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:
- Knight Coins: Soldier of Fortune; a mercenary who makes a livelihood from fighting in the numerous fantasy wars. A typical player character of sorts with a job to offer. Inverted, Paid Assassin; more base mercenary who lives by fighting duels or murdering for hire. Patron's true profession may remain unknown, and Mission need not relate to a killing (though Mission may cover such).
Mission:
- (Inverted) 7 Cups: Perform treasonable acts against the players' own leader, ruler or government. Inverted, uncover a traitor in the Patron's government, organization, business or family.
- Temperance: Rival of Mission is a long forgotten Enemy of one player; this Rival is still eager to even the score (the player won't remember the transgression and further anger the Rival). Inverted, at least one player will become married on the Mission; Referee should integrate this as subtly as possible.
Obstacle:
- 4 Rods: Local government and constables will approach to try and stop mission right at start. Inverted, local group of thieves will approach to try and stop mission right at start.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 3 Cups: Ruthless and will do any atrocity to obtain goal. Inverted, sadistic and commits crimes for sport or simple amusement.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 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:
- (Inverted) 5 Swords: Slaver or Taskmaster. Inverted, Leader of City's Beggars and Thieves.
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!!!
