Generate the thing that goes wrong mid-job and turns a clean plan into a mess.
Generate the thing that goes wrong once a sword-and-sorcery job is already in motion: the patron lied, a third party arrives, the prize is not what anyone thought. Six fields cover What Goes Wrong, When It Hits, Who's Behind It, What It Threatens, The Choice It Forces, and What It Reveals. Each result turns a clean plan into a problem with a timing, a cause, and a hard choice attached. Use it to escalate a session, complicate a heist, or force a party to decide what they are really willing to do.
