If you want to include a thieves’ guild in your companion, then this would be a useful resource. I’ve already used it to inspire a one-shot I ran for a new player.
They chose to be a rogue, and so I used the idea of a thieves’ guild to run a session zero/tutorial thing where they were accepting a “routine business” sort of mission and playing that out.
It has a section for how to make such a guild: ranks, operations, size and relationships with other city factions like police and merchants. All of this is presented as a paragraph or two of explanation and then some random tables, so you can generate such a guild quickly.

- cap the opening encounter at 2 rounds if you have a full 6 people. If anyone hasn't beaten their skeleton by then, call them minions per the roleplay
- pick the Griffon encounter. The fairy one is fun, but the time can vary a lot and the mechanics can create a lot of confusion. Definitely don't do both
