Guild politics and effects on PCS

[jody mcadoo]

My group (playing SCAP) is considering starting an 'adventurers Guild. They want to offer varous bonuses for others to join and in exchange have guild dues and everything from money lending to equipment for sale to training and on and on...

An article detailing how other guilds and shops might react or even fluff about other guilds that i could draw on or use as a mold or template of sorts would be great. Also taxes and billing and what not: cost of the building, upkeep..

If anyone knows of a resource I could use, I'd much appreciate the info.

Thanks.

Some Forgotten Realms references: the Fall of Stars adventurers' club in Harrowdale (Volo's Guide to the Dalelands) and the Society of Stalward Adventurers based in Suzail (The Ring of Winter); and see Power of Faerûn.

This is a pretty good idea! I'd like to see an article on guilds in general. How to establish a guild, how relationships between different guilds could develop, why to start a guild in the first place and so on. This could be quite interesting...
