If Proposal: Location, Location, Location has not been enacted then this proposal does nothing.
Add the following as the fourth item in the list of characteristics a Location can have in the rule Locations:
* A unique Thing, generated as per the process set out in the rule Making New Things. A Location is said to have a Dense concentration of its unique Thing, a moderate concentration of the unique Things of any Location to which it is Linked, and a sparse concentration of any other unique Thing.
Add the following as a subrule to the rule Animals, Vegetables and Minerals, entitled Making New Things:
Whenever a Pathfinder is called upon to create a new Thing, they must do so by carrying out the following atomic action:
- Give it a name, which must take he format of: the word Unknown, followed by either Animal, Vegetable or Mineral, at random. If the Thing was created in a specific Location then the name should also include the word from the EFF Wordlist randomly selected to be in the name of that Location, with a suffix denoting place of origin (such as (-ian or -ese))
- Add it to the relevant location in the rule Animals, Vegetables and Minerals.
Kevan: he/him
Should probably make Thing names flavour text, to match Location names. There may be some surprises in the EFF list.
