Yet another of my crowdsourcing requests!

Yet another of my crowdsourcing requests! This time inspired by Codex’s “36 awesome things” series! The background here is that I’ve been running World of Dungeons for 45 minutes every morning and I feel like I’m in a creative rut with 7-9 results.

I’m looking for suggestions for generic worse outcomes, hard bargains, and ugly choices. Ideal suggestions would be written to be broadly applicable, like GM moves. Bonus points if they make sense both in and out of combat.

Some (poor) examples:

You succeed but/if…

-Something you value is lost or given away.

-It is more or less effective than you want (GM choice).

-The GM can make a soft move.

  5. – You draw unwanted attention. (a classic)

    – The effort makes you question your abilities. Take negative 1 Forward.

    – Your success comes at the cost of one of your companions. Pick one.

    – You make an ass of yourself in the process. Detail how.
