I don't want a super-powered Wizards' Guild either, but (probably not what you meant, but) I don't think the guild having a desire for all wizards to be in the guild (and so not wanting Staff to be a barrier to entry) would inevitably lead to that. Our assumptions were the WG may want to have as many wizards belong to them as possible, but WG factions and national and other divides and non-complying wizards and general chaos and independent-mindedness meant W Guilds were powerful but fractured and certainly not omnipresent nor offering anywhere near most of the level of operations hcobb tends to write about.

I agree.

Will share when ready. But I have too much work, too many games, too much other, too perfectionist, etc.
