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 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:
- 9 Rods: Organize repairs on an important warship, bridge, roadway or fortress. Inverted, plan and construct an important warship, bridge, roadway or fortress.
Obstacle:
- 8 Swords: Players will feel constantly cheated during scenario. Inverted, if scenario reaches Climax, players will feel so violated in their trust, that they must forever change the attitude in which they role-play their characters.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) Queen Cups: Capture love or attention of another mindful of mission. Inverted, trying to capture the attention of someone; but regardless of players' success, this will not happen, and players will be blamed.
Finances:
- (Inverted) King Rods: Wealthy, but without local power and influence. Inverted, Patron was once the leading government official; he has wealth, but has since lost political power.
Rival:
- 3 Cups: Guildmaster. Inverted, Craftsman.
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:
