A setting with something happening in it

Explore 160 settings across eight genres, with 20 per genre. Filter by setting type; a small collection may return fewer results than requested. Names stay attached to their situations: changing a name does not count as a new idea. The collection shuffles before repeating and is shared by all visitors.

Example

Station Twelve sells artificial gravity by the hour. When the billing network fails, its clinic has to negotiate with the gym for the last prepaid gravity credits.

Develop the setting

Decide who works here, who controls access, and what a visitor notices first. Then write a scene in which someone tries to solve the problem and another person objects.
