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:
- Knight Swords: Insane Hero; person who has lost sense of reality and seeks only the completion of his Mission. Whatever Motive is selected will take on fanatic obsession. Players will sense the uncontrolled desire in the Patron; but, depending upon the reward, they may become such themselves. Inverted, Hero Feeble from Age; person of past honor or legend who returns for a final request. Patron himself can not take part in the deed, but he implores the players to accept. All Finances of Patron are offered; as said this is a final request. If the players are more wickedly minded, they found the perfect sap for deceit ("he's givin' us the money; let's flee").
Mission:
- Ace Coins: Supervise mundane tasks or duties (i.e. oversee the painting of a wagon). Inverted, supervise mundane tasks or duties, at least duties that appear mundane; they in fact cover a greater plot (i.e. painting of wagon ensures it will not be moved; in fact, the wagon covers a hole under the city wall that will be used at nightfall to secretly bring a spy into the city).
Obstacle:
- Knave Rods: Most comely woman will become accidentally involved. Inverted, a comely woman who is actually a spy for the opposition.
- (Inverted) Lovers: The main Rival is twins. Inverted, one of the player's closest relatives (possibly father, else son, wife or brother) has joined opposition.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 3 Rods: Raw power and advancement in social position. Inverted, usurp rule of the land for himself or aid another pretender.
Finances:
- (Inverted) Queen Swords: Purposely provides half that requested or items of inferior quality. Inverted, Patron would provide more, but his financier cheats the players.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 6 Swords: Duelist. Inverted, Avenger or Queen's Champion.
