Classic Thieves guilds????

[Jim Paterson]

How do you represent a classic D&D theives guild in Birthright?

I use the "covert holding" rules I found at a web site, and say the
guild can't be taxed by law holdings or contested until it's discovered
by a successful espionage action.

comments or better ideas????

That's sounds pretty good. Since Theives can use Espionage actions as free
actions, they can keep their guilds hidden very well, and for a long time.

I'm not sure, however, if a Covert/Traditional Thieve's Guild can own trade
Routes. Unless they owned them through "front" businesses.

Take a look at the OCP homepage, and see how we came to represent the
Guilds by defining their structure within the Imperial City.
