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) Ace Cups: Kidnap someone. Inverted, divert or remove a person from a location for specified period of time.
Obstacle:
- 5 Swords: Woman (having influence over husband with wealth and power) becomes involved opposed to mission. Inverted, a former lover of the Patron becomes involved opposed to mission.
- (Inverted) Hermit: Some other important task distracts the Rival; ignore all agents sent by Rival to hinder the players during travel (Knave encounters, per Encounters pamphlet). Inverted, opposition has spies and agents everywhere setting ambush; ignore all agents from their Patron (Queen encounters, per Encounters pamphlet), since these never arrive.
Motivation:
- Queen Swords: Sexual desires, bigamy or lust. Inverted, sexual desires or lust for one player; mission is excuse to be together.
Finances:
- (Inverted) Knave Swords: Rich, but doesn't think mission requires special items or bonus pay. Inverted, Patron is pompous and thinks mission is so simple, that the players should not need anything; Patron will not give finances, unless players degrade themselves by pleading.
Rival:
- (Inverted) King Cups: Royalty. Inverted, Deposed or Exiled Noble.
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:
