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. :\>

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!

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.

3. Chew said gum & meth just before sleeping in my mansion
4. PROFIT!

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.

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.
