So please adventurer,
Being a hero starts right here,
For to help a poor farmer,
Shows you’re pure of soul, makes my flock back whole,
And it gets your quest log clear…
For my sheep have run amok and you must bring them back to me;
I can give you fifteen gold and at least twenty XP,
Yes my sheep have run amok and I don’t know what to do,
I need a brave adventurer – like you.
Listen close adventurer,
There are things that you must know,
Ancient lore that I must share,
So don’t skip my di-, I must tell you why-
Fine then take the quest and go…
There is a barn in honeywood,
From which my sheep have roamed,
It’ll be the ruin, of many a garlic farm,
If you don’t bring them home…
Woah, they’re just not there,
Wo-oah! Twelve sheep and a mare!
Take my quest, return them all there,
Wo-oah! Twelve sheep and a mare!

Hello, it’s me:
I was wondering if after all these years you found my sheep…
Well my sheep have run amok and you must bring them back to me;
I can give you fifteen gold and at least twenty XP,
Yes my sheep have run amok and I don’t know what to do,
I need a brave adventurer – like you.
Farewell adventurer,
For your path shall now be long,
Where your deeds beyond compare,
Braving rivers wide, and mountains steep,
Facing mighty foes in dungons deep,
Yes and maybe even catching sheep,
Will be laid down in song…
Since my sheep have run amok and you must bring them back to me;
I can give you fifteen gold and at least twenty XP,
Yes my sheep have run amok and I don’t know what to do,
I need a brave adventurer – like you.
Yes, my sheep have run amok and you must bring them back to me;
I can give you fifteen gold and at least twenty XP,
Yes my sheep have run amok and I don’t know what to do,
I need a brave adventurer – like you.

Oh, that's all wonderfully pretty. 
You're quite into screenshot projects, right? I seem to remember you doing something for Outer Wilds on a similar basis.
Elden Ring is on that list of games that I'd sort of like to play but the mechanics, some of the vague vibes of the theming (I don't actually know much about the setting in depth at all) and bits of FromSoft's general attitude and reputation, kind of put me off. I don't generally deal well with the sort of combat that is about pacing and timing: I eventually taught myself some systems for a couple of more action-driven games like The Witcher 3 and Hades, but the reputation of the Souls/Elden Ring genre is rather a step beyond that. Also I dunno how well they work as mouse and keyboard games and I've never liked using controllers.

ECHIDNAPUS
I am getting an unreasonable amount of enjoyment from the news that someone has discovered the echidnapus, a new prehistoric species of monotreme, among finds which are significantly expanding the range of monotremes we know about. Also the reconstructions look adorable and I'm a bit sad they're long extinct.

Making another push on writing the exploration game rules this weekend: I'm getting close to finishing the first draft of the objectives, which are quite complex and frankly probably horribly unbalanced due to the dual-objectives system. In other words, every player has two things they can try to do, a scenario objective for all players and a faction objective for themselves, and either one can win you the game. By and large, the faction objective is meant to be grindier-harder: the scenario objective is often "do this to stabilise or exit the planet" whereas the faction objective is often much more about establishing your faction on the planet. However, you're less likely to be in direct competition over doing the faction objective so if the players are deadlocked on the main mission they might switch to trying their faction objectives. This also provides more exploration push: there are few objectives where squabbling over the centre of the map is helpful, especially as players are hard to totally shift (the ships especially are pretty rugged). I don't think I've got the system right yet and it needs more testing, but I think it's a good theory for making the game asymmetrical which was always the plan.
I also need to add some more to the item chart, and I've not done the terraforming rules yet. But things are getting towards a complete, albeit minimally tested, setup.
