King of the Monsters
Mouser City boasts one of the highest populations of mice, tucked away in a remote corner of a park.
But then — disaster! A man let his dog off-leash, and he sniffed the City out.
Now, the dog is gamboling running amok through the city, with the man stomping around trying to catch him. Can you and your band of trusty adventurers find a way to stop this deadly rampage of giants?

Kaiju? I Hardly Know You!
A giant monster is rampaging through your small town, and you are ordinary townsfolk — now what?
This is mostly a test of the Roll for Shoes game, where you start with only one skill: Do Anything 1, and certain rolls allow you to gain a more specific skill at a higher number.

National Treasure
You're a small team of treasure hunters, mocked and ridiculed by...just about everybody.
But when your second cousin's grandmother's old teacher's penpal's secret admirer gives you a map, you know this is *it*. The score. The jackpot. The Big Gargunza. You'll show *everyone* what you're worth.
And that bitter rival who you haven't seen in over a year? I'm sure they won't be a problem.

Underworld
Maybe you're Selene, wearing a dramatically flowing black jacket and carrying two large Glocks. Or maybe you're any other vampiric Death Dealer, hunting down your mortal enemy, the monstrous Lycans.
But when your team is ambushed in what should be a safe location, you fear your clan leader is conspiring with the Lycans.
And why are the Lycans targeting a seemingly harmless medical student?

Vegas Invasion!
You and your party are Elvis impersonators in Las Vegas, who are also somehow avatars of D&D #TTRPG classes.
So you have an Elvis Bard, an Elvis Cleric, an Elvis Fighter, etc., currently living unremarkable lives.
Your abilities are only triggered by the expanding aura of the aliens who have landed there to start their conquest of the world.
#TTRPG one-shot idea: you and the rest of the party wake up, dead.
You're zombies, and you've reanimated in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
What do you do?
