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) Knave Coins: Journeyman, Tinker, Vendor or Monger; simple folks who make a living by trading in common wares. Do not pick a Finance card (or ignore picked card). This selection is similar to the peasant, another underdog. Inverted, Miner, Tradesman or Unskilled Laborer; an even more impoverished fellow who earns barely a living from working with his hands. Do not pick a Finance card (or ignore picked card), but also do not pick Other Opposition (or ignore pick). Missions from these folks tend to be direct, without many if any Encounters from travel.
Mission:
- 6 Coins: Bury, hide, alter or obscure an item. Inverted, acquire and restore an item that has been hidden or altered.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) Ace Coins: World's richest man is opposed to mission. Inverted, seemingly whole world knows of mission and players. Though whole world is not opposed, it may seem like such; surprise is not possible for the players, and Rival seems to know their every move.
Motivation:
- 2 Cups: Enraged by something that happened. Inverted, divinely motivated or magically controlled.
Finances:
- (Inverted) Knave Cups: Outwardly without means; secretly has great wealth. Inverted, Patron claims to have no wealth, but secretly he has much; players recognize this fraud.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 2 Rods: Whore or Harlot. Inverted, Adulteress or Noble's Mistress.
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!!!
Come on Back and maybe we'll have a generator in for you. Otherwise, use the Temple and Castles from our Legacy tools. (Hey, or buy the books!!!!!)
