The Guild of Heroes / Heroes Ring

Application and Membership fee: We need to look at the other guilds in our region and determine an appropriate price for an application and membership fee.

Member Ranking system: We need to have code names for ranking our members. We can do a star system, from 1 to 5 or we can use titles. I just dont want to use military terms, it has to sound cool. Post your thoughts.
1- Noob 2- Pissant 3- Meatbag 4- Rolling Thunder 5- Doombringer

Services we offer: Training, Lodging, Quests, Equipment and Weapons

Training and Lodging: We need to find funding for a keep large enough for our guild. Depending on which district we choose to settle in. We need a space for sparring outside, a classroom / workshop for non combatants and enough rooms and bedding for a guild. Oh and we also need room for a store and storage.

Are there any abandoned fortress'/castles nearby that we could appropriate?


Quests: We will need to offer our members quests and benefits for joining our guild. How do you guys suggest we acquire them? Maybe we work with the local law enforcement in order to collect bounties? Or maybe we talk to the rich members of society that have a rat problem in their basement?

I believe we should use as many veins as possible. Some of us have different connections through out society. We should also consider alternate payment methods. For example maybe we take a job from some people in the Dead Docks. Maybe information is how they pay us, or something.

Equipment and Weapons: This is something that we can collect from completing quests ourselves and submitting into our own store so that members can purchase them at a discounted rate. We can also think about forming a partnership with local vendors. Let me know your thoughts.

We should definitely consider also seeing if we could get applicants with the necessary skills so as to reduce outsourcing.

Our Next Step: All of you will be essential in making this a reality. I think the first thing we should do in this new timeline is go to one of our rich friends house (Pat or Lian), get dressed and request to see the Regent of Chipan (if we arent too far in the past) and tell her of the trials we have gone through. We should mention the guild idea and hopefully find some-kind of sponsorship in the kingdom, maybe they have unused space in which we can rent with the intention to buy. I think this should be our first step. Thoughts?

Along with your replies please be sure to Note a topic so that it will be easier to read.

Housing: I think if we all pull our gold together and talk to the regent we may be able to obtain a reasonable residence or maybe they will donate one to us for free. I know we have done a lot for it but its difficult to prove that right?

Not all that difficult. Heroes Ring. Since we'd be speaking to nobility, they'd know we whether we were lying or not.

Titles: I would like titles that are reflective to the world the characters live in. But you have a start of a good idea. I like the term ring bearer for the high council. Maybe a step down from that could be "The Engaged" and a step down from that could be "The Promised".

The Chosen followed by The Engaged. The Promised sounds...off...

I agree with you on all fronts except for the ranking system. Something close to that could be awesome.

Listen if we do this, then we will be putting the save the world mission on halt. If we put this on halt can one of you guys call the Ender and ask him to take a 1 year vacation?


The only way we can accomplish this is if we do everything all the time. Every free moment is guild building and the hole group will need to participate. Since we started this campaign I don't really recall us ever having more than a day to our selves before another catastrophe occurred.

Its possible, but also hard. If we plan things out then maybe we can make 2-3 really big moves that can secure our guilds future.

I think we can accomplish this if all of the players get on board with the formation of this guild. We all have resources and connections. and I think that now that we are in our own time (or close to it) we will have some sort of reprieve to start the formation of this guild. I suppose it all depends on what happens next session but i think no matter what happens we can start this guild. Everyday we will have to work toward it until it's up and running.

1- Getting support from the royals, then nobles.
---- If we are considered the Heroes of the kingdom we can promise the upper crust a position in our society, via a  noble borns Daughter (Matriarchal Society). This we give us validity and funding, cause a nobles daughter needs her comforts and the people will want an opportunity to be part of our dream.
What would the Noble's role be within the guild? I am sure that Pat or Lian can find the right noble but what would we ask of her? To be the speaker of our cause?

2- We get a royal grant of property, maybe 2 locations. One for the nobles and another for the rest.  This will get accomplished along with "part one"
I agree that we need a royal grant of property, the guild will be a lot easier to shape once we have a space.


3- Marketing to the kingdom, if we get huge turnout we can suggest satellite locations donated via a local noble and make her in charge. this way it can grow on its own with out this turning into a SIMs game.
I think that we will be able to get a large turn out. Satellite locations can come later though. I think that we should focus on recruitment and establishing a large keep.

Anyone want to add or fine tune or criticize the above statement?

• Make friends: With nobles, the poor and everyone in between in order to gain their connections and hopefully revenue
  

• Spy vs Spy: Form a chain of honest business men "rouges" in the world "underworld
  

• Acquire a base of operations: Either by speaking with the regent or through purchasing it through funds earned from missions
