As a GM that rarely rolls up my own character, I am always curious about procedures and systems that introduce surprise into my game sessions. I love Powered by the Apocalypse and it's "success with complication" or Burning Wheel's Task and Intent clarification. What I'm looking for is processes that react to PCs and channel that reaction back at the PCs and the general narrative; I want each roll to change the fictional positions. #dnd does not do this by default.
