The Guild/3.0

The Guild is a group of LARPers who play their Dungeons & Dragons characters in real life. They are commonly known as The Nerds. They originally met on a LARPing online forum and came to Los Santos to meet in real life for the first time. They do not consider themselves a gang. 
The Guild accept quests from their Stormlord who they worship, aiming to gain more experience and level up through accomplishing them. They earned themselves quite a reputation in the city. This led them to becoming employees at Rooster's Rest through being lured that it's a D&D campaign.
As they embarked on the quests handed to them, the Guild proved themselves as a dedicated and hardworking group, significantly contributing to the successful start of Rooster's Rest. However, they eventually felt a sense of dissatisfaction regarding their payment. Talon was then revealed to them, an organization they have to swore their loyalty to, and made them believe that their Stormlord is the one behind it. They were also convinced to never go out of character and to start fully embracing their character identities. Aiding a lot in the operations and eventually getting a bench of their own, the Guild has become more independent and learned to build connections of their own from all the things they were both exposed and taught with by their mentors and the city.

===Arms Trafficking===
Hidden inside the secret dungeon of their comic store, The Guild keeps a one-of-a-kind workbench to manufacture weapons. This workbench allows them to make pistol and rifle suppressors, scopes, rocket launchers, rockets, and evidence kits. No one else in Los Santos is able to craft these devices, making The Guild the only source. The main resources needed to manufacture these items are copper, rubber, and plastic. Guild members either purchase the necessary materials or collect them while working in garbage disposal.
Distribution of suppressors happens in multiple ways:
*Handouts in disguise. Especially during the initial promotion phase when suppressors weren't widely known yet, Yeager and other Guild members would dress up and silently hand out suppressors for free.
*Dead drops. Yeager contacts buyers from a payphone using a voice changer and sends them an anonymous ping from the location where the suppressor will be left for them to pick up.
*Third party sellers. Over time, The Guild has carefully selected other people to distribute suppressors for them, the first one being Nino Chavez, the second being Mary Mushkin, after her Fiona Stewart, and Tony Corleone. Due to their close affiliation with Talon, which the chosen nerds are also a part of, both Nino and Tony are trusted sellers who know about The Guild's workbench. On the contrary, neither Mary nor Fiona were initially aware that it was The Guild they were working for. All meetings and phone calls were handled with masks and voice changers. After joining The Guild, Fiona was told about the workbench. Mary remains unaware.
For the distribution of rocket launchers and rockets, The Guild had originally planned to hold a special event they referred to as "The Hunt." Yeager anonymously contacted members of various groups and gangs and offered them a rocket launcher for $100,000. This rocket launcher would not come with a rocket, but serve as an entry ticket to The Hunt. The Hunt would be a scavenger hunt and likely fight to the death where each group uses "whichever means necessary" to be the first to obtain the rockets. Rockets could not be bought, The Hunt would the only way to get them. Lang Buddha was the first person in possession of a rocket launcher with a rocket without being required to participate. It was a birthday present from The Guild.
Despite their initial dedication to this plan, The Guild came to the realization that they were not creative enough to think of the clues that would be required to organize such a scavenger hunt. The plan was canceled and rocket launcher sales will be handled more conventionally instead.
Scopes are currently not being sold and evidence kits are only given out in rare cases. Carmella was the first person outside of The Guild to receive an evidence kit, and Lando has used his to built a private blood bank that could be used to incriminate people in the future.
=== #NotAGang===
Despite appearing like a gang to others, the Guild have made it a point to let everyone know that they are not a gang, they are just a group of friends role-playing together. Stagdancer cares deeply about ensuring that they are not registered as a gang by the police. If The Guild was officially acknowledged as a gang, it would give the police more legal means to cross-investigate all Guild members if one member has been involved in a crime, and therefore putting Talon, the production of meth, and their weapons business at a greater risk.
Most recently however, Yeager, being the most impulsive of the Guild members, has started going against this agreement and loudly proclaims that they are a gang and that he is a gang leader (despite The Guild not having an official leader).
===Drugs===
The Guild once were the top meth cooks of Los Santos with two different strains at 100% purity. Gloryon was the first to reach 100%. 
After they left the meth game, only certain members of the Guild became involved in other drugs. Bjorn became involved in weed by assisting Denzel Williams, and Gloryon helped the lifers in prison with their recipe for ketamine.
===Privateers===
On December 1st, Speedy enlisted Bjorn to assemble a team and harass UwU Café farmers and "grinders" at night when the Vagos normally aren't around.
===War Profiteering===
After Lando, Bjorn and Yeager found out about Lost MC's plans of starting a revolution, they decided to approach the group with an offer to supply rocket launchers and rockets for the upcoming war. This sparked an argument about the price and quantity of the weapons within the Guild, with most Guild members favoring five RPGs and 25 rockets for $1,000,000, and Yeager wanting to lower the price to make the deal more affordable for the Lost. Without coming to a mutual agreement, Yeager, Barry, and another Guild member met up with Lost MC later. They offered a severely marked-down deal: ten RPGs and 50 rockets priced at $500,000, a price Bjorn noted was barely profitable. The Lost accepted and utilized the weaponry the next day.
==Vocabulary==
The Guild have developed their own vocabulary which consists of archaic terms to describe modern concepts that would otherwise not fit into their D&D universe. They also refer to everyone outside of the Guild as either "Sir", "Mr" or "Ms" followed by the person's first name (e.g. "Ms Ellie").
