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:
- (Inverted) 9 Coins: Gentleman; a landowner, of modest claim, who is not part of the titled nobility. Such men maintain their lands by defending them or through influence of powerful friends. 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").
Mission:
- (Inverted) 6 Coins: Bury, hide, alter or obscure an item. Inverted, acquire and restore an item that has been hidden or altered.
- Hermit: Patron withholds or remains ignorant of one crucial aspect of the Mission. Inverted, players will find this out early in the Mission, usually by end of the first Setting of the scenario (see Encounter pamphlet for details on Settings).
Obstacle:
- (Inverted) Knave Coins: Mission succeeds only if a player performs a ruthless deed or action out of character. Inverted, for the mission to succeed at least one player must perform a ruthless deed against another player.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) Knight Coins: Detained by duties; player acts on his behalf. Inverted, Patron has other business and wishes players to act on his behalf, yet they will be observed by third party spy or enforcer.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 2 Cups: Planning to marry and use dowry to fund mission. Inverted, Patron plans to marry after the mission and use his dowry as a reward, but he loathes impending marriage; failure of the mission may also annul the event (i.e. players must succeed or their failure means no chance of payment).
Rival:
- 5 Rods: Respected Lord of Estate. Inverted, Regent of Noble (not yet of age).
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!!!
