[WP] It's always easier to go down in a dungeon than up. You run a shop on the safe 18th level, using secret tunnels mostly free from monsters to bring in fresh inventory. A cave-in has cut off your supply line forcing you to explore new routes - and you're certain the cave-in wasn't natural.

[WP] Gifted with the power of Trope Detection, you can identify when someone is being affected by a Trope. When you spot a Mass Empowerment trope about to fire off, you join in to gain a “real” super power. You awaken with a new ability: Trope Manipulation, and a strange desire to hire henchmen.

[WP] When the old bookseller died, his family tossed everything in boxes and sold it off in lots. Which is how you ended up with several books you wanted, many you didn't, and a battered tome with a barely legible title "Gastronomicon". It appears to be a strange blend of Alchemy and Cooking magic.

[WP] Your grandmother would X out people in her highschool yearbook who died. Turns out it wasn't just a morbid habit, it was a hit list. Now she needs your help to kill Mildred so she's the last survivor. Turns out Mildred is tougher to kill than you thought.
