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).
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
Michael Curtis Should have an idea.
