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) 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.
- (Inverted) Hanged Man: Patron is at risk for seeking out players for Mission. Inverted, Patron's role is transient; soon another will become the Patron (pick an extra card for identity of this later Patron, "PATRON??").
- Wheel of Fortune: Reshuffle the deck and continue.
Mission:
- (Inverted) Knave Swords: Threaten or maim someone. Inverted, threaten or maim an innocent person, a relative or lover of the Mission's Rival.
Obstacle:
- 6 Rods: World's most famous general becomes involved opposed to mission. Inverted, players must cross an army on the move; marshal leading these troops will suspect the players as spies ("get those men for questioning").
Motivation:
- 3 Rods: Raw power and advancement in social position. Inverted, usurp rule of the land for himself or aid another pretender.
Finances:
- 4 Rods: Friend or relative is a guildmaster and controls trade; however, no guarantee anything can be obtained. Inverted, Patron has a Friend or relative that is a guildmaster, but gaining any of these finances requires a prior mission.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 2 Rods: Whore or Harlot. Inverted, Adulteress or Noble's Mistress.
Phases
