How To Build a Magic Guild

[Cafe Truck]

Anyone know if there exists any official guidance on how to stat out a magic guild (kind of how Mercenaries has a point system for building a merc company)? How do you handle this in your games?

I thought there was a Rifter article on that very topic, but it was formatted for PFRPG.

Yes, page 123 of the Adventure Guide is where it starts.

That's actually where Secret Organizations and Syndicates starts, page 111 (IIRC) is where information on founding Cities and Towns are, Merc companies and Travelling shows construction rules re-appear here, and page 155 talks about player controlled/run groups in general.
