BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Repeal the rule “Motivation.”

Add a subrule called “Illusions” to the rule “Hallucinations” as follows:

Each Castaway may have a single Illusion, or no Illusion, defaulting to the latter, which is tracked in the GNDT. If a Castaway has no Illusion, then they may, as a Date Action, set it to one of the Illusions listed in this rule, but only if no other Castaway already has that Illusion. Each Illusion has a name, bolded in the following list, and an effect, italicized immediately after its name. Once a Castaway has a given Illusion, they may take advantage of its effect, but only if they do not have—and are not tied for—the lowest HSR among all Castaways.

• Machete-Shaped Stick Whenever gathering Wood, gain an additional 1 Wood.
• Spyglass-Shaped Bamboo When taking the Date Action “Search for Little Mac,” successfully find Little Mac on a roll of 18-20 instead of only 20.
• Axe-Shaped Rock When spending Wood to add to the Giant Bonfire, receive 2 Story Points instead of 1 Story Point per 5 Wood spent.
• Knife-Shaped Rock When another Castaway successfully hunts on a hunt that this Castaway has arranged, this Castaway must be included in the set of those whose Hunger is thereby decreased.
• Featherbed-Shaped Pit When taking a Date Action to Rest at the Beach, reset one’s own HSR to 4 instead of 5.
• Figurehead-Shaped Tree Immediately after setting their Illusion to Figurehead-Shaped Tree, the Castaway doing so may also increase their Wood by 10, once only.
• Cake-Shaped Coconut Immediately after setting their Illusion to Cake-Shaped Coconut, the Castaway doing so may set their Hunger to 0, once only.
• Calendar-Shaped Leaves Immediately after setting their Illusion to Calendar-Shaped Leaves, the Castaway doing so may also decrease their Date by 3, once only.

Set the Illusion of the Castaway named Brendan to “Machete-Shaped Stick” and the Illusion of the Castaway named Thunder to “Knife-Shaped Rock.”
