It is a humanoid creature dressed in a full-length black overcoat and a plague doctor’s mask. One of the terrifying monsters from the SCP Foundation is SCP-049, also known as the “Plague Doctor”. The Foundation is funded by various sources and operates in secret to protect humanity from the dangers posed by the anomalous. It is organized into several specialized departments dedicated to maintaining normalcy and preventing the spread of anomalous knowledge. The SCP Foundation contains and documents anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. It might not be enough to let you play a game but it gives you a flavour of the system. There are tables for modifiers, a bit on combat and experience. Questions like “which dice do I use?” aren’t answered, so SCP RPG’s quickstart might be better suited to gamers with some experience. The download dives straight into the rules, explaining attribute checks, exploding dice, the rule of one and versus rolls. What we get is bounded in the yellow and black hazard tape design the RPG uses. There’s more text spent on showing the appropriate creative commons license, which enables people to work with SCP Foundation content, than there is for pitching the game. The virtual shop shelf doesn’t tell us much about the game except where to find the full book. We’re only getting seven pages, but they’re free. In a helpful move, 26 Letter Publishing have this week published SCP The Tabletop RPG Quickstart. The core rules are $19.99 for the PDF, and you might not feel you know enough about the SCP Foundation to make the leap from D&D or another game to this.
