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) 6 Swords: Outcast woman with child; players are approached by someone in dire need, often defenseless. This card can also apply to any Patron who has a weakness or vulnerability that must be protected. Inverted, Fugitive; someone who is sought for crimes. The crimes may be long past, but Patron is still pursued. The justice may not be of this world; fugitive may have escaped a cult or ritual that employed demonic forces.
Mission:
- Ace Rods: Prove or disprove a legend, mystery or magical event. Inverted, start rumor or gossip of a legend or magical event. Note, this may not be a total lie; players may be asked to spread fame of another's unproven discovery.
Obstacle:
- King Rods: Local noble, wealthy and powerful becomes involved opposed to mission. Inverted, legendary beast, in most cases a dragon or a demon equally as feared, becomes involved opposed to mission.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 7 Cups: Formalize his position and status. Inverted, prove his capability under duress.
Finances:
- 7 Swords: Will give a one of a kind gift for services. Inverted, Patron will offer a one of a kind gift to the players for their services; however, after the mission, he will regret the loss and try to buy back this special gift. If players say "no deal", Patron becomes incensed.
Rival:
- (Inverted) Knight Cups: Captain Monarch's Elite Guards. Inverted, Unlanded Knight.
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.
