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 Swords: Cut-Purse; a minor rogue who makes a living from theft. Patron may be attempting a Mission that does not involve criminal activities ("I'm cleaning up my act"). Inverted, Pickpocket; another criminal, but his method is more subtle. He relies on stealth and deception to gain his goals.
Mission:
- Queen Rods: Lead a small group in a raid into neighboring lands. Inverted, transport arms and supplies to foreign civil war.
- Chariot: Success on the Mission will leave the players famous. Inverted, success will leave them infamous as fugitives or outcasts, possibly with large reward for apprehension.
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) Knave Rods: Most comely woman will become accidentally involved. Inverted, a comely woman who is actually a spy for the opposition.
- Death: Untimely natural death will slay an important NPC during the mission (should not be Patron or Rival). Inverted, one player's favorite weapon will break during the Climax of this scenario.
Motivation:
- Queen Coins: Simply monetary concerns. Inverted, simply monetary concerns, but as compared to the wealth of the Patron; tens of thousands of gold coins may be on the line.
Finances:
- 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) 7 Rods: Lord of Port. Inverted, Urban Aristocrat.
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!!!
