Specific Consequences

Wounds (Kharnage: Blood Bowl)
Pick a Nurgle piece, other than the Beast of Nurgle, not revealed to the GM. Nurgle doesn’t have the option to field that piece at a set up.

Win + Side Goal	Wounds are no more dangerous absent unusual conditions.
Mixed Result	Significant wounds should be treated with folk remedies or simple magic to prevent infection.
Loss + Failed Goal	Even minor wounds commonly become severely infected absent serious magical healing.

Food Spoilage (Smash: Estate and Grabit: Restaurant)
Nurgle has at least four Rotters end up in the casualty box (i.e., including expulsions).

Win + Side Goal	Food preservation stays much the same.
Mixed Result	Food preservation becomes more difficult and expensive.
Loss + Failed Goal	Ruinous food spoilage threatens the practicality of urban living.

Material Rot (Smash: Primacy and Grabit: Goblin Organizing)
Don’t have a player die that would become a rotter (if Nurgle’s roster limitations were ignored).
(The player must be killed during a block, blitz, or foul action (e.g., not a surf or failed dodge), their strength cannot exceed 4, and they cannot have the decay, regeneration, or stunty skills.)

Win + Side Goal	No change to the longevity of natural materials.
Mixed Result	Natural materials require more meaningful effort to maintain.
Loss + Failed Goal	Natural materials degrade quickly enough to significantly reduce standards of living.

Childrearing (Kharnage, Genghis, and Smash: Family)
Mercato succeeds at a check made more difficult by disturbing presence.

Win + Side Goal	Children are not particularly prone to disease.
Mixed Result	Childhood becomes more dangerous, most of which can be offset with simple preventatives.
Loss + Failed Goal	Few families can afford the magic to prevent significant childhood mortality.

Hygiene (Genghis: Basketball and Grabit: Goblin Organizing)
Nurgle doesn’t have the option to field more than two Pestigors at a set up.

Win + Side Goal	Hygiene remains a matter of presentability.
Mixed Result	Basic cleanliness becomes necessary to prevent disease.
Loss + Failed Goal	Cities and other crowded spaces become dangerously filthy.

Endemic Disease (Smash: Primacy)
A Nurgle piece other than a Rotter suffers a permanent injury or death that isn’t recovered by regeneration or an apothecary.

Win + Side Goal	There is no endemic disease.
Mixed Result	It becomes common for people to periodically suffer from minor disease.
Loss + Failed Goal	Absent magical protection, people can suffer a succession of debilitating diseases.

Epidemic Disease (Genghis: Basketball)
Mercato succeeds against foul appearance no worse than expected.

Win + Side Goal	There are no epidemics.
Mixed Result	Epidemics are limited to a particular race.
Loss + Failed Goal	Pandemics sweep across cities, irrespective of race.

Nurgle’s Rot (Kharnage: Blood Bowl)
Get at least five points on these measures, gaining two points where Mercato does better and one for a tie: more running yards, more passing yards, more successful catches, more successful interceptions

Win + Side Goal	Nurgle’s Rot is difficult to spread.
Mixed Result	Epidemics of Nurgle’s Rot periodically arise.
Loss + Failed Goal	Nurgle’s Rot becomes endemic.

Mercato wins by two, loses by no more than one, or wins in overtime.
Pick one consequence to advance by one degree.
