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:
- 5 Coins: Invalid; person injured or magically cursed so that he is physically handicapped -- no longer can walk, hands feeble, disfigured. Mission will almost always have a Motive of revenge, so do not pick a card for Motive (or ignore picked card). Inverted, Blind Man; a person who has lost his sight. He may have overcome this weakness by ability or magic.
Mission:
- (Inverted) 8 Swords: Asked to perform a Mission in which at least one player is already involved; select a second card to detail this Mission (i.e. locate a thief; one that happen to have taken something earlier from the player). Inverted, perform a Mission in which one player is already involved, but he will not yet know the full impact. Player may personally benefit or lose from the Mission success (i.e. hide an item, that unknowingly was sought by a player's more knightly brother).
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) 6 Coins: Patron is followed by assassin from past unrelated deed. Inverted, Patron will be poisoned, during the scenario.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 3 Coins: Seeks long term financial return. Inverted, seeks to secure a monopoly on trade.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 4 Rods: Friend or relative is a guildmaster and controls trade; however, no guarantee anything can be obtained. Inverted, Patron has a Friend or relative that is a guildmaster, but gaining any of these finances requires a prior mission.
Rival:
- 6 Cups: Regent of Mines. Inverted, Leader City Workers.
- (Inverted) Wheel of Fortune: Reshuffle the deck and continue.
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:
