Inspired by some games I've had involving King's Court and Hamlet/Pawn

Molasses
$5,

+1 Action

Do this twice.  Gain a Molasses card.  Count the number of cards in your discard pile, deck, and the trash, and add the number of turns you have taken plus the result of the roll of a six-sided die.  If the number is:
- Divisible by 3, choose one: (1) Put a card from your hand on your Molasses mat, or (2) +2 Cards
- Divisible by 4, choose one: (1) Pick up 1/3 of the cards from your Molasses mat, rounded down, (2) Trash a card from your hand and gain a card costing at most [cards on your Molasses mat / 2] more, (3) Each player reveals a Stop card or discards down to the number of cards on your Molasses mat, minimum of 2
- Divisible by 5, choose one: (1) Gain a Molasses card, (2) Each other player draws 1 card and you draw 3 cards, (3) Put one gold token on your Molasses mat if there are less than 3 Coin tokens on the supply cards
- Divisible by 7, choose one: (1) Take a Molasses card from the discard pile and put it in your hand, (2) Return a number of cards from your discard pile to the supply equal to the number of cards on your Molasses mat, (3) For each gold token on your Molasses mat, turn over the top card of each opponents' deck and trash it, replacing it with a card of the same cost from the supply.  Molasses cards are discarded instead of trashed if revealed in this way.
- Otherwise, choose one: (1) Put one gold token on your Molasses mat, (2) Gain a Molasses card, (3) +$ equal to the number of gold tokens on your Molasses mat

When you buy this card, each other player gains a Molasses card.

During cleanup, if this card is in play, put it on top of your deck.  If this card is in your hand during the Action phase, you must play it if you can.

Setup: Add an additional Kingdom card to the supply.  Cards from that pile are Stop cards.  Place one Coin token on each Victory and Treasure pile; when a card from this pile is added to a Molasses mat, remove the corresponding coin.  There are 50 Molasses cards in the Molasses pile. 

If you have fewer than five Molasses cards in your deck at the end of the game, your VP total is considered to be 0.

Simon Says
Action - $6P
For the player on the left's next turn, he must reveal his hand and let you make all decisions.  He must only follow directions you preface with "Simon Says".  He gains a curse each time he follows a direction that didn't start with "Simon Says".  Any cards of his that are trashed are set aside and returned to his discard pile at end of turn (but only if Simon said so).

If you have both in hand, and want to draw the next card in your deck to have a more informed decision on which option to take...

Courtesan
Action - $3
+1 Action
+1 VP
Gain 2 gold to your hand
Instead of normal cleanup: only discard played actions and spent treasures from this turn; draw until you have 5 cards in hand. Take an extra turn after this one.  The player to your left can see all cards you can, and makes all decisions for you. Any cards you would gain on that turn, he gains instead; any cards of yours that are trashed are set aside and returned to your discard pile at end of turn.

I agree, wrt to the cleanup penalty.  Forcing a possession on yourself is interesting too, though I think the former is more interesting.

Thanks.
I thought of the forced possession first (I was inspired by reading Simon Says, above) simply as 'what is the opposite of the Possession card?' followed by 'what would motivate a player to let himself be possessed?'. The name followed logically from that, and then I added the cleanup penalty as a way to shake things up a bit. Sometimes it makes things worse, and sometimes it lets you blunt the possession by leaving behind your junk cards. Hmm, maybe I should make it discard Victory-only cards too? Actually I'd originally written it as "Don't discard unplayed actions or unspent treasure", then I rephrased it and forgot that I was letting you pass along the junk. Not really sure which way would be 'better'.

[edit] But the cleanup penalty on its own (in some other context without the possession) is definitely worse when you can't discard unplayable cards.

Anyhow it might be fun to actually try out this card and see what happens. Actually to make it even more properly bad I'd need to change it to "Instead of normal cleanup: do not discard unplayed actions and incompletely spent treasures from this turn;"
That way if you had no treasure, played Courtesan, and then bought something worth $5 your possessor still gets one of your gold.

That's... actually a very interesting card.  Frankly, the self-attack might be too weak to balance the body.

If you change it so that the self-attack happens before the +2; it might balance out slightly better. However, as this will likely draw your entire deck most hands, the self-attack part becomes completely painless anyway.

Let's make others (better than double agent ^^) :

-Berserker-
Action attack, cost $5
All your opponents reveal cards from their deck until they reveal a card costing $2 or less. They discard this card and may gain a card costing up to $2 more. They trash the other revealed cards.

-Modern city-
Action, cost $6
+1 card, +2 actions
Let n the number of empty stacks in the supply.
Trash up to n+1 cards from your hand. For each one, gain a card costing up to $2 + $n more.

-Knight- (a crossover of pawn and bishop ^^)
Action, cost $3
Choose 2 (the choices must be different)
->+1 card
->+1 action
->+1$
->+1 buy
->+1 VP
->Trash a card from your hand, +VP equal of half its cost rounded down ; all your opponents may trash a card from their hand

-Highvault-
Action, cost $??
+2 cards ; discard any number of cards, cards cost $1 less this turn per card discarded (not less than $0).
All your opponents may discard their hand. If they do, they draw half the number of discarded cards, rounded down

Strong Suggestion without a Seance
Action
+1$

Each other player may choose to discard down to 4 cards. 

The player to your left takes an extra turn after this one, in which you can see all cards he can and make all decisions for him.  The player to your left may not take more than three turns in a row for any reason. 

Cost: 5+potion

At worst, it's a weak witch.  At best, it's a "trash your opponent's entire deck, besides the +draw, with a forge" AND a witch.

Rather KC-Forge, so you can gain more cards. Trashers suddenly become the worst card in the kingdom... This should cost more. 3x2P?
