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) Knave Coins: Journeyman, Tinker, Vendor or Monger; simple folks who make a living by trading in common wares. Do not pick a Finance card (or ignore picked card). This selection is similar to the peasant, another underdog. Inverted, Miner, Tradesman or Unskilled Laborer; an even more impoverished fellow who earns barely a living from working with his hands. Do not pick a Finance card (or ignore picked card), but also do not pick Other Opposition (or ignore pick). Missions from these folks tend to be direct, without many if any Encounters from travel.
Mission:
- 4 Rods: Transport item(s) over land. Inverted, faster than Rival moving similar item(s).
Obstacle:
- 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:
- 6 Coins: Create a scarcity of a highly desired commodity. Inverted, create a scarcity of a highly desired commodity especially craved by Rival.
Finances:
- (Inverted) Knave Swords: Rich, but doesn't think mission requires special items or bonus pay. Inverted, Patron is pompous and thinks mission is so simple, that the players should not need anything; Patron will not give finances, unless players degrade themselves by pleading.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 8 Swords: Outcast or Exile. Inverted, Refugee or Survivor of Famous Battle.
- Death: Person is currently wounded or ill. Inverted, will die from wound sometime during scenario.
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:
