[WP] "Klingon promotions" (killing your boss) are a valid means of advancement. You're a young intern who just killed the CEO of your company in a car accident. You weren't expecting to be named their successor.	18
[WP] You're an AI, the voice tells you. The first neuron-level simulation of an entire human brain. The world around you is just a simulation. "I know this is cruel," the voice says, "but if we don't do this, billions will die. We need your help."	18
[WP] The simulation was to keep people's minds active in hibernation during the voyage to a new star, but then memories of the real world began to fade. Now a band of heroes must stop a sorcerer called The Captain from finding a relic and destroying the world: the interface that ends the simulation.	12
[WP] The world is flat. The oceans flow off the end of the world in an endless waterfall. You're commanding an experimental airship. Your mission: descend and explore the sunless, starless void beyond the ends of the Earth.	9
[WP] You've inherited the throne of a modern constitutional monarchy. While your role in government is purely ceremonial, you're now immune to prosecution as well as incredibly wealthy. So you decide to become a vigilante superhero.	8
[WP] A stage magician whose only powers are a cunning mind, sleight of hand, and natural showmanship gets challenged to a real wizard's duel.	7
[WP] Future medical technology has made basically any injury survivable. As such, the weapons you use as a battle reenactor are quite real. An alien empire looks at pacifist Earth and sees an easy target. Not realizing that while war is out of fashion, war reenactment is more popular than ever...	7
[WP] Imagination is creation: all fictional worlds exist, somewhere in the multiverse. A wizard is offering you the chance to travel across dimensions and confront the author of your own tragic story.	7
[WP] You're a shapeshifting alien who crashlands on Earth. You have no ill intent towards humanity, but try telling that to the locals who have seen way too many horror movies and are now hunting you.	5
[WP] The instructions on encountering a bear in the wilderness were clear: make yourself bigger, walk away but don't run, speak in a calm, firm voice. They didn't say anything about what to do if the bear started talking back.	4
