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) Knight Rods: Marshal of Land or General of Several Armies; a commander with size and number of armed units dependent upon the country he serves. The nation need not be at war, since large standing armies can be funded by large empires. This Patron is not an independent commander; he obeys the orders of his ruler (at least for the moment). Often, troops swear loyalty to a monarch and country, but their true allegiance is to a cause and a leader. His Mission need not relate to the movement of armies; this man may have personal affairs that he can not personally resolve (thus he solicits the players). Inverted, Chivalrous Knight; a warrior who has a code of honor by which he lives and fights. Chivalry in the face of such fantasy perversion as monsters and magic is hard to maintain -- the more gallant the man, the more powerful his individual prowess. Often Patron will aspire, but fall short of his moral code.
Mission:
- (Inverted) 10 Rods: Scout for an army. Inverted, spy in foreign lands.
Obstacle:
- Knight Coins: Many different interest groups have banded together to oppose the mission. Inverted, the most unusual of people oppose the mission.
Motivation:
- 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:
- Queen Swords: Purposely provides half that requested or items of inferior quality. Inverted, Patron would provide more, but his financier cheats the players.
Rival:
- King Rods: Monarch's Wizard or Vizier. Inverted, Independent Magician.
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.
