Let's not oversimplify either genres. There are fantasy stories that don't fit into the traditional hero fantasies that (modern) D&D revolves around and there are plenty of sci-fi settings that would be a fine fit for a simple heroic fantasy game.
Computer games do both fine, for instance. That is, fit their gameplay into both fantasy and sci-fi universes (even if it's only the 'skin'). I don't get the impression that there's the huge gulf in how much that market uses the 2 genres/settings that there is with rpgs.

I did some guilds and organizations for various folks 🙂
Some set in D&D 2nd ed. Mystara. Some of these were already presented in the Gazetteers and I took some liberties in fleshing them out. Like different guilds active (openly or not) in Karameikos aka Spekularum. In addition I created some guilds or organizations of my own for said setting, like a halfling run flying mini-pegasi mail service, or a pacifistic lizardmen church.
For Living Greyhawk, I created a monastic order of pacifists . . . it never came into being, as the rules for Meta Organizations were drastically changed 😪. It was basicallly for a character of mine, a half-orc monk.
For an organization, I follow certain scheme. First checking if there may be already an organization with the intended aim . . . if so, just use it 😉 after the necessary changes.
If not, just determine the basics one needs and try to fit them into a suitable story.
Make sure to have the basics written down somewhere . . . like aim, name, alias, top members, contact points, standing with the officials etc.
