Generate Underworld Mission

What is this Madness!!!

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) 9 Coins: Gentleman; a landowner, of modest claim, who is not part of the titled nobility. Such men maintain their lands by defending them or through influence of powerful friends. A character like some of the wiser players, perhaps even a retired player character. Inverted, Foreign or Exotic Traveler; a gentleman away from his home, either conducting business or involved in some intrigue. A large number of these men control magical forces or weapons. Patron may have any number of strange customs or mannerisms that also make his behavior repugnant to the players ("I hate foreigners").

Mission:
- King Rods: Perform a ridiculous or insulting task. Inverted, perform a seemingly suicidal task.

Obstacle:
- (Inverted) 5 Coins: World's finest horse breeders or nomadic raiders from distant lands become involved opposed to mission. Inverted, fraternity of scholars (spell casters) or Society of Watchers mistakes the players and their mission more a more important event. Players may be confused by this extra attention, or these magical groups may incorrectly oppose the mission.

Motivation:
- 7 Rods: Single highly important or precious person, object, event or fact is at risk. Inverted, Patron fears for the security of something precious to him; success and Patron is elated -- permanent Friend.

Finances:
- Queen Swords: Purposely provides half that requested or items of inferior quality. Inverted, Patron would provide more, but his financier cheats the players.

Rival:
- (Inverted) Ace Rods: Innkeeper. Inverted, Barfly or Drunkard (usually minor rogue or hero fallen from grace).

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:
