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:
- King Coins: Traveling Foreign Noble; landowner or baron, but one who is away from his jurisdiction. Mission often places the Patron in direct violation of the laws of the area. Inverted, Ambassador or Emissary; a person who represents the interests of a foreign monarch or powerful personage in another land. Mission may not relate to intrigue (though that's often the end result), and instead the Patron may be busy in counsel and needs players to handle personal matters.
Mission:
- 5 Cups: Organize a militia force and lead them into battle. Inverted, organize a militia force and lead them into battle against a nonhuman force.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) 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) 3 Coins: Seeks long term financial return. Inverted, seeks to secure a monopoly on trade.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 5 Swords: Working under set fund that will not be exceeded. Inverted, Patron has a set amount from which his profit is also taken; he doesn't want all of this fund spent.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 2 Coins: Mercenary. Inverted, Assassin.
Phases
