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) 7 Cups: Former Patron or Employer; a person who has done business (usually successful) with the players before. Inverted, Friend in Need; a person who a player has befriended. In some cases may also be a family, clan or acquaintance from mutual activities (a drinking buddy, another acolyte in training, fraternity brother, fellow guardsmen, etc).
- Emperor: Patron is skilled soldier, sapper, siege craftsmen or commander. He has led groups of men into battle. Inverted, Patron was once famous, but his fame faded or lost importance over time.
UnderWorld Mission:
- 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):
- (Inverted) 9 Swords: Dog-Men with Swords and Shields. Freaks of regular fighting men that appear possibly with animal or inhuman faces. These creatures lack strength, but add to their power by fighting in number. Inverted, Ghostly Swords and Shields. Phantasm of warriors that appear usually only as swinging weapons without holders.
Motivation:
- Knave Cups: Confusing or obscure motives. Inverted, motive deliberately made to appear obscure, actually quite clear. Pick another card to answer "WHY??".
Finances:
- King Cups: Without wealth or friends; hopes players will extend credit or share in the profits at the end. Inverted, Patron hopes players will extend credit to fund the mission, but he is notorious for default on previous loans.
Rival:
- 6 Swords: Duelist. Inverted, Avenger or Queen's Champion.
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.
