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) 4 Cups: Warden; a man tasked by a Baron or other powerful land owner to patrol his frontiers and rid the land of monsters and bandits. Inverted, Man obsessed on Goal or Someone who Seeks Revenge; a person with a Mission or Motive that is often illegal. Players may not be asked to commit crime themselves, but their Mission's completion will aid the Patron toward his illegal end. The obsession of the Patron may also cause the request to be "an offer that can't be refused" (without starting a fight).
Mission:
- (Inverted) 8 Cups: Serve on a voyage as part of a ship's crew. Inverted, hunt and destroy a hideous sea monster that has threatened trade.
Obstacle:
- 9 Cups: Must traverse many unexplored or rugged-arduous miles of both land and water before entering Climax. Inverted, accidentally cross an area where a wizard conducts powerful conjuration that changes physical laws over nature -- "why don't my arrows fly straight?"
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 4 Rods: Monetary gamble, but with high pay off. Inverted, low money gain, but assured chance of success with patience.
Finances:
- King Rods: Wealthy, but without local power and influence. Inverted, Patron was once the leading government official; he has wealth, but has since lost political power.
Rival:
- (Inverted) King Coins: Shylock or Money-lender. Inverted, Miser of Great Wealth.
Phases
On the way to the Mission Climax, the Party will travel through three game Phases which may be short or long (depending on the Tarot cards drawn). These represent the obstacles and challenges along the way to the Ultimate Climax of the Mission.
(A) Initial Successes:
(B) Challenges on the Journey:
(C) Final Travel to the Climax:
Climax Flow:
Referee creates the flow of the climax OR refer to Designing Fantasy Missions!!!
