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) 2 Coins: Performer, Juggler, or Singers of Poems; an entertainer. In fantasy world often these men can charm or use minor illusions to increase their deceptions. These men are also often paramours (illicit lovers) of powerful nobles (noblewoman) or fleeing prosecution for other minor crimes. Inverted, Artist or Sculptor; controversial figure who creates images that are craved by ruling nobles. Almost all of these men will have a more powerful Patron of their own, who will not approve of the artist's hiatus in work to conduct an adventure.
Mission:
- Knight Rods: Join a unit of soldiers and cause their moral to decline, eventually disorder and finally rebel. Inverted, go to sea and organize a mutiny of a ship's crew.
Obstacle:
- 4 Rods: Local government and constables will approach to try and stop mission right at start. Inverted, local group of thieves will approach to try and stop mission right at start.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 7 Cups: Formalize his position and status. Inverted, prove his capability under duress.
- Judgement: Patron will not be satisfied with the way players proceed or complete the mission (Patron's dissatisfaction in the aftermath will not result in him befriending the players). Inverted, if possible, Patron will want mission redone another way.
Finances:
- 5 Rods: Modest means, but willing to borrow extensively. Inverted, Patron has limited means but is willing to borrow, provided players will vouch his ability to repay or countersign as guarantors on the loans.
Rival:
- 6 Coins: Highwayman. Inverted, Phantom Bandit or Disguised Rogue.
