Synopsis

📘 Guild Jobs: 101 One-Page Thieves’ Guild Missions for Tabletop RPGs

A complete toolbox of heists, cons, robberies, relic thefts, and legendary shadow-jobs — perfect for any fantasy RPG campaign that features rogues, criminals, cutpurses, or full-fledged thieves’ guilds.

Guild Jobs is a system-neutral book containing 101 fully detailed one-page missions, each written like a contract posted on a guild wall: who’s paying, what needs to be stolen, how dangerous it is, what skills will be tested, what rewards are offered, and what secrets lie beneath the surface.

Whether you need a quick side quest, a downtime job between adventures, a full thieves’ campaign — or just want to make your world feel like it actually has an underworld economy — this book gives you zero-prep, drop-in content at every level of play.

✅ What’s Inside

✔️ 101 one-page jobs, ranked from 1-star street scams to 5-star legendary heists

✔️ A visual flowchart map of how to build a full thieves’ guild storyline
✔️ 3 detailed indexes for fast reference:
