[WP] Mankind has made contact with an extraterrestrial race only to find out that they are human. They’re descended from a long-forgotten ancient civilization that fled the planet long ago. They are amused by us calling them “Atlanteans”. They are less amused about how we treat the Earth.	16
[WP] Magic is real. People now evoke the power of historical figures in spells to use certain powers. You use the healing spell and you are enveloped in a beautiful warm golden light. You hear a disembodied voice in your ear. The voice says “won’t you be my neighbor?”	16
[WP] The last thing you saw was the rushing water as your ship was capsized by a massive wave. You thought that that was it. What you definitely didn’t expect was that you’d wake up oddly dry in an intact ship stranded in a strange new world.	16
[WP] The Guild of Heroes was the kingdom’s oldest institution. But over the centuries it ossified into a corrupt and oppressive shadow of its former self. You vowed to do something about it. You severely underestimated the amount of paperwork necessary to found a competing guild.	15
[WP] You were a passenger on a ocean liner when, unbeknownst to you, the time machine of a time traveller on the ship malfunctioned and sent the entire ship to the present day. You then learn that, along with it being over a century in the future, that the ship historically sank with no survivors.	15
[WP] You thought you knew what to expect when you encountered a ghost. You met your first ghost shortly after moving into your new house. You never expected that a ghost would react by panicking about the living person in her house.	15
[WP] You recently woke up to find that your deceased sister has risen from the grave. You though that such a thing would result in horrifying consequences. But it hasn’t. Life mostly resumed as normal in your family except for dealing with your sister’s decomposition.	15
[WP] Your adventuring party charged into the lair of the evil wizard only to find a kindly old man living in a quaint cottage. Turns out that the man who sent your party on the quest owed the wizard quite a bit of money and the bastard lied to get someone to kill him to avoid having to pay him back.	15
[WP] You vowed that you’d continue to aid your survivor community as a ghost after succumbing to the zombie virus. They can’t see you. Part of the fun is seeing the shocked looks on the faces of hardened survivors.	15
[EU] The first iteration of the Matrix wasn’t rejected by humanity because it was the utopian. It was rejected because it was unbelievably buggy. And now Neo has somehow found himself in a backup of this “beta” Matrix.	14
