Add a subrule to “Dilemmas” called “The Prospect”:-
The Prospect is a publicly tracked list of consequences.
Add two new bullet points to the list in “Dilemmas”, placing them after the second point:-
* If there are any Upsides in the Prospect, remove one at random and replace one of this action’s incoming Upsides (selected at random) with it
* If there are any Downsides in the Prospect, remove one at random and replace one of this action’s incoming Downsides (selected at random) with it
After “Select two Upsides and two Downsides at random”, add:-
; these are the “incoming” consequences of the action
Add the word “incoming” before every instance of “Upside” and “Downside” in the bullet point that begins “Make a blog post which pairs the first Upside with the first Downside”.
A take on delayed outcome creation after Thinking Outside the Box. Having new outcomes attached to the next Dilemma should work better for timing, and choosing the outcome feels closer to the idea of the activating District working towards a specific, desired goal, rather than getting an additional but potentially unwanted random option on an existing Dilemma.
This is just a simple framework, so that other mechanics can say “Add a consequence to the Prospect” to queue up an outcome for the next Dilemma - as Emperor, I won’t wade in with opinions on how best to cost and place the mechanics that would activate it.
