In this particular environment the GM has chosen to embody the possibility of encountering gelatinous cubes, and some sort of plot-relevant outcome, as a custom move tied to that particular environment. As the explanatory text on Dungeon World p347 explains, this is basically a way to simplify the adjudicating of what would already be a Defy Danger, and could produce exactly the same results. Its almost like adding a note to the key of your dungeon. To call that 'rule creation' seems absurd. If it is, then every time you mark a note like "This door's handle contains a poisoned needle which the PC may detect on a Hard Perception check. The poison is..." Does that sound like a rule? GM fiat? No, so neither is the DW example. Its simple environment design!</p></blockquote><p></p>
