[WP] In 1947, they sent the first gift. The small pod crashed in Roswell, allowing us to salvage technology that would become the first microprocessor. In 2020 they sent designs for the first warp drive with a warning: "We have failed, flee as far as you can. The harvesters are coming."	1435
[WP] You are a time traveler masquerading as squire for a medieval knight. Your knight is tasked with slaying a terrible dragon that has been devouring peasants in a small town. You know dragons aren't real, but the Tyrannosaurus Rex that comes roaring out of the cave is certainly not a fable.	1205
[WP] In your world, magic comes from elemental pearls that are found within the ocean. More powerful pearls are found deeper, but the depths are also home to more dangerous predators. You are a pearl diver, a necessary profession where many die young but those that survive find fortune quickly.	1114
[WP] You have an uncanny ability to sense evil. The man who walks past you and gives you chills later appeared on the news as a murderer. The corrupt cop at the donut shop. Today you sensed the greatest concentration of evil ever. You peer into the hall, into beedy eyes of the class hamster.	1049
[WP] You are a devout Paladin trying to prevent the resurrection of a dark goddess. Ultimately you fail. When the goddess awakens, she claims that she doesn't know who she is or what has happened.

[WP] The Chosen Hero and the Dark Lord are in an arms race to defeat each other. Each time they duel they both arrive with even more spectacular armor and enchanted weapons in a bid to one up each other. They have no idea that the master blacksmith that is forging their gear is the same person.	998
[WP] You are the world's most powerful shadow journalist. Dictators have fallen against your pen, the greatest lies have been exposed, and corrupt empires have crumbled. You are constantly assailed by assassins -which is fine because you are a 3000 year old vampire whose food comes to you.	993
[WP] The party of heroes storms through the front gate of the dark lord's castle. Expecting to face an army of evil minions, they instead find themselves barging in on a family gathering. The dark lord is celebrating his 4 year old daughter's birthday.	974
[WP] The world is a fabricated virtual reality. Due to a system error, you wake up in a stasis pod. There are pods as far as the eye can see. There are also giant insects breaking into them and eating the people inside. The automated defense system designed to protect us failed a long time ago.	960
[WP] You are powerful... but too powerful. You shake the floor when you try to walk softly, you break steel hinges off when trying to open a door with the tiniest amount of force. Everything is so laborious. Everyone wants to be mighty and strong, but you just want to be weak.	960
