Spacegamer.com - Standard Barony Mission:
This uses the Tarot Card to Generate a "Standard" Mission on the Fly as described in Designing Fantasy Missions as part of the Barony Set. (Standard means it is not focused exclusively on an Underworld.) No attempt is made here to define each of the finer points.
To begin, determine who the mission is offered to and call them the Party Leader (to accept / reject Mission).
Note: This mission is temporary. Copy it out now if you want it. (It pastes nicely into Word.)
Mission Title:
Party Leader:
Patron:
- (Inverted) 7 Swords: Cut-Purse; a minor rogue who makes a living from theft. Patron may be attempting a Mission that does not involve criminal activities ("I'm cleaning up my act"). Inverted, Pickpocket; another criminal, but his method is more subtle. He relies on stealth and deception to gain his goals.
Mission:
- 8 Coins: Organize a party or celebration. Inverted, organize a party at which a kidnap, murder or other intrigue will take place (players may or may not be aware of this intrigue).
Obstacle:
- 9 Rods: On occasion of the next illegal act, the player committing the deed will be noticeably spotted by constables. Inverted, on occasion of the next illegal act, the player committing the deed will be noticeably spotted by by a child or other innocent.
Motivation:
- 9 Swords: Conflict of interest -- Patron must not be identified with job or the outcome. Inverted, conflict of interest, so all actions must remain secret; neither Patron nor players must be identified with the mission.
Finances:
- 4 Coins: One of riches men in the world in coin and lands. Inverted, though rich, Patron refuses to spend any on certain items (Referee decides which items, but weapons are always a good choice -- "you won't see me buying an instrument of death; can't you do the job without resorting to arms"); player must tactfully or deceptively acquire such funding.
Rival:
- Queen Swords: Noble Woman. Inverted, Queen Dowager (mother of monarch).
