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:
- 7 Rods: Constable or Sheriff; a person whose tasked with maintaining order and enforcing the laws of the land, usually inside a city or town. Many of these men work directly for the warden; but, they enjoy increased autonomy when times are dangerous, and the warden is busy along the borders. Mission almost always involves the Patron's duties, but not always apprehending criminals. Many of these men are so corrupt or drunk with their own power, that they frequently violate all manner of laws to enforce simple ordinances. Inverted, Vigilantes or Woman Wronged; a person who takes the law into his own hands in an effort to secure justice ("however warped that may be"). Mission relates to the vigilante's plans, though perhaps not directly in revenge.
Mission:
- (Inverted) 6 Cups: Spy, observe and obtain mercantile (trade and craft) information. Inverted, spy, observe and obtain information on a castle construction or fortress enhancement.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) 8 Swords: Players will feel constantly cheated during scenario. Inverted, if scenario reaches Climax, players will feel so violated in their trust, that they must forever change the attitude in which they role-play their characters.
Motivation:
- Knave Rods: Remorseful and depressed by recent event. Inverted, suicidal -- cares nothing of mission and hopes battle will bring death.
Finances:
- Knave Coins: Private cache of a thousand coins hidden close by. Inverted, Patron has a private cache of coins in a base currency - copper - maybe one-thousandth the value of gold; he'll claim he has plenty of coins (and he does), but will pay only after the deed is done.
Rival:
- (Inverted) Queen Swords: Noble Woman. Inverted, Queen Dowager (mother of monarch).
