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) King Rods: Landed Noble; a Baron or other high born official who governs an area under the authority of a more powerful emperor or monarch. In these more troubled times, as kings loose their rights and their kingdoms are being dismantled, such a man may wield unrestricted power in an area ("here I am the law"). Inverted, Urban Aristocrat; a lord who manages and rules a city or port for a more powerful emperor or monarch. As with baron, this city may only pay lip-service or bear false allegiance to the rightful king or emperor.
- (Inverted) Hermit: Patron is much older than he appears. Inverted, Patron pretends to be something he is not; pick two cards of which only one is the Patron's true identity (treat false identity as "PATRON??").
Mission:
- (Inverted) Knight Coins: Rob someone. Inverted, strongarm someone to repay a debt.
Obstacle:
- 4 Rods: Local government and constables will approach to try and stop mission right at start. Inverted, local group of thieves will approach to try and stop mission right at start.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 3 Cups: Ruthless and will do any atrocity to obtain goal. Inverted, sadistic and commits crimes for sport or simple amusement.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 9 Swords: Provides a fully paid and supplied company of soldiers. Inverted, Patron controls a company of soldiers and provides a small force of these soldiers (amount below company size -- rest maintain image that garrison is still fully staffed).
