Gangs of War (Campaign aspect)

Here's one for you DM's that want the player have to deal with intercity gang politics

The players' hub area in simple terms, is gang infested. The players at many points though there campaign will be heckled, mugged, threatened & bribed by the local gangs. The players can take it as it is & just allow this to happen, OR they can get involved. They can try & either empower one of the gangs to become so powerful that they can't be abused, basically causing peace though one central authority, or they can try to eliminate all the gangs making them a threat to the gangs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Possible Gang actions: (Stuff the gangs do, every so often, that annoy the players & does more world building)

Authority Bribe: A local gang has bribed a guard int he area, that guard will not arrest ANY crime being committed around them for an hour. During this hour the gang will do something very illegal & do that very illegal thing publicly. This will show the players that they can bribe the local guards & if they notice that someone has already done this, they can commit a crime during this time.

Business extort; A local gang has recently extorted a business which the players may or may not go to regularly. This will cause the business to 'slow down' making them have less wares. If the situation does not improve for the business they will go out of business. This can affect the player's via them having to spend more at a shop they frequent & or causing that business to close.

Fire Bomb: A local gang has recently decided that the best course of action for solving an issues was to just burn that place down & have someone else deal with it. This affects the players by having a place they have gone to burn down causing it to have to be rebuilt over a period of time.

Mugging: A local gang member thought that mugging the players/someone the players know was a great idea. This will affect the players due to them either getting mugged or having someone they know getting mugged (can lead to an encounter with the gang member)
