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) 10 Swords: Betrayed Victim; Patron feels cheated and wants revenge. Mission will relate to this personal vendetta; do not pick a card for Motive (or ignore pick). Inverted, Wounded Hero; Patron is wounded warrior, though he may hide such a fact. The wound had to come from someone, so either pick an extra card for Opposition or select two main Rivals (one opposed to this Mission, the other from the Patron's previous. Treat second rival as "WHO??").
Mission:
- (Inverted) 5 Coins: Map and document a location, place or area in detail. Note, not all of these places need to be underworlds; the players may be asked to provide layouts of buildings that others plan to rob or fortresses that others plan to attack. Inverted, destroy a map that describes and documents the contents of a building or place.
Obstacle:
- Knave Rods: Most comely woman will become accidentally involved. Inverted, a comely woman who is actually a spy for the opposition.
- (Inverted) Wheel of Fortune: Reshuffle the deck and continue.
- (Inverted) Emperor: Mission is treason in one (or all) player's homeland. Inverted, during the mission, all players with magical ability will temporarily lose these powers.
Motivation:
- Queen Swords: Sexual desires, bigamy or lust. Inverted, sexual desires or lust for one player; mission is excuse to be together.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 8 Cups: Acts extravagant and highly cultured; wears fine cloths and jewelry, but has nothing else. Inverted, Patron outwardly poses as a rich and cultured fellow; but though he has a few servitors who likewise dress well, he has no means of support for the mission.
Rival:
- (Inverted) Queen Rods: Powerful Woman. Inverted, Notorious for Crimes.
