Some Don't Sleep
Some Don't Sleep
You remember the light in the sky. It took you. The things came. They tested and probed you. You think. Maybe they did it for fun. You saw them send your boyfriend back. They shined a light in his eyes, he fell asleep, and he disappeared in a flash. They shined the light at you, but you didn't sleep. The things appeared to discuss you. One looked at you, an almost pitying voice said in your head some don't sleep. Some don't forget.
They took you far, far into their ship. Are you on a ship? The tests they did on you...changed you. You can feel a power inside you. What did they do? There are others here. Some are wearing clothes out of style for decades. Some look like hybrids of them and humans. They know things you don't. They say there are weapons nearby. Tools. They know where. A blast of energy leaps from your hand and the door explodes. You're getting out. Going home.
1st level dungeoncrawl through a gigantic spaceship. Class powers/abilities all possible because of alien tinkering. Races are human or hybrid (elves for sake of ease).
Jack Shear replaced dwarves with gray men in Devilmount, and I thought that was a cool idea. I even riffed on it some more, for some base for portraying the grays if you went that direction.

I've recently become enamoured with the concept that the "heroes" in D&D style settings are somehow different from normal people and that's why they do weird things like level up and gain skills just by killing things and overcoming obstacles (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? they are blessed and have literal character sheets on their backs, Log Horizon people live in an MMO world where they are governed by different rules from the "People of the Land" NPCs who are more numerous and seemingly sentient)
