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) 7 Cups: Former Patron or Employer; a person who has done business (usually successful) with the players before. Inverted, Friend in Need; a person who a player has befriended. In some cases may also be a family, clan or acquaintance from mutual activities (a drinking buddy, another acolyte in training, fraternity brother, fellow guardsmen, etc).
Mission:
- 6 Coins: Bury, hide, alter or obscure an item. Inverted, acquire and restore an item that has been hidden or altered.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) Queen Swords: Patron is bastard, opposed by father or relatives. Inverted, Patron is a legal heir, opposed by a bastard brother.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) Knave Swords: Mission not significant to justify Patron's direct involvement. Inverted, Mission is not important to justify Patron's direct involvement, so he sends a trusted NPC to accompany the players.
Finances:
- 7 Swords: Will give a one of a kind gift for services. Inverted, Patron will offer a one of a kind gift to the players for their services; however, after the mission, he will regret the loss and try to buy back this special gift. If players say "no deal", Patron becomes incensed.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 3 Coins: Forester or Ranger. Inverted, Druid or Elf.
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:
Climax Flow:
Referee creates the flow of the climax OR refer to Designing Fantasy Missions!!!
