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) Queen Swords: Widow; person whose husband or wife has died; often Mission relates to revenge or unfinished deed. If needed, pick a card "WHO??" to detail the Patron's dead spouse. Inverted, Someone who lost close friend; another uncompleted deed, but this time the person who died was a friend of the Patron.
Mission:
- 9 Swords: Aid an underdog in a dispute. Inverted, aid a repressor or tyrant in a dispute.
Obstacle:
- 4 Cups: Throughout mission, one player will be mistaken for someone else, a person the players don't know. Inverted, at least one player will be recognized and arrested for a previous crime.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) King Cups: Pure and just motive. Inverted, monumental or decisively patriotic motive.
- Tower of Destruction: Patron knows mission will bring about a personal loss, but he is not deterred. Inverted, Patron knows mission will bring personal loss to at least one of the players' families or countries.
Finances:
- (Inverted) Queen Coins: Simple possessions and a pouch of gold. Inverted, Patron has only simple possessions and a pouch of something he will not show - perhaps pearls of high value or maybe just sand - he promises the pouch as the players' reward.
- Star: Patron's finances come from demi-human sources. Inverted, Patron's finances come from demonic, monstrous or magical sources.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 2 Cups: Fanatic or Zealot of Cult. Inverted, Patriot or Renegade from Conquered Land.
