Came here looking for exactly that and it does help a lot! Although using the pit trap from 6 encounters ago requires some great narrative judo hahah.
I was thinking that those could be more abstract things, similar to proper curses, e.g. after fighting a skeleton, a 2d6 =5: nightmares with the undead. Then I think it's easier to roleplay whenever it comes up again.
Thanks a lot for this!
