Cataphract's Adventurers Guild Supplement

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $2.95

The Adventurer's Guild supplement is now available as PWYW! Thank you to everyone who supported the module by purchasing it over the last few years. I'm no longer actively updating (new projects come calling!), so I feel it's time to let it stand on its own merits. Given the current climate, I would rather everyone enjoy and share my work for what they think it is worth, and save their money for what they need.

Adventurers often choose to band together to create a legitimate agency for their lifestyle. Guilds offer members a variety of perks and services, in exchange for a cut of profits, and the odd job or two. This supplement is a guide for creating and managing a guild campaign. It offers players interesting opportunities to augment and expand their normal game. There are rules for establishing your guild, guild buildings and services, guild staff, upkeep, and recruitment. The supplement includes stat blocks for all of the NPCs to be found in the guild.

If you have any comments or feedback, or want to request a feature, I'm very open to suggestions. Just start a discussion below!

Features:

  • Guide to creating a guild, including starting a new guild campaign, joining an existing guild, and founding your own guild.
  • Engaging but straightforward guild management and upkeep - minimum work, maximum play time.
  • 20+ Guild followers that you can recruit or collect on your adventures. Rules for recruiting, generating, and exploiting your followers. Full stat blocks for every follower.
  • 15+ Guild buildings that offer powerful perks and bonuses for your adventurers. Buildings take advantage of many skills, offering a rewarding system regardless of how you build your character.
  • Guild sheet - a handy character sheet for tracking your guild.
  • Variant Guild: Caravans. Take your guild on the road with you. This variant adds rules for converting your guild into a travelling merchant caravan or fleet of ships, including a building slot mechanic.
  • Variant Guild: Rogues' Gallery. Carve out your territory, send your followers on clandestine missions, and compete against rival cartels and law enforcement alike in this guild variant. This variant adds rules for starting a criminal empire, including powerful new followers and buildings, and the all-new influence and rivalry rules.
  • Variant Guild: Secret Society. Turn your guild into a demon lord's cult, or a hidden order of knightly protectors with this guild variant. Secret societies are perfect for players who don't want to include the mechanical rules for a guild in their game, or for those who want to spice up their existing guild with hidden agendas and intrigue.
  • Variant Guild: Wild Tribe. Turn your guild into a community living in the untamed wilderness! Vie for control of territory, and struggle against rival tribes.

Why is the cost of creating an item the same as buying it from a shop? Makes it pointless to craft if shops are nearby

On page 8, in the "Train Followers" the follower who succeeds becomes a skilled and not an unskilled, as it is in the file.

Well spotted - it should indeed read "If the training succeeds, the follower becomes a Skilled follower of the chosen type".

Not yet, thanks for the interest! I've got some ideas floating around - it's just a matter of finding the time to piece them together.

Fantastic product though I must ask if it's possible for you to upload one with a higher resolution? Your guild sheet looks oddly out of focus, especially when printed.

Thank you! And good catch - I've created a new 300dpi version of the guild sheet and uploaded it as a second PDF file. That should make for a cleaner print.

Not to be nit-picky, but on page 7 your table headings are doubled...

Is there a sample of this module available? I'm very interested, but even one or two pages would be informative for what to expect as far as format and level of detail. Thanks

Hey Andy! You can see a quick or full-size sample at the top of this page. I thought you might want to see some more though, so I went ahead and expanded the full-size preview to 10 pages - you'll be able to get a good idea of it from that (in fact, you'll mostly be able to just use the preview if you want to try it in your game and see if you want more). I tried to include a good spread of detail throughout the supplement, but I don't want to be prescriptive. There are suggestions for handling all sorts of things in various levels of detail, but you can and should feel free to build on it.

Hey everyone, Cataphract here. I want to create a general discussion for this supplement, so that you can share your thoughts. As of now, I'm working on the final missing pieces, wrapping the project up. I hope this supplement sits as a launching point for your own guild campaigns, and I want to know your thoughts - especially if you've made modifications! What exists here is a (lengthy) skeleton, and more than anything else, I'd love to hear stories of how you've used this guide - success stories and difficulties alike! Please leave comments below. I'll be sure to take them into consideration when making future updates.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
