	These almost all just give the character what they asked for. In a few cases there's a slight penalty (Marco talks his way past the guards -> the guards let him by, but will file a report) but this is basically about future consequences, and really that could happen on any roll. The reason it's made explicit here is to contrast with the partial and extra outcomes, which make more ~~explicit~~ guarantees about certain consequences.

	I used to be really into partials as giving the player a hard choice, but I only did that in one of these. It turns out that sticking with the rule that the most important thing is to have each skill roll cause the situation to change makes it hard to think up choices, since too often one of the choices is to keep the status quo. Like for gambling, the partial result is they get what they want, but they lose something else. An obvious choice here would be "do you want to get the macguffin and lose the other thing, or quit without getting the macguffin", but then the second choice actually ~~has nothing~~ accomplished by this skill roll (except losing valuable time). You can imagine decent outcomes here - like, the player says "well, I can't win it gambling so I'll have to ambush the guy with the macguffin after leaving the gambling den" but that is putting a lot of weight on the player to think of that, and it seems unfair. (And it seems like it's presuming too much to make the choice "do you win the macguffin and lose the other thing, or ambush the guy?" and they'll be like "hey, I was just rolling gambling skill, not ambush a dude skill"). Anyway, all that said, of the partial results, here are the penalties that make them partial:		I used to be really into partials as giving the player a hard choice, but I only did that in one of these.

That said, it's also possible the failure should be "you take so long decoding it that the thing you're trying to prevent happening happens", depending on the larger context. You can sort of imagine a failure mode that's like "you decode the letter, and it says "this is the last message using this code, meet me (yesterday) at 3pm to discuss a new code"", with the implication that the failure is now you can't get any more messages this way, but that is kind of a crappy failure in the sense that it just dead-ends this line of investigation without giving any more information (unless it's possible for the player to investigate the 3pm meeting, then you might have something)
