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:
- Queen Swords: Widow; person whose husband or wife has died; often Mission relates to revenge or unfinished deed. If needed, pick a card "WHO??" to detail the Patron's dead spouse. Inverted, Someone who lost close friend; another uncompleted deed, but this time the person who died was a friend of the Patron.
Mission:
- (Inverted) King Rods: Perform a ridiculous or insulting task. Inverted, perform a seemingly suicidal task.
Obstacle:
- 2 Coins: Peasants ("common folk that normally aren't even noticed by the players") will misunderstand mission and become rowdy, disrespectful or dangerous if players' task is made known to them. Inverted, all peasants met seem indignant and a hindrance.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) Knave Cups: Confusing or obscure motives. Inverted, motive deliberately made to appear obscure, actually quite clear. Pick another card to answer "WHY??".
Finances:
- (Inverted) 3 Swords: Secretly fond of one player and offers reasonable aid. Inverted, Patron is passionately in love with one of the players and will do anything.
Rival:
- (Inverted) Ace Cups: High Priest of Temple. Inverted, Apprentice of Temple.
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!!!!!)
