[WP] you find a typewriter with the words "what if" written on its permanent and only page, when you finish the sentence it gives you a vision of that scenario and then resets itself. Using it you become a famous writer, but now the worlds you saw are bleeding into our own

[WP] You run an animal shelter for magical and mythical animals. Dragons, unicorns, jackalopes, you name it, your shelter houses them. Today a witch surrendered their familiar at your shelter. It is just an ordinary animal, so you think it would be easy to care for it. You were sorely mistaken.

[WP] You are the latest generation in a rather unique family business. Your family has been finding new jobs for out-of-work gods. Your great-great-grandma was particularly proud of giving Odin the job of Santa. You knew it was going to be a long day when you saw an anxious Loki in your lobby.

[WP] During a near-death experience, you came face-to-face with the God of Death, and pleaded to be returned to the world of the living.
