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:
- 5 Coins: Invalid; person injured or magically cursed so that he is physically handicapped -- no longer can walk, hands feeble, disfigured. Mission will almost always have a Motive of revenge, so do not pick a card for Motive (or ignore picked card). Inverted, Blind Man; a person who has lost his sight. He may have overcome this weakness by ability or magic.
Mission:
- King Swords: Deliver a debt to a creditor. Inverted, prevent a debt from being repaid.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) 7 Coins: One player will contract a disease that will leave him injured or in need of rest, at the scenario's end. Inverted, if wounded during mission, players will contract complications or diseases that will kill characters if not magically healed.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 3 Coins: Seeks long term financial return. Inverted, seeks to secure a monopoly on trade.
Finances:
- (Inverted) Ace Rods: Rich landowner, but hates travel; pays handsomely to avoid personal involvement. Inverted, Patron is rich landowner, that hates travel far away from his lands; pays handsomely to avoid personal involvement; utmost importance not to bother Patron after start (Queen encounters per Encounters pamphlet should be ignored).
Rival:
- Ace Swords: Cut-Purse. Inverted, Pickpocket.
