I have used both Harry Turtledove's "Agent of Byzantium," and L. Sprague DeCamp's "Lest Darkness Fall" as inspiration for how to use a Mechanician's guild. Also if you have David Hargrave's "Arduin Grimoire" and especially his Treasure cards, then you have a lot for the Mechanician's Guild to do. I never allowed the actual Treasure's to be used in the game, but as found stuff, they were great, especially since they were obviously valuable but no one had any idea how much they were worth, especially since they were often unique.
