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) Queen Rods: Noble Woman; the wife of a lord; she will hold power, but only by virtue that her husband has power. She will usually approach the players unbeknownst to her husband; otherwise, she may be a widow (a frequent occurrence in fantasy genre) and only maintains title. Inverted, Chamber Maid Sent by Noble Woman; a servant of a noble woman. Definitely the noble woman approaches the players against the wishes of her husband. She doesn't necessarily conspire against him, but he will become a Rival should the players' plans become known to him.
UnderWorld Mission:
- 4 Cups: Follow a map to a powerful item. Inverted, not a map, but a complex puzzle, set of clues or diving rod of sorts ("funny how it seems to take the hardest route through all the monsters").
Obstacles (UW):
- 8 Coins: Gentle Giant. Creature that does not want to do harm, but doesn't know any better. Often driven by simple needs ("hungry, eat man"), but once these are supplied, becomes agreeable and tame. Inverted, Fake Giant. Something that is creating the illusion or fabricating the presence of a giant for personal gain; non-humans have been known to dress as giants (several standing on each other's shoulders) to scare away adversaries or unwelcome guests.
Motivation:
- 6 Swords: Fame and wide recognition. Inverted, prevent fame of another or stop blackmail to himself or another.
Finances:
- 3 Cups: Father or spouse is powerful and wealthy; however, no guarantee anything can be obtained. Inverted, family is rich, but requires prior mission to extort or steal from home.
Rival:
- (Inverted) Queen Cups: Chancellor of realm (person who advises a monarch on political affairs). Inverted, Chamberlain (person who manages a monarch's court and household).
