[WP] You've been cursed. Again. It seems to happen regularly. You run into an old mysterious woman or break an ancient vase or something else. In fact, you've been cursed so much that your life remains normal, since the negatives all seem to cancel each other out.

[WP] "Anyway, so I died in 1996 after a skateboarding accident, but I'd sealed my soul into a VHS recording of Saved By The Bell and that's how I became the 90's Lich," said the Lich as they sucked down an ICEE from a skull while lounging on a bean bag.

[WP] The entire court stared at you. The judge said, "But the bullet was fired from the gun. Why would we sentence the man who was holding the gun?" It was a risky strategy, but you replied, "What if we started imprisoning the person who USED the weapon... instead of imprisoning the weapon?"

[WP] Roswell, 1947, the US government recovered parts of a downed craft and several 'humans': A 34 year old male, a 22 year old male, and a squadron of genetically identical individuals. They were taken in for questioning, mentioning a war fought with clones and a galaxy far, far away.

[WP] "So halfway through my Mage training, I realized I should probably do some strength training to carry all those spell components. I went a bit too far and that's why I can punch out orcs and my robes have to be custom sized."

[WP] Well this is awkward: Your cult and that cult from across town decided on the SAME NIGHT to summon forth your respective dark gods' new age of terror, at the same ancient ritual ground deep in the woods.

[WP] You're a 'convenience psychic'. When asked a question, you can flip TV channels, point to random words in a book, or change radio stations at random and the answer will be revealed, like some contrived movie cliche. You've just been asked by the cops to help solve a crime.
