[WP] You’ve been brought to another world to save it. The quests may take years, and if you survive, you’ll return home. This would be kind of cool— except you’re diabetic, with less than a month’s worth of insulin.

[WP] You are a shepherd whose flock is gradually replaced by wolves in sheep’s clothing. There are some surprising benefits. Besides, they’re very unconvincing, and good comedy’s hard to come by out in the fields.
