes="member: 54364">Crime: I'm for it.  But a good thieves guild does need some work. It has to act as the seemy underbelly of society and this means that both it and society need to be well mapped out. Things to consider:Who's who and their what are their connections to to the guild? What rackets are the guild into? (slaving? gambling? prostitution? drugs? protection? blackmail?) There may be more than one gang. If so do they have different physical territories or are they involved in different rackets, or are they in all out turf war? How does one join? How do they feel about competition (Aw heck, lets face it, no thieves guild has ever liked competition) and how might this impact on PC thieves?Working on my next campaign at the moment. There will be a thieves guild and they'll have connections with a powerful local noble who is also the chief cultist of an evil sea god (think Dagon from HPL.) The noble has allies among the Sahuagin that live off the coast. The thieves are basically going to be the introduction for the PC's to the deeper evil threatening the town. The thieves will control smuggling and the docks as well as indulge in white slaving. There'll be drugs as well as other contraband like spell componenets. Arcane magic is illegal in this area and the few wizards who live locally are keen to buy their supplies on the quiet to avoid the Witch Finders. They'll be the people to go to for any sort of slightly dodgy necessity and I'm hoping they'll be able to play a duel role for the PC's.
