**These benefits and factions are only present in games run by me** Though other GM's are welcome to use it if they like For my missions I will begin using a faction system to track things, and potential rewards/upgrades for the guild. For an explanation of what this all is look to the bottom of the page. Feel free to use this thread to discuss what the Toesanian Arm of the guild should be building and what they should be doing in Toesania.

For such a large group of players I want my games to build on this idea of community and have the guild fictionally represented by more than a picture of a tavern. We all know the best way to make you players care about something is to mechanically reward it! By building reputation and gaining coin the Guild can be upgraded so that you all have something to give a shit about. What is Tier? Tier is a way of measure how much of a deal the Guild is in the world. 1 being the underdogs and 5 being the top of the game. By having a better Tier the guild will attract more profitable contracts and unlock the ability to further upgrade the assets. Tier is increased when the guild reputation reaches 12 Reputation You will earn reputation for the guild predominantly by completing a contract. You might also find opportunity to increase reputation by performing extra actions that make the guild look good and spreads its Rep Reputation can also be decreased by failing contracts or other Ill-reputed actions that make the guild look bad What is Coin? Coin is an abstract amount of gold that the guild uses to upgrade its assets. You will earn the guild gold by completing contracts, but try to look out for other potential ways to earn the Guild Coin What are relations? More importantly why should you care? Having a positive relation with another faction will mean they are more likely to support the Guild and importantly, give them better pay if they hire them Having a hostile relation is a way of gauging how much the other faction is going to try and fuck with you +3: Allies. This faction will help you even if it’s not in their best interest to do so. They expect you to do the same for them. +2: Friendly. This faction will help you if it doesn’t create serious problems for them. They expect you to do the same. +1: Helpful. This faction will help you if it causes no problems or significant cost for them. They expect the same from you. 0: Neutral -1: Interfering. This faction will look for opportunities to cause trouble for you (or proft from your misfortune) as long as it causes no problems or signifcant cost for them. They expect the same from you -2: Hostile. This faction will look for opportunities to hurt you as long as it doesn’t create serious problems for them. They expect you to do the same, and take precautions against you. -3: War. This faction will go out of its way to hurt you even if it’s not in their best interest to do so. They expect you to do the same, and take precautions against you.
