[WP] In an old encyclopedia, you find a different plant pressed and preserved between every page, and a cryptic handwritten note on the inside of the cover.	35
[WP] You're a cosmic pirate sailing the milky way, hunting space whales and searching for treasure on marked asteroids. On the way to your next big score, a space station bartender warns you that a kraken has been spotted in these parts. Or was it space zombies? No, it was the megalodon! ... maybe.	34
[WP] You were expendable, so they tested the experimental drug on you first. They didn't know what it would do, how it would change you. Now they're running for their lives. You are no longer expendable... but they are.	34
[WP] You bought a wardrobe you had to put together yourself. After laboring away to finish the project, you sit back, content with your work. Then the piece of furniture rattles, and the doors burst open as a person falls out.	33
[WP] Wow! You got transported to a fantasy world filled with magic and ripe for adventure! Problem: the inhabitants DON'T all randomly know how to speak your language, and there aren't any convenient magic translation rings. Good luck 'adventuring' when you can only communicate with gestures.	33
[WP] You have a strong affinity for magic, but you have a rare condition where your body stores mana within your bones. To use magic you have to release it forcibly. You're not a fan of snapping your own fingers (and/or more) every time you need to cast a spell, but you gotta do what you gotta do.	33
[PI] While checking cargo of Explorer Spaceship a brainslug slips into your ear. But instead of hijacking your body, it desperately begs to stop the spaceship, as you risk awakening the Eldritch Cosmic Horror.	33
[WP] Ever see a bee cling to the windshield of a car? Ever wonder what the bee does once the car stops tens of miles away from the bee's home? Well that's kind of like what happened to you. You thought you landed on an asteroid, but it was actually an alien ship, and it just jumped to light-speed.	33
[SP] You thought that noise was rainfall on the roof, but it was something much worse.	33
[WP] Conservationist's efforts to save coral reefs become overzealous. A growth gene they introduce reacts violently, and coral grows uncontrollably. Sea levels rise from the water displacement. Some large colonies even gain hive-sentience, and become dangerous, mobile predators.	33
