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) 6 Swords: Outcast woman with child; players are approached by someone in dire need, often defenseless. This card can also apply to any Patron who has a weakness or vulnerability that must be protected. Inverted, Fugitive; someone who is sought for crimes. The crimes may be long past, but Patron is still pursued. The justice may not be of this world; fugitive may have escaped a cult or ritual that employed demonic forces.
Mission:
- (Inverted) Queen Cups: Deliver legal writs or important documents for the government. Inverted, deliver legal writs or important documents for the government that involve the players' lands, ships, castles, soldiers or wealth; documents do not necessarily hurt the players, unless their delivery is stopped.
- Empress: Mission will lead the players into private deals with nobles. Inverted, nobles not entirely loyal to a monarch's throne.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) 2 Coins: Peasants ("common folk that normally aren't even noticed by the players") will misunderstand mission and become rowdy, disrespectful or dangerous if players' task is made known to them. Inverted, all peasants met seem indignant and a hindrance.
Motivation:
- Ace Coins: Better oneself for past deeds or clear up loose end. Inverted, calm his conscious not add to the deceit.
Finances:
- 10 Rods: Clout to marshal and billet an army. Inverted, though perhaps having the clout to marshal an army, he could not afford to billet them -- has many friends also of no means.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 7 Cups: Alchemist. Inverted, Perverse Scientist or Vivisectionist.
- (Inverted) Lovers: Person is mistress or paramour of another pick ("WHO??"). Inverted, a long forgotten lover or paramour.
- (Inverted) Death: Person is currently wounded or ill. Inverted, will die from wound sometime during scenario.
