Not a tremendous amount, which might seem odd, but was done purposely. Being a member of the Thieves' Guild is actually pretty boring. The real excitement is getting away with crimes when both the civic authorities and the criminal underworld have it out for you! We treat the Thieves' Guild of Lankhmar as a foil to be thwarted more often than not. If you want to run a game where everyone is a member of the Guild, you can, but we didn't include new mechanics or subsystems to cover that anymore than we did if you want to have the party all be members of the Sorcerers' Guild (another viable, yet boring option).
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
