[WP] Leaving your lab assistant to take notes, you step into your time machine. When you step out, you're 400 years in the future, in a very different world...and your lab assistant is waiting for you, having seemingly not aged a day.	30
[WP] The mars colony is barely self-sufficient. Without regular deliveries from earth, you can only provide for half the current population. So when your telescopes see thousands of nuclear detonations across the earth, there is naturally some panic among the colonists.	29
[WP] Despite your best attempts to stop them, the murderous cultists summon their dark god in front of you. It promptly leaves this backwards planet and vanishes into deep space. Now it's just you and the head cultist. Boy, this is akward.	29
[WP] You are the first colonists on a habitable, unpopulated planet. Unfortunately, 5 other alien civilizations had the same idea. There's not enough resources to go back to earth, so you're just going to have to set up this colony with your new neighbours.	29
[WP] Dimensions are alive. Our universe is like a plant- mostly immobile, unreactive, mindless. Easy to mistake for an inanimate object. But now portals have opened to a much more active and sapient "animal" dimension. And it's hungry.	29
[WP] You suffer from sleep paralysis, and are fairly used to the terrifying images you see when unable to move. Until today, when you've woken up, you can move normally, you're not hallucinating anymore...and the Old Hag is still at the end of your bed, staring at you.	29
[WP] History will call you the Dark Lord. They will talk about your kingdom of nightmares, and your army of monsters. They will talk about shining heroes stopped your evil plans. But history is written by the victors. This is what really happened.	27
[WP] Yesterday the world ended. Everyone remembers where they were- spending their last minutes with loved ones, running to shelter, exploiting the chaos. Except it's the day after. And apart from the memories, there's no evidence anything ever happened.	27
[WP] It's 2025 AD, and on behalf of the United States Military, you are testing the world's first time machine. Alas, while you can reach the past, it seems immutable. You sadly inform the head council of the Northern Alliance Peacekeeping Corps that as of 3210 SY, changing the past is impossible.	27
[EU] You've been here for decades, but no-one's aged a day. Disasters and atrocities happen and are undone overnight. You don't even know what state you're in. Everyone else has slowly gone mad, but you can still see there's something very wrong with "Springfield", and only you can find the truth.	26
