life’s good ltd.

lawful good

the lg ltd.’s only purpose is lawful good

how they turn a profit is everyone’s question but their single minded persecution of chaotic evil causes all others to never want to fall that far

lg ltd has no corporate rivals

lg ltd.'s only corporate enemy is the noble knife

justice inc.

lawful neutral

the company motto is “justice isn’t free” which sums up their entire business model

justice for those that can afford it

justice inc.'s corporate enemies are the noble knife and dran enterprises

hugo boss

lawful evil

what’s the point of conquering all the available markets if you don’t look good doing it?

no corporate franchisee looks as good as a hugo bosses franchisee

for that truly medieval gothic look it has to be hugo bosses

hugo bosses corporate enemies are silver sliver, dran enterprises and the noble knife

eight

true good

the eight is a group who were left hurt, under-appreciated, or even possibly dead but who clings to true good

who or what is truly behind the group — and what other sinister vendettas they might cling to — remains a mystery

still, there’s a good chance it’s got something to do with abominations or fey or both

and destroying the world they absolutely want to destroy the world says their corporate rivals

the corporate enemies of the six include the scp foundation, and the noble knife

acquisitions incorporated

true neutral

acquisitions incorporated has consistently maintained a position at the bleeding edge of adventuring technology, processes, and marketing

the staff of acquisitions incorporated engage in all aspects of adventuring, salvage, legally sanctioned life shortening, property redistribution, protection, removing protection, and merchandising

acquisitions incorporated's association with devils is purely a contractual arrangement

acquisitions incorporated's corporate rivals include the scp foundation, dran enterprises, and the noble knife

the scp foundation

true evil

the scp foundation specializes in securing, containing, and protecting, but they are extremely vague on what exactly it is they secure, contain, or protect

even so if the price is right they will do one, two, or all three as requested

if what needs securing, containing, or protecting is of interest to them they will often do it for free!

especially if it is in opposition to its corporate rivals

the scp foundation's corporate enemies include the eight, acquisitions incorporated, the silver sliver, dran enterprises, and the noble knife

the silver sliver

(chaotic good)

the silver sliver exemplifies what goes wrong when good people fail to grasp the complexities of the world

the silver sliver go around wearing masks, acting all heroically, willy-nilly righting wrongs and defending the weak … for no profit whatsoever!

that brand of zealotry is dangerous, because you can’t trust anyone who won’t sometimes do a less than a good day’s work for an full day’s wage

the sliver sliver's corporate rivals include justice inc., acquisitions incorporated, and dran enterprises

the silver sliver's corporate enemies include hugo boss, the scp, and the noble knife

dran enterprises

chaotic neutral

dran enterprises is the biggest rival of almost everyone

dran enterprises has a well-established goal of wanting to take over everything at almost any cost

dran enterprises’ strategy for accomplishing this goal is built around providing adventuring services even more ruthlessly and efficiently than all other

hostile takeovers, brutal rounds of downsizing, corporate espionage, and highly unethical behavior are just the most obvious of the company’s many tools

the organization focuses on the beating other's at their own game while growing ever more powerful

eventually reaching the point where a corporate takeover of the others can no longer be thwarted

dran enterprises' franchisees are demons to acquisition incorporated's devils

dran enterprises' corporate enemies include justice inc., acquisitions incorporated, hugo boss, the scp, and the noble knife

the noble knife

chaotic evil

the noble knife is a somewhat mysterious organization known for its high level of engagement with assassination

the noble knife is named for its members’ weapon of choice for their trademark deed

similar to a weapon of slaying a noble knife is a weapon whose magic is focused on killing a specific type of creature

the crafting of a noble knife is undertaken by a collective of artisans and requires a range of exotic materials and components

it goes without saying that the noble knife is chock full of true believers

recovering and returning a noble knife earns one renown with the noble knife or two if the creature holding the noble knife makes its possession of the noble knife common knowledge

corporate enemies of the noble knife include absolutely every other corporation

corporate alignments

a corporation's alignment does not mean the franchisees have to have to be that alignment

a corporation would never ask you to do anything that would violate the rules of their alignment

lawful corporations grant renown to true creatures at -5 or chaotic creatures at -10

true corporations grant renown to chaotic creatures at -5

good corporations grant renown to neutral creatures at -5 or evil creatures at -10

neutral corporations grant renown to evil creatures at -5

corporate culture

corporate culture is best defined as a unwavering belief in free markets with a mba's sensibilities

everything is defined by corporate policies and procedures

for instance

all plunder is divided evenly between the franchises that participated with half going to the franchise

all items must be sold at market prices

items can be bought but only at current market prices

if two or more franchisees want an item it goes to auction

no item can be just directly transferred to a franchise without compensation
