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) 10 Swords: Betrayed Victim; Patron feels cheated and wants revenge. Mission will relate to this personal vendetta; do not pick a card for Motive (or ignore pick). Inverted, Wounded Hero; Patron is wounded warrior, though he may hide such a fact. The wound had to come from someone, so either pick an extra card for Opposition or select two main Rivals (one opposed to this Mission, the other from the Patron's previous. Treat second rival as "WHO??").
Mission:
- (Inverted) Ace Cups: Kidnap someone. Inverted, divert or remove a person from a location for specified period of time.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) Knave Swords: Rival has a servant that's a champion brawler or wrestler. Inverted, Rival has exotic pets or controls a demon or monster through the use of magic.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) Ace Coins: Better oneself for past deeds or clear up loose end. Inverted, calm his conscious not add to the deceit.
- High Priestess: Patron believes he is invincible and rightly so; mere mention of his name brings terror to opposition. Inverted, Patron is a fanatic-zealot to his cause.
Finances:
- 10 Coins: Wealthy, but untrusting of people; anything Patron provides will be acquired only after pleading and guaranteeing loyalty. Inverted, Patron is wealthy, but doesn't trust anyone of this country -- players must hire foreigners.
Rival:
- (Inverted) Knight Swords: Necromancer. Inverted, Leader of Dark One's Cult.
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.
