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:
- King Coins: Traveling Foreign Noble; landowner or baron, but one who is away from his jurisdiction. Mission often places the Patron in direct violation of the laws of the area. Inverted, Ambassador or Emissary; a person who represents the interests of a foreign monarch or powerful personage in another land. Mission may not relate to intrigue (though that's often the end result), and instead the Patron may be busy in counsel and needs players to handle personal matters.
Mission:
- (Inverted) 3 Swords: Find an adversary of Patron and murder him. Inverted, find and murder an adversary who is also an Enemy of at least one player.
Obstacle:
- 10 Coins: Bandits have been paid to interfere with the players during travel. Inverted, dwarves will follow the group awaiting a chance to steal or cause mischief ("night is full with eyes"). Some game systems, term goblin may better apply than dwarf.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 7 Coins: Political guile and intrigue. Inverted, political intrigue against a foreign land.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 8 Rods: Waiting to receive repayment of debt; yet, mission can not be delayed. Inverted, Patron lies and has no wealth.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 3 Cups: Guildmaster. Inverted, Craftsman.
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:
