Unscientific? Us? :-)

Magicians' Guild

We have. I just checked the book (Section 131) and it says "Magicians Guild" (no apostrophe).

magician's guild

Magician's Guild

Nope. Section 56 illustration caption uses the apostrophe.

05sots
12tmod

No real consensus, but there's definitely a preference for the
possessive. The problem is that I doubt that any form of "magician's"
(singular possessive) is correct. I vote for "Magicians' Guild",
"Thieves' Guild" and so on.

OK, I'll fix TMC. unless I add more to the edits list (which may well happen!), feel free to alter these issues when adding to the editor Companion.
