On the Mothership RPG Discord, we have a channel calledq #hive-mind where somebody suggests a topic and folks contribute an example until we have 10. Then we start a new list. This seems like a common thing among OSR-ish communities, and the results eventually get published by Tuesday Knight Games in a free zine.
I wrote up a few of my own lists for fun – these do not come from the community. Let me know if you use any of them in your games!
