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) Knight Coins: Soldier of Fortune; a mercenary who makes a livelihood from fighting in the numerous fantasy wars. A typical player character of sorts with a job to offer. Inverted, Paid Assassin; more base mercenary who lives by fighting duels or murdering for hire. Patron's true profession may remain unknown, and Mission need not relate to a killing (though Mission may cover such).
Mission:
- (Inverted) 2 Rods: Join a pirate or Viking ship's crew. Inverted, join a warship that hunts pirates or sets off to destroy a Rival's ship.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) 5 Swords: Woman (having influence over husband with wealth and power) becomes involved opposed to mission. Inverted, a former lover of the Patron becomes involved opposed to mission.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 10 Cups: Lacks confidence in his ability. Inverted, over estimates his abilities.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 9 Coins: Can steal or illegally acquire anything needed for job. Inverted, Patron can steal anything for the players, but the item must be available (i.e. in the area) to steal; Patron will not leave area to meet players demands.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 2 Coins: Mercenary. Inverted, Assassin.
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!!!
