[WP] Imperial common is a human centric language. Many sounds it uses are outside the vocal range of orcs, goblins, and the like, leaving them trying to communicate with the broken fragments that they can use. Mistaking that for stupidity is often the last mistake many humans make.	257
[WP] Most time travelers worry about changing history by accidentally killing the wrong butterfly or things like that. But the real danger is making pop culture references long before the source material is written.	237
[WP] You asked to only be above average. You did not take into account that you were entering a world of dragons, elves, and wizards, where "above average" is still well above the limits of a normal human.	236
[WP] Human scientists are surprised to discover the advanced alien race is devoutly religious. The aliens are surprised that the humans killed their own God before he could show them the path to the stars.	236
[WP] Everyone has an item that they can summon back to them in perfect condition, no matter how far or damaged it is. Soldiers get weapons. Civilians get tools. You have a ten-foot pole.	235
[WP] You're the newest (unwilling) contestant on an alien reality show where members of non-spacefaring races are dropped on an uncolonized world and expected to survive.	233
[WP] The nobility would have the world believe magic is a gift granted them by the gods giving them the right to rule. The gods are getting sick of being used as a scapegoat to justify their oppressive rule, so they just made you, a normal farmer, the most powerful mage in the world.	232
[WP] In the old days, the line between what magic could achieve and what required divine intervention was clear. But as magic research progresses, you're becoming increasingly convinced that the gods are just really powerful wizards, and you're not sure what to do about that information.	230
[WP] The townsfolk send a maiden to the dragon's den to appease it. The dragon is furious they think he wants to eat anyone, and even more furious that they would send a girl to her death to save their own skins.	225
[WP] Their families hate each other, but they're madly in love. It would be just like Romeo and Juliet, but both the leads are mentally and emotionally stable so they've thought of a less lethal solution.	209
