Create a new rule titled “Automation”, with the following text:
When creating a new Location and its associated Distinct Discovery, a Pathfinder may use the generator located at https://repl.it/@blognomicaname/BlogNomic-Location-generator#main.py to make random choices instead of rolling for each separately. This is done by rolling DICE54321, pressing “Run” on the generator page and inputting the result of the roll. The values printed by the generator must then be used instead of making separate rolls.
The generator may not be used if it is Out-Of-Date. If the rules governing the process of creating Locations are changed, the generator becomes Out-Of-Date. The Computer may make the generator no longer Out-Of-Date at any time.
The generator is not Out-Of-Date.
The Location-generating process is a bit tedious right now (six random rolls) but can be easily automated and turned into a single dice roll. I’m not sure if this is a good idea, but it was suggested on the chat and might be useful.
Sure if it can be perfected
Josh: Mastermind he/they
There’s an immediate issue, which is that upon clicking the link the user can edit the code, presumably thus fulfilling the stipulation to ‘use the generator located at’ the link but stil ensuring that they get the result that they want.
Unless there’s a way of making the backend visible and auditable but locked down, this is going to be a hard no from me.
