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:
- 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).
Mission:
- (Inverted) Ace Cups: Kidnap someone. Inverted, divert or remove a person from a location for specified period of time.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) 5 Cups: Success of Climax depends on enlisting the aid of another who will first require a mission of his own. Inverted, this mission will result in a chain of several missions, travel encounters and Climaxes, before finally concluding.
Motivation:
- 2 Cups: Enraged by something that happened. Inverted, divinely motivated or magically controlled.
Finances:
- (Inverted) King Coins: Friend or relative owns much in the region. Inverted, Patron must finagle or deal with an acquaintance to secure finances; this person will most likely want a piece of the action.
Rival:
- 4 Coins: Smuggling Merchant Captain. Inverted, Captain Monarch's Warship.
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:
Climax Flow:
Referee creates the flow of the climax OR refer to Designing Fantasy Missions!!!
