[WP] "My point is, we're one planet barely starting out technologically. We physically couldn't have defeated a galactic empire with a several millennia tech headstart, we were fatally outmanned and outgunned. The only way we could have repelled the invasion would be...if they had wanted us to."	134
[WP] Your curse is slowly ruining your life. But no matter how many priests and sorcerers you turn to, none have cured you. Not, to be clear, due to lack of power, but lack of trying. Because perhaps the worst part of your terrible curse is that it's utterly absurd and impossible to take seriously.	127
[WP] We all think of Santa as a kindly old man, giving toys to children. But you, an arctic researcher, have found his workshop and stumbled onto his terrible secret. Now, you must flee the workshop before he silences you and tell the world the truth about Father Christmas.	125
[WP] There are 1000 wizards in the world. Not one more, not one less. While anyone can learn the theory of magic, they can only actually use magic when a space opens up. This, naturally, means the relationship between wizard and apprentice is...more complex then in other worlds.	120
[WP] You are the chosen one. Your mentor told you of the prophecy that you, and only you, can stop the growing darkness. Your resolve has not faltered...until today, when you met a complete stranger who was told by the same mentor that they were chosen by prophecy to fight the dark.	119
[WP] After thinking you were the sole survivor of the zombie apocalypse, you're ecstatic to find fellow humans. Except one of them thinks they survived an asteroid impact. One an alien invasion. One the biblical apocalypse. It's soon clear everyone remembers the world ending in a different way.	118
[WP] You are the Grim Reaper, the Harvestman, Death Itself...and it's over. On a barren planet, beneath a dying star, you have just reaped the last soul. Nothing else lives in the universe: after so long, your job is finished. Well. What now?	113
[WP] We've just discovered a new continent. Obviously, this has a massive effect on the world- resources, land, new species, new cultures. But the elephant in the room is what you're looking into. It's an entire continent and we have satellites. How could we miss it?	111
[WP] At school you were the only friend of the weird bullied kid. 20 years later, they track you down. They're now the head of a major crime organisation and to thank you for your kindness, they'll put a hit out on anyone you want, free of charge.	110
[WP] You are a child's imaginary friend. They're now too old to see you. But you're still around, and still looking out for them.	110
