Guilded is a game about characters, groups, and their stories. You play as the leader of an Adventurers Guild, where you send adventurers on quests, accounting for how well they work together based on their skills, personalities, and relationships with one another.
You are the new Guildmaster of an adventuring guild, and you have ambitions. You will assemble a team of the greatest adventurers to ever live, whose accomplishments will go down in history, and whose feats will be talked of for generations. They will bring glory and fame to your establishment, and then, while on the most innocuous of quests, your legendary adventurer team will get into a heated argument about the ethics of necromancy, and it gets so out of hand that they all now hate one another and refuse to work together.
