How about some real luck for your DCC RPG Games?
Optional Rule
When you roll a critical on a dice based on your class or your race, increase your luck score by 1. When you roll a natural 1, decrease your luck score by one. This change takes effect before any other rolls are done modifying any other rolls after the change in luck happens.

How about a new campaign trait for the Iron Gods path?
Family History: Your parents, and your parents’ parents, and all the way back to the first smiths on Torch worked the Torch forging objects of skymetal. You know how to work metal and you know it well. However, with the Torch out, you no longer have a job. Without the Torch, you can work, and your family will starve. You’ve volunteered because the professional adventurers have failed, so now its time for the regulars craftspeople to save the town. You’ve not an adventurer, but when the going gets tough, you setup! You gain a +1 to a craft skill of your choice and knowledge(engineering) and these are both considered class skills for you.

How about something for a DnD Next Fighter?
Rend Armor
When you hit an enemy, you may tare and destroy the armor instead of doing full damage. When you hit an enemy, you may not add your ability modifier to the damage to impose a -1 penalty to the armor class of the enemy. This penalty stacks with itself, but only be as large as your proficiency bonus. As an example, if your proficiency bonus is +2, you may only impose a -2 penalty to armor this way.

I really like the random fluid table for the Iron Gods AP for Pathfinder. How about a flaw that plays into it.
Fluid Compulsion
You tried the random fluids of the wastes long ago, and now you are an addict. You’ve tried to stop, but you can’t. Now, when you see it, you have to have it.
Effect: When you see a Numeria fluid, you must attempt to drink it. If you try to avoid drinking, you must make a will save DC 10+ level.

Chosen
You are chosen of a god or goddess and are now a pawn in a much bigger game. Some gods care for their chosen, while some gods let their chosen survive or die on their own wits and strength.

Let’s fire up the random and get an item made up for DnD Next for the Secret Gaming Cabal.
Helm of Gamer Command
helm, very rare, requires attunement
This helm arrears to be a simple band of gold made of dice and card shapes with a raised war cobra on the front of the band.
Once per week, the wearer of this helm may say the command words Insubordinate Nonsense to call all who see the helm to make an intelligence saving throw. However, the intelligence of the subject is inversely proportional to their save bonus. For every point two point of intelligence above 10, a character instead has a -1 to the saving throw instead of a +1. As an example a character subjected to this effect with intelligence 20 has a -5 instead of +5 bonus on the saving throw. Characters who are proficient at the use of a gambling set of any kind have disadvantage this saving throw. Characters who fail this save are subjected to the dominate person spell with the effect limited to listen to bearer of the helm discuss games of chance or playing any game provided to the subject of the spell. This effect of the spell is also changed and now lasts for a minimum of two hours, but can be extended based on the bearer of the helm still discussing games or the length of the game set before the subject of the helm.
