[QUOTE="chaochou, post: 8801412, member: 99817"] I was running Apocalypse World and one of the characters (the Battlebabe) had gone into a dark underground tunnel, failed a roll to navigate through and ended up in a pitch-black confrontation with something trying to stab her through the tunnel walls with it's spiky mutated roots. She announced that she was going to focus totally on her memory of the hardhold, open her brain and step through the psychic maelstrom back there. I'd never envisaged the psychic maelstrom behaving or acting like that, or of a character being capable of using it in that way. but it wasn't outside the bounds of barfing forth apocalyptica, everyone thought it was super cool and so we hit the resolution mechanics - I called for an 'Open your Brain' move and the player rolled the dice. And yes, they hit the roll and made it back, and we'd learned something new and amazing about the psychic maelstrom in that place and time, which we wouldn't have learned if I had sole authority for curating the fiction.
