Mundane Tasks

Mundane tasks are the trivial character-maintenance activities which would be boring to have to do as a player, but which still add an element of story to the game, eg., eating, sleeping, drinking, etc.

We've talked about solving this by allowing the player to arrange for the character itself to maintain these mundane tasks, perhaps with different "modes" or routines so that the character would conserve rations when they were getting low, etc.
