Here are some examples, to greater and lesser degrees:Dragonlance: The PCs were the main characters. It was a continuation of an earlier campaign where this was literally the case (Tanis, Caramon, Raistlin, and Sturm were all PCs) but the new characters were mostly new (Gilthanas was the only canon character and he was… very different). They fought the War of the Lance, won handily, and drove Chaos from the world. There were lots of changes - Kitiara had become a Solamnic Knight and ally, Tanis joined the bad guys.Star Wars: The PCs were all original and put in the place of the main characters in the original trilogy. There was a runaway princess who turned out to be working for the Imperials, a naive young Jedi from Tatooine, two Rebel agents, and a former Hand of the Emperor. Again, things were different - Palpatine turned out to have built the Empire to resist an invasion he foresaw and was assassinated by Thrawn, secretly an invader agent - and the PCs overcame. The princess character turned out to be the daughter of Palpatine and Mon Mothma and became a mostly benevolent Empress.Marvel: The PCs were the main heroes in a version of the Marvel Universe where no character who’s ever been in a live action film existed. This was back in 2012 or so, so we still had Black Panther leading the Avengers (Wasp, Ant-Man, Tigra, Captain Marvel) whom he’d formed to avenge his father’s death, hence the name. It turned out that BP was working with the Shi’ar to facilitate an invasion of Earth in return for Wakanda retaining sovereignty.X-Men (current): The PCs are the equivalent of the X-Men in a world where Nimrod travelled back in time and murdered every single significant mutant before they could resist the rise of the Sentinels. They’re still speedrunning Krakoa.</blockquote>
