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:
- Knave Swords: Female Warrior; another example of chauvinism, in that despite her prowess, Patron is not respected or has no legal right to bear arms. Feminist overtones ("women are superior to men") are a must for proper role-play. Inverted, Female in Man's Attire; Patron appears to be male, but is in fact a female who disguises her identity; players should discover this fact sometime during the scenario. Since the female disguises her sex, she may be hiding from a suitor, past lover, cultural taboos, etc.
Mission:
- 2 Rods: Join a pirate or Viking ship's crew. Inverted, join a warship that hunts pirates or sets off to destroy a Rival's ship.
Obstacle:
- 3 Swords: Foreign emissary, spy or assassin is somehow involved and will try to thwart the mission. Inverted, a Friend of one of the players has had his mind and allegiance swayed to the Rival through the use of magical forces.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 4 Coins: Change land boundaries or trade routes. Inverted, change land boundaries between countries at war.
Finances:
- Knight Cups: Controls or has access to a local armory. Inverted, Patron controls an armory, but it is ill-equipped or lacking variety.
Rival:
- 6 Swords: Duelist. Inverted, Avenger or Queen's Champion.
- Temperance: Person is marked by a very distinctive feature (i.e. scars, hair color, missing fingers, etc.); anyone seeing the person will remember him. Inverted, not a physical appearance, but mannerism or accent that people can't forget.
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:
