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:
- Queen Swords: Widow; person whose husband or wife has died; often Mission relates to revenge or unfinished deed. If needed, pick a card "WHO??" to detail the Patron's dead spouse. Inverted, Someone who lost close friend; another uncompleted deed, but this time the person who died was a friend of the Patron.
Mission:
- (Inverted) 3 Coins: Burn a manor, village, vessel or business warehouse. Inverted, burn a manor, village, vessel or business warehouse, but insure no one is injured in the arson.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) 8 Rods: As scenario develops, Patron will become more and more untrusting of the players. Inverted, Patron eventually tries to replace players' group with loyal agents.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 10 Cups: Lacks confidence in his ability. Inverted, over estimates his abilities.
Finances:
- King Cups: Without wealth or friends; hopes players will extend credit or share in the profits at the end. Inverted, Patron hopes players will extend credit to fund the mission, but he is notorious for default on previous loans.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 2 Coins: Mercenary. Inverted, Assassin.
- (Inverted) Judgement: Person is someone other than he appears; pick another card for true identity ("WHO??"). Inverted, this becomes obvious to players once they meet the person (at that time switch to true identity).
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:
