[WP] As a young mimic, you watched the elder mimics pretend to be treasure chests, furniture, and so on in attempts to lure adventurers close enough to attack. They all died horribly. There's a new party running through your dungeon and it's your turn to stop them...	259
[WP] Kidnapped by an alien scout party, you are taken back to their ship. Aware your answers will be used to assist in their invasion, you try to lie but fail. They are somehow forcing you to speak the truth, so you do the only thing you can: Tell the truth in as disturbing a manner as possible...	248

[WP] As an abductee, you learned many things in short order. Some were not pleasant. Others were Very Not Good (tm). Aliens developed FTL, zero point energy, and many other things from the Physicists’ Wish List, but they never developed the concept of passwords. Things are about to get interesting.	70
[WP] You're running a space station in the outer edge of the Empire's controlled space for nearly seven (years). Raids by pirates are rare. Both wars are hubward, far from your territory. But today, your luck ran out and you didn't even know it. A new creature arrived calling itself Hoo-man.	66
