Hello fellow nerds.
I’m planning the 2026 campaign for my group, and one of the drivers of the plot will be a turn war between various guilds involved in the Waterdeep docks, and the Red Sashes involved as well.
Does anyone know of any good source material or campaign books featuring warring rogue factions?
Waterdeep Dragon Heist is, I believe, intended to have a conflict between the Xanathar’s Thieves Guild and Zhentarim. I know when we ran it, the DM noted that we had actually managed to avoid some campaign material by resisting getting associated with either guild. But I’ve only seen it from a player’s perspective, so I’m not sure how deep or detailed it goes.
I recently ran it. I don’t think there’s too much documented about the conflict.
Ah well, fair enough.
I wish I did, but all I can suggest is to look into conspiramids. They’re a handy tool that helps GMs plan large organizations, and prompts you to build interlinking clues that tie scenes together.
