Spacegamer.com - Barony Underworld Mission:
This uses the Tarot Card to Generate a "Underworld" Mission on the Fly as described in Designing Fantasy Missions as part of the Barony Set. (Underworld means it is focused 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.
Mission Title:
Party Leader:
Patron:
- (Inverted) 5 Swords: Person who looks like another, Con-man or Opportunist; Patron will be mistaken for another. Pick a card "WHO??" for the identity of the look alike. This deception may be played in order to entice the players unwittingly into a deal. Inverted, Shape-Changer; deception is created by magical means. From this point on, the players are in danger -- if not from Patron, from powerful adversary they would have better sense not to face.
UnderWorld Mission:
- (Inverted) King Coins: Violate a tomb to gain a certain weapon, device or relic; players may keep all other plunder. Inverted, secure a special elixir extruded from a dangerous creature or made in lab of a twisted alchemist; again players can plunder to contentment so long as elixir is obtained. This variation of Mission hints of greater intrigue, yet Patron hopes players are blinded by greed.
Obstacles (UW):
- 6 Cups: Reptiles. Lizards magnified in size (and hunger). Inverted, Reptile Men. Lizards that bear arms and try to maintain a simple social structure. Reptile men have been employed in some armies, but they are indifferent and suffer greatly in changing climates ("cold blood makes for poor design").
Motivation:
- 9 Rods: Preface to future plan, goal or aim. Inverted, preface to future plan with completion by the players vital.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 9 Coins: Can steal or illegally acquire anything needed for job. Inverted, Patron can steal anything for the players, but the item must be available (i.e. in the area) to steal; Patron will not leave area to meet players demands.
Rival:
- 3 Swords: Warden of Realm. Inverted, Independent Bounty Hunter.
