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:
- Knight Swords: Insane Hero; person who has lost sense of reality and seeks only the completion of his Mission. Whatever Motive is selected will take on fanatic obsession. Players will sense the uncontrolled desire in the Patron; but, depending upon the reward, they may become such themselves. Inverted, Hero Feeble from Age; person of past honor or legend who returns for a final request. Patron himself can not take part in the deed, but he implores the players to accept. All Finances of Patron are offered; as said this is a final request. If the players are more wickedly minded, they found the perfect sap for deceit ("he's givin' us the money; let's flee").
Mission:
- (Inverted) 10 Coins: Travel as a companion or escort to foreign lands. Inverted, travel as a companion, but players and Patron travel incognito (assume a simpler role).
Obstacle:
- Knight Cups: Treachery in the group will lead to false accusations and threats among the players. Inverted, Patron will become suspect during scenario.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) Knight Rods: Desperate and needs aid. Inverted, appears to be desperate, but possibly not.
- Sun: Patron was recently promoted or recognized by the monarch; reason relates to this change of position. Inverted, Patron was recently discredited or refused promotion by his monarch; reason relates to this loss.
Finances:
- Queen Swords: Purposely provides half that requested or items of inferior quality. Inverted, Patron would provide more, but his financier cheats the players.
- (Inverted) Hanged Man: Patron is providing more than he can truly afford to offer. Inverted, Patron only offers that which means little; in reality he could give quite more.
Rival:
- 7 Rods: Lord of Port. Inverted, Urban Aristocrat.
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:
