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) 5 Coins: Invalid; person injured or magically cursed so that he is physically handicapped -- no longer can walk, hands feeble, disfigured. Mission will almost always have a Motive of revenge, so do not pick a card for Motive (or ignore picked card). Inverted, Blind Man; a person who has lost his sight. He may have overcome this weakness by ability or magic.
Mission:
- 7 Coins: Cut off supplies to and from a remote mine or island. Inverted, smuggle or force passage of supplies to a besieged city, fortress, island or mine.
Obstacle:
- 5 Swords: Woman (having influence over husband with wealth and power) becomes involved opposed to mission. Inverted, a former lover of the Patron becomes involved opposed to mission.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) King Cups: Pure and just motive. Inverted, monumental or decisively patriotic motive.
Finances:
- (Inverted) Knight Coins: Gives only an amulet and says "gods will provide the rest" (Referee decides to what degree the amulte "provides"). Inverted, Patron gives only a "word of magical power" and says magic forces will protect the players (whether they do is at Referee's discretion).
Rival:
- (Inverted) 3 Rods: Ship Owner or Ship Builder. Inverted, Master Navigator or Seamen.
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!!!
Come on Back and maybe we'll have a generator in for you. Otherwise, use the Temple and Castles from our Legacy tools. (Hey, or buy the books!!!!!)
