[WP] You are the last human alive yet the Grim Reaper refuses to reap your soul, forcing you to live in a body aged far beyond ever intended. For years you assumed it was because he didn't want to be alone. But now he has admitted with your death his purpose is ended. The Reaper fears his own Death.	423
[WP] Immortality is not what people thought it would be. The human body can be preserved indefinitely but the brain has limits, specifically 200 years of memories before insanity beckons. Once every century or so we backup and erase all but the first few decades of our memories and start over again.	404
[WP] Defeating the Grim Reaper allows an individual to remain untouched by Death for all time but soon realises this will not prevent them from ageing into infirmity and beyond. Their only hope of avoiding this rests with challenging Father Time as well and the stakes couldn't be higher than ever.	392
[WP] People can choose to either work for a living or accept a government handout. This handout is unlimited, you can literally spend a million dollars a day if you so wished except that every dollar taken counts as an entry into the national Death Lottery - the ultimate form of population control.	380
[WP] Humanity has reached an upper limit on the maximum number of people alive at the same time for the number of available souls. New births are now causing existing souls to randomly vacate their current bodies to occupy the excess new births.	369
[WP] A time-traveller stranded in the middle ages maintains a comfortable lifestyle by using his advanced technology to adopt a guise as the legendary wizard Merlin. He never expected a REAL wizard to show up and challenge him to a magical duel.	365
[WP] The Grim Reaper is no longer able to claim lives directly. Instead, when your time is up a mark appears on your body and it is the duty of every other person to kill you on sight.	364
[WP] Long ago a sorcerer anchored your life-force to that of a long-lived species of tree to save your life, which had the side-effect of slowing your ageing to an average of you both. Now, centuries later you sense some kind of threat to your tree and set out to visit a very old friend indeed.	363
[WP] You and your friend obtain immortality. Nothing can kill you except old age but simply touching each other will reset you both back to the age you were when you first became immortal. Now, one of you has tired of living and wants to die. Life has now become a desperate game of tag for you both.	358
[WP] Time travel into the past is possible, all except to dates within a specific continuous 50 year period of history. An explorer travels to the start of this time, determined to take the long road by living through this time period to find out what makes it so unreachable.	351
