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:
- 5 Swords: Person who looks like another, Con-man or Opportunist; Patron will be mistaken for another. Pick a card "WHO??" for the identity of the look alike. This deception may be played in order to entice the players unwittingly into a deal. Inverted, Shape-Changer; deception is created by magical means. From this point on, the players are in danger -- if not from Patron, from powerful adversary they would have better sense not to face.
Mission:
- (Inverted) 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:
- Knight Coins: Many different interest groups have banded together to oppose the mission. Inverted, the most unusual of people oppose the mission.
Motivation:
- 6 Swords: Fame and wide recognition. Inverted, prevent fame of another or stop blackmail to himself or another.
- (Inverted) Magician: Patron sees opportunity now, because an overshadowing important event has brought a chance of success. Inverted, event is in another land.
- Chariot: Patron has just returned from travels; his reason relates to this. Inverted, someone Patron knows has returned from travels; reasons relate to this.
Finances:
- 7 Cups: Neither very wealthy or very poor, yet has anything required for the scenario -- Referee use discretion. Inverted, Patron has anything needed for the mission, but it takes him time to acquire these items (the more unusual the more time -- Referee decides).
Rival:
- (Inverted) King Coins: Shylock or Money-lender. Inverted, Miser of Great Wealth.
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!!!
