Players: Understand that whenever a PC says, "It could be worse," it is absolutely incumbent upon the GM to come up with something that makes the situation worse. This is one of the inviolable social contracts of roleplaying. Any GM who lets a comment like this slide is simply not doing the job properly.

GMs: If a PC ever says, "It could be worse," try this: Just smile diabolically and say, "Nothing appears to happen."
