[WP] All your life, you’ve lived in a small-town farming community with no chance of leaving. Your dad’s farm makes a modest living, but you’ve always dreamed of doing more. One day, a package arrived, with a paid scholarship to the university of your choice. Today is day one of orientation week.	8
[WP] You have learned every alternate reality is possible, and you have the power to reach any given one … and stay there. The catch? You have to cover your wish list before you go. What happens when you get there, and what did you forget?	8
[WP] An alien craft crash-landed in the plateaus east of a fantasy city. The homing beacon was activated prior to the crash, but none of the surviving crew knows when or even if a rescue ship will be sent. Time to survive. (Take it from either the aliens or the locals POV)	8
[WP]You wake up with the worst hangover ever. In fact you might still be drunk. Rolling out of what you think is a bed, you fall off a brick wall and land in some rich git’s backyard. The pool’s bigger than your apartment and when a head pops over the edge, its your own face staring at you in shock	8
[EU] Coming home from the most humiliating day at work, you sit in your den to sulk when your wife comes in holding a bottle and a spoon and says, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.” “And what fixes embarrassment, Mary?” you snap. As you watch, the bottle in her hands changes colour.	8
[WP] There was a time when you were a world heavyweight in foil and epee fencing. Now, age and mild arthritis have you using a cane to walk long distances. Up ahead you see neighbourhood troublemakers getting ready to ambush you.	7
[WP] You’re an archaeologist who specialises in cave art. Some of the most famous finger flutings are due to having three fingers and a thumb instead of four. Standing in front of one such example, you remove your glove and place your three-fingered hand over the fluting, where it fits perfectly.	7
[WP] In a fantasy world, you’re an adventurer who strikes up a bargain with a cloaked figure. A map to untold treasure, which is yours to plunder. Their price? A locked sack that cannot be breached. Having found it, the sack is covered in sigils from all the good and neutral gods in existence.	7
[WP] You are a famous impersonator who is asked to take the real person’s place for a few weeks. It’s a dream come true and you plan to absorb his real-life like a sponge until you’re faced with what that person is like when the cameras aren't around. Now, you have a choice. To fix, or not to fix.	7
[WP] Everyone says the words, “When Hell freezes over,” little realizing they are locking themselves into a contract with existence itself. As of twenty minutes ago, existence upheld its end of the bargain, and now everyone is being forced to uphold theirs. Including you.	7
