Magical Bureaucracy: The Grand Guild of Stolen Permissions

In the sprawling, marble-and-brass city of Ledgerra, nothing happens without official documentation. You can’t pickpocket without a “Minor Petty Theft Permit,” can’t duel without a “Public Conflict Notice,” and gods forbid you enchant a chair without the “Furniture Enhancement License, Form 87-B.” The Guilds hold all the power—and all the permits. The twist? There is a crew that runs an underground operation, stealing permits before the crime, so their clients can pull off impossible heists without magical enforcers descending. It’s part Robin Hood, part office supply raid, part interdimensional paperwork war. ---- Notes: - This was inspired by the show Leverage — play as Parker, but with magic, and a heavy emphasis on the absurdity that comes with magical bureaucracy.
