[WP] Your team is used to hacking and spell casting through the horrific caves and dungeons in this dismal land, but never got far and certainly haven’t gotten rich. The new guy doesn’t have spells or swords, he’s just...nice. And it’s working? It’s different, having a Canadian on the squad.	42
[WP] “No, no, no! I gave you Ten Commandments! Just the ten! Who came up with all this others stuff?”	40
[WP] Aliens challenge humans for Earth under the Empire’s Galactic Games rules. Little do they know that the alien company contracted to make the Games just steals them from Earth—bar games, Olympic sports, playground games...the humans are here, let the Games begin!	33
[WP] It doesn’t help that the mother and kids love you, or that you’ve adapted to the air and gravity, or even that you’ve learned their language. The dad never wanted a pet human. The others are gone today, it’s just you and him...	32
[WP] Your sibling is the smart one, the one with the bright future, or at least that’s what your parents think. Now they want your sib to get into that fancy exclusive school—but along with forms and essays, Admissions wants to interview each family member. Including you.	31
[WP] You mine black holes, collapsed stars that wait for the heat death of the universe. You aim your anti-gravity generator at a likely candidate, push the event horizon back, and see with surprise that a ship pops out. More surprise: They are human, like you-sort of-but trapped aeons ago.	29
[WP] “Look, all the good super hero and villain names were taken years ago. Live with it. I have to go by ‘Pending’, do you hear me complaining, Beige?”	25
[WP] “That doesn’t matter now,“ said Lucifer. “We outlasted the heroes and paladins, but these alien and their invasion are ruining our nice little gig. Get your things,” he told Dracula. We’re getting our kind together for a fight.”	25
[WP] A sorceress yanks you back in time to an earlier era. She tells you to make a new life but grants one boon before turning you out into the street. You ask her to enchant your phone. If you’re going to make your way in this unlikely time, you’re going to need the modern internet.	23
[WP] ”Wait, you can choose to become any sentient creature on any planet and you’re thinking about becoming an Earth human? And you want me to tell you what it’s like? In advance of a bigger invasion? OK, gimme a minute here...”	22
