d100 Magic Guild Demands

So wizards also carve out domains, many like them in wilds and far from anyone to live with just a few servants and squads of orcs. Others like the city around the university and magi guilds. Some live like knights and incorporate an estate with a village & land and resources but include the obligations of warrior nobility. If you roll a task not quite suited to your wizard feel free to reroll entries or a whole type of demands. Your followers and students can often help.

As part of polite legal wizardry, you are usually a member of a guild. As you will have followers and students the guild operates schools and universities and participates in academic life. This includes conferences, being made to teach (a great honour and fame enhancing) or sharing research and experiments for peer review. There may be rival guilds of every element with their own history and founding masters. Still, often these will form an alliance and start a shared library or institution to form a mega guild - a force to be reckoned with that may even own cities or town councils. 

Many outsider wizards even if independent will act like a guild structure for students and followers and share spells. They may still trade with a guild and abide by some of its mandates to avoid conflict and to be left alone. Guild students might even be sent to these wizards if they can't pay reasonable tuition fees or to get rid of them.

I may need to do a table like this to cover dungeon bosses and wild warlords, This would be better for all sorts of adventurers beyond the frontier and not part of their class roles in polite society. Like for powerful rich murder hobos.

d100 Demands of the Temple

 

High-level priests don't just get to run a nice big church or monumental structure they get a territory like a knight or a crime boss. They have obligations, problems and things to deal with in their religious domain. Does their domain accord with landed noble's maps or have their own system. Do you have one or lots of nobles to deal with? Churches may have their own courts, schools, prisons, hospitals, libraries, orphanages, etc. Many obscure branches of the big churches and pantheons may exist and be as weird as smaller secret cults. 

Also at higher levels followers are less handy meatshields but now trouble solvers you could point to these problems leaving you free to adventure. Followers that do a good job with some risk or challenge might go up levels without being on an adventure. You can try and solve problems in ways not intended if you don't really want to be a jerk.

d100 Demands of the Crime Guild

So as high-level fighters become nobles and get to meet kings and stuff thieves gangs increasingly grow. A gang might start with a few followers in a city block and grow to include whole towns or even cities. As you scale up you become in competition with new bigger gangs. Bigger gangs might include multiple settlements and will have vassal gangs who pay them to exist. There should be kingdom-wide gangs or alliances and even international ones. Quite possibly a guild might become a legal authority or a spy agency or even secret police. These tables are nasty crimes not fun crimes so you might need to find creative ways of resolving these if your a fun swashbuckling criminal. Maybe with some help from a wizard. Its ok to kill off a cult for wanting to buy sacrificial victims. Its ok to defy orders and deal with the situation or who tried to make you do nasty stuff.

These are odd jobs some higher-up or ally needs from your high-level gang leader or guild leader. They might also be presented to the boss by their main advisors and followers. If your adventurer crime lord is a good guy they might have to come up with nicer solutions to the mission and that is fine. Powerful gangs have to balance the fact they must prey on their own kind so they learn to live with it but not so much everyone unites to destroy crime.

As a thief rises in levels it also improves their street cred from a single block or street gang all the way to the inner circle of a crime family. Lawful gangs are more hierarchical often with families, chaotic are more fluid and change more. Lawful gangs like the state and want to use its apparatus preferring the status quo. Chaotics are like when the system fails and breaks under pressure and change. Evil gangs are more malicious, neutral gangs are more interested in survival and self-interest, and good gangs usually are trying to help and are less concerned with violence and profit

d12 Typical Crime Organisation Types by Alignment
1 Chaotic Evil bullies favour armed robbery, banditry and vice. Such gangs often burn out with street violence or uniting everyone to finish them off. Leave no witnesses and spread terror

2 Evil malicious, sadistic thugs favour assassination, kidnapping, slavery and extortion. Hated and feared by everyone but occasionally employed for those skills

3 Lawful Evil favours secret influence, bribes, corruption, blackmail, ransom, gambling and moneylending. Like to have influence over trade, business and nobility. Prefers debtors to slavery and operates black markets

4 Chaotic Good revolutionaries redistribute wealth from rich to poor and reject the crown, crimes that harm the elites often banditry or luxury goods, or returning stolen produce of the poor. Destabilising the state to replace it is a long-term goal to establish a new system or ruler but these details are a bit fuzzy

5 Good operates as a secret aid organisation helping the downtrodden and persecuted perhaps even aiding non-humans or outlawed cults, they steal and commit crimes to aid their desperate cause and avoid being noticed or harmed, preferring to rob those responsible for harming their cause. See themselves as above other criminal motives

6 Lawful Good are cult-like and rejects the current system, imposing its own more severe code, necessity sometimes dictates secrecy, law-breaking or violence for the cause

7 Chaos are high-risk ungovernable favouring illegal gambling, fraud, coin clipping, numbers rackets, and rigging sports results. Destabilising the state helps their methodology. Tolerate mutants and many outcastes

8 Balance seeks to moderate strong influences of excessive law or chaos. By methodically performing their crimes to sustainably profit and many operate as crooked merchants who skim wealth but not enough to notice. Will engineer markets and shortages one day and the next will report rival guild secrets to the state 

9 Law is a rigid cult-like secret society whose purpose is to root out corruption, incompetent officials and threats to the state that the current rulers don't see. Criminal actions are always dedicated to harming their enemies or chaotic influences they don't approve of. They obey a more perfect order than grubby flawed humans can impose so will commit crimes of necessity more than greed. They may seek power and influence but as a means to an end not its own sake or pleasure or self-interest. The money taken from enemies is for the cause, not the self

10 Neutral really just wants money to avoid getting caught or noticed and prefers smuggling, burglary and pickpockets. Many base members are beggars and street urchins who can act as informants. In some ways, they are one of the most common types but cashed-up members tend to move to another type 

11 Mix two different results from above roll a d10 

12 Mix three different results from above roll a d10

11 and 12 may represent different major factions and if factions to different they need a reason to cooperate

Seasonal Faerie Encounters

Seasonal Faerie Encounters 
So in the old days, faeries were everywhere and invisible ones or ones that flitted between faerie land and earth easily. Loner fairies are often more likely to be dangerous and have links to darkness, undeath and the underworld. Nowadays outside of wild places, some may see signs of more faeries on the solstices as remnants of great visible and invisible faeries make processions helping the new season arrive. These seasons dictate which elf types rule for a season and the forms of elven gods.

the Bureau
Logline: In early 20th century Russia, a secret organization known as The Bureau works tirelessly to protect their nation from the lurking horrors of the Cthulhu mythos.

Story Bible:
The Bureau was founded during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II, when a group of intellectuals and mystics came together to investigate strange and unsettling reports from across the empire. As they delved deeper, they discovered that the Cthulhu mythos was not just a fanciful invention of H.P. Lovecraft, but a very real and dangerous force that threatened to consume the world.

Over the years, The Bureau has grown and adapted to the changing political landscape of Russia. They have weathered the tumultuous years of the Bolshevik revolution, and have continued to operate under the watchful eye of Soviet authorities. Their methods are often unorthodox, and their enemies numerous, but their dedication to their mission is unwavering.

Led by the enigmatic figure of Sergei Ivanov, The Bureau is a diverse group of men and women, united by their shared knowledge of the Cthulhu mythos and their determination to fight against it. As they face off against cults, monsters, and otherworldly entities, they must also navigate the dangerous politics of a country in turmoil. The Bureau is a tale of horror, espionage, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable evil. Bureau Agents
