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) King Rods: Landed Noble; a Baron or other high born official who governs an area under the authority of a more powerful emperor or monarch. In these more troubled times, as kings loose their rights and their kingdoms are being dismantled, such a man may wield unrestricted power in an area ("here I am the law"). Inverted, Urban Aristocrat; a lord who manages and rules a city or port for a more powerful emperor or monarch. As with baron, this city may only pay lip-service or bear false allegiance to the rightful king or emperor.
Mission:
- (Inverted) 8 Cups: Serve on a voyage as part of a ship's crew. Inverted, hunt and destroy a hideous sea monster that has threatened trade.
Obstacle:
- Ace Swords: World's finest (non-player) swordsman is involved as an agent of the opposition (usually a person who must be combated with magic). Inverted, Rival has a servant or enslaved demon that is immune to the adverse effects of magic (usually means creature must be combated with special weapon or basic force of blows).
Motivation:
- Knave Coins: Establish positions for additional tariffs or tolls. Inverted, justify additional taxes or tithes.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 9 Coins: Can steal or illegally acquire anything needed for job. Inverted, Patron can steal anything for the players, but the item must be available (i.e. in the area) to steal; Patron will not leave area to meet players demands.
Rival:
- 10 Coins: Secretive Sage. Inverted, Eccentric Collector.
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.
