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:
- Knave Swords: Female Warrior; another example of chauvinism, in that despite her prowess, Patron is not respected or has no legal right to bear arms. Feminist overtones ("women are superior to men") are a must for proper role-play. Inverted, Female in Man's Attire; Patron appears to be male, but is in fact a female who disguises her identity; players should discover this fact sometime during the scenario. Since the female disguises her sex, she may be hiding from a suitor, past lover, cultural taboos, etc.
UnderWorld Mission:
- Ace Cups: Recover a special item that was stolen and hidden in the underworld. Inverted, item is now worshiped by some strange and twisted cult.
Obstacles (UW):
- (Inverted) 6 Swords: Macabre Horror. Literally the dance of death, something gruesome and frightening. Not a good time to be taken alive. Inverted, Twist. Seemingly innocent creature ("bunny?") that turns out to be horror.
Motivation:
- 4 Coins: Change land boundaries or trade routes. Inverted, change land boundaries between countries at war.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 4 Swords: Wealthy, but hopes player will split cost of venture. Inverted, Patron is wealthy, but still would like players to split costs; however, all rewards are still the Patron's (this of course is revealed much later).
Rival:
- (Inverted) Knave Cups: Crusader for the One True God. Inverted, Priest or Inquisitor of One True God.
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:
