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) 6 Swords: Outcast woman with child; players are approached by someone in dire need, often defenseless. This card can also apply to any Patron who has a weakness or vulnerability that must be protected. Inverted, Fugitive; someone who is sought for crimes. The crimes may be long past, but Patron is still pursued. The justice may not be of this world; fugitive may have escaped a cult or ritual that employed demonic forces.
Mission:
- 8 Swords: Asked to perform a Mission in which at least one player is already involved; select a second card to detail this Mission (i.e. locate a thief; one that happen to have taken something earlier from the player). Inverted, perform a Mission in which one player is already involved, but he will not yet know the full impact. Player may personally benefit or lose from the Mission success (i.e. hide an item, that unknowingly was sought by a player's more knightly brother).
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) 3 Cups: Ruling monarch or emperor is aware and concerned of mission. Inverted, foreign emperor or ruler will send special agents to stop players.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 5 Cups: Legal, moral or political motive. Inverted, secure rights that present rulers or governments do not recognize.
Finances:
- (Inverted) Knave Cups: Outwardly without means; secretly has great wealth. Inverted, Patron claims to have no wealth, but secretly he has much; players recognize this fraud.
Rival:
- 7 Swords: Hideously Disfigured Hero. Inverted, Insane or Cursed Hero.
