For those of you feeling bored or like there’s not enough to do, I whipped up a generator that creates random objectives for your character to accomplish. Just for fun! Could interpret it as your character’s desires or whims for the day.

The ruleset I generally follow is that the character has to complete at least one of the listed objectives before the day is finished, the default amount is 4 but you can generate as many objectives as you please.

I’d enjoy feedback or suggestions of things to add to it. :>

Holy awesome you are god.

StopSignal:

Oh you.

It took me half the day to make, quite the tedious effort. Especially all the food and drink that’s in the game. x-x

This seems like exactly the sort of thing that Amelia should have on her e-Ink tablet. She gets so bored some days, even with her booze and smut, that I just feel awful for her. Having a random objective for the day seems like a great idea!

Added book related objectives as well as some other miscellaneous ones.

Didn’t know this would be a thing a good number of people were yearning for. :o

Make a campfire and have them just happen to wander into it and burn to death, then dance around the fire all night long.

Drink some cranberry juice.
Drink a protein shake.
Use a vibrator for recreational purposes.
Smash a window.

What an interesting narrative this could tell.

Srsly talk, I could see something like this being in the game. Maybe the goals could be determined by your traits or profession.

Go an entire day without killing anything.
Raid a slime pit and steal everything not nailed down.
Use a two-way radio to call for help that will never come.
Go kill a irradiated wanderer.

What??!

It IS random, sometimes you’ll get things that don’t make sense. But that’s why it’s so !!FUN!!

Sleep in a comfortable bed.

Murder a fellow survivor.
Drink some m-m-m-m-methacola.

Drug-fueled religious sacrifice. Solve all your problems at once.

Make sure to sacrifice him to me. I’ll give you a tardigrade if you do.

Drink some tea.
Listen to the radio.
Go hunting and kill a horse.
Eat some sausage gravy.
Posh apocalypse?

Posht-Apocalypse my good sir.

Lorith · 2015-02-20T12:10:54.000Z

Go kill a feral hunter with a stabbing implement.
Burn a religious text.
Try on a diamond ring.
Prove your strength by slaying a giant fungal blossom.

I think that will be hard since I don’t have a stabbing implement, have no books, can’t find a town let alone a jewelry store, and haven’t seen any fungal anything. Damn, I hate failing.

mattroks101 · 2015-02-20T15:59:52.000Z

Go hunting and kill a dog.
Eat some cheese.
Prove your strength by slaying a charred nightmare.
Listen to the radio.

I feel like a narrative could be made from this. I feel like writing that narrative.
