Hows about a table of random street gangs or criminal organizations suitable for a fantasy world. Thank You!

Choose or roll d8 four times.

Roll 1d8 Organization Type Alignment Basis Reputation
1 Mafia-esque LN Race (or Ethnic) No Reputation (Yet)
2 Cells LN Wealth or Status Despised
3 Small Gang LE Neighborhood Feared
4 Secret Society LE Religion Hooligans
5 Militia N Family or Clan Barely Tolerated
6 In Disguise NE Political Honorable
7 Infiltrators NG Profession Loved
8 Large Conspiracy CN Charismatic Person Legendary

Notes:

Organization Type

In disguise means the organization wears masks or other disguises when they meet–ideally no one knows who anyone else is. Realistically, a mask or a sheet is a terrible disguise.

Infiltrators are a loose organization of “moles.” This is similar to cells, except that almost all members could not identify more than one other member of the organization.

A large conspiracy includes more than one organization. These organizations might even be opposed to one another (at least publicly).

Alignment

Chaotic Neutral organizations might seem a contradiction, unless you realize that not all organizations are effective. This might be an organization that has fallen onto bad or desperate times.
