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 Rods: Officer from Victorious Army; a commander, though not necessarily the supreme commander, of an organized groups of soldiers, mercenaries or militia. Again, his Mission may not relate to his position, but the fact his army is victorious will add additional Rivals in the form of those he defeated. Inverted, Officer from Defeated Army; like before, except the person commands (if they even still exist as an organized unit) soldiers that went into battle, were defeated, and fled the field. Add Other Opponents in the form of soldiers, scouts and spies from the forces that defeated the Patron or even his own former soldiers ("where is that coward").
Mission:
- (Inverted) 2 Coins: Bribe, corrupt, remove or kill a majority of soldiers from an area. Inverted, bribe, corrupt, remove or kill a majority of craftsmen from an area.
Obstacle:
- 6 Coins: Patron is followed by assassin from past unrelated deed. Inverted, Patron will be poisoned, during the scenario.
Motivation:
- 5 Swords: Acting on instructions from another whose motive was never known or understood. Inverted, the motive is private -- players will not know.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 8 Cups: Acts extravagant and highly cultured; wears fine cloths and jewelry, but has nothing else. Inverted, Patron outwardly poses as a rich and cultured fellow; but though he has a few servitors who likewise dress well, he has no means of support for the mission.
Rival:
- Queen Coins: Female Warrior. Inverted, Foppish Dandy.
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:
Referee creates the flow of the climax OR refer to Designing Fantasy Missions!!!
