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:

A character like some of the wiser players, perhaps even a retired player character. Inverted, Foreign or Exotic Traveler; a gentleman away from his home, either conducting business or involved in some intrigue. A large number of these men control magical forces or weapons. Patron may have any number of strange customs or mannerisms that also make his behavior repugnant to the players ("I hate foreigners").
