wow i thought it would be a bunch of cunt GM's outing themselves as cunts, but this is good

>A long time ago, I played this Magical Girl game that had a table of horrible campaign twists.
>Start using this table in other games like DnD.
>Always show it to the players before the game so they can veto anything that's truly going to be unacceptable to them.
>After the vetoes are done, I always roll in secret and apply a few of them to the campaign.
>Some of this shit is devious to the point of things like "You character's memories and life experiences are all artificial/fake." "Adventurers and the play character themselves are more evolved than their peers and essentially a separate race or somehow more real than their peers." "The life cycle of the "gods" involves consuming sentient life and they seed planets/planes with life as we might raise cattle for the slaughter." "The world is all a fake construct or illusion created by magic, that is now succumbing to magical entropy and decaying around you. Only this single town/city/province/country is safe, and nobody knows for how long or what comes after." "Unknown to anyone, monsters are the souls of the restless dead given form when they fail to pass on, and their numbers have been increasing rapidly." and other such incredibly dark and world-changing revelations.
>Don't even this deliberately to fuck with them, do it because I like seeing their characters adapt to, fix, or overcome something truly terrifying about their world beyond just "hurrdurr big bad necromancer wants to rule everything" like in most fantasy games.

Post table?

That reminds me
>Rogue decides to get his dick wet, rolls to carouse
>Wakes up with several contacts and a beautiful petite woman in his bed
>Her sister is pissed, but she seems happy to have him
>They manage to wheedle out of me that she's plot relevant and I get convinced into giving away a major spoiler
>The party is now convinced that she's a murderous yandere who will kill party members for another shot at rogue's dick
>I have something even worse planned
>She was the one who showed up to solicit him for sex and to copy his key so she could steal literally everything he wasn't carrying when he left on a quest
>Of course, when he comes back to find himself robbed, she'll be shocked and appalled and insist to have nothing to do with it
>Considering going full bitch and having her mock his pride and masculinity mercilessly if he can prove she did it
>"Yeah, I'm sure you actually did all that stuff you were bragging on and weren't just trying to get laid. If that were the only thing you lied about I might have enjoyed it."
How far is too far, Veeky Forums? I'd basically be turning this guy's impromptu waifu into a complete cunt.
