SCP The Tabletop Roleplaying game lets you take on the role of members of The Foundation to help Secure, Contain, and Protect various anomalies throughout the globe.

This book was successfully funded on Kickstarter in early 2021 and made over 1500% of the goal to fund its artwork and was written with an easy explanation of the ruleset first and foremost (see full-size preview pages for basic dice rules).  

Backers of the Kickstarter suggested what SCPs would be included in the book, which contains 20 pages of SCP content with original artwork, descriptions, and game statistics.

This is an 8.5x11 full-size book of 292 pages.  This book, some dice, and an optional deck of SCP Drama Cards (sold separately) are all that is required to play.


SCP The Tabletop RPG offers a unique (optional) Drama Card system that allows players to draw from a deck of 82 unique effects to keep your Director (GM) on their toes.  Effects range from rerolling an attribute check to rewriting your character's backstory!

Players begin with a Security Level, which not only determines what sensitive data they are allowed access to within the Foundation, but also what weapons they have access to, and what pages in the book they are given free access to read (Director's discretion).

Content relating to the SCP Foundation, including the SCP Foundation logo, is licensed under Creative Commons Sharealike 3.0 and all concepts originate from scp-wiki.net and its authors. SCP The Tabletop RPG being derived from this content, is hereby also released under Creative Commons Sharealike 3.0 licence.

There is a section about the fabric of reality/humes & kant counters, but it doesn't go into detail about each SCP canon. :/

Question: So with the new "Reality Bending and You" expansion is it possible to play as anomalous personnel. Does that mean we can play as things like Shapeshifters, Kaijumancers, and the like?

Yes Elijah, you can play as anomalous personnel with the new Reality Bending expansion. The rules are very loose for magic, but it does cover how to handle Kaijumancy and shapeshifting. The group I'm running my players became type greens. I wouldn't suggest running your first game with reality benders but it can be a great reward to end long campaigns on. (It can be a bit OP!)

Question: Are there any rules for playing a sort of psionic/magical agent? Me and a friend were in a campaign before this came out, and we're thinking of picking it back up again but running it in this system. They were playing a character with some amount of magic powers, but we aren't sure how to translate that to this system.

Answer: A small group of fans are working on a Fan Expansion about thaumaturgy and magic, but until that's finsihed it shouldn't be too difficult to add some spells, as the system uses Exertion as a resource, that can be used as some kind of "mana".

I recommend joining the Discord Server, we are a small, but helpful community that can give you a hand with creating a mechanic for your friend's magic.

I love the game

BUT

"This is an 8.5x11 full-size book of 292 pages."

My pdf has 291, lacking a good illustrated cover page

seriously?

I find this lack of caring disturbing

I care! D': I had this "brilliant" idea that the table of contents would be best as the first page, since you can get there in one click to navigate the book easier, and then someone mentioned that they wanted the cover art, and I agree it would look nicer that way. But then after I added it, all the page numbering was off and the hyperlinks all got messed up! It was a nightmare! If you want to see the cover art (and some amazing others) check out artstation.com/jamesmaw

I am very interested in this, but I have a few questions before ordering it.
#1 Is there a starter adventure included, preferably with some pre-made characters, so you can start playing right away?
#2 Are the cards included in one of the book tiers or are they sold separately?
Best regards. Great that you actually made this!

One starter adventure is included. There are several pre-made NPC stats for general use.
Cards are sold separately (but are optional).
Hope you try it out!

Heya!

I've always been interested in the SCP universe, but my current knowledge about any background lore is extremely limited.
Does the book provide a general description or summary of the universe, and perhaps any examples on what kind of stories you could run in the SCP universe?

As the pleb that I am, I am only familiar with the famous SCP containment breach games.
Are adventures always set in The Foundation with the players being a certain class of personel during a breach, or are other kinds of (non-breach related) also possible?

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Yes, the book helps those unfamiliar with the SCP universe understand the fundamentals, and it includes one starter adventure. The game gives Directors (GMs) the freedom to let the PCs be members of the Foundation, start off as D-Class, be civilians, or even SCPs. The game does not force a narrative.

Once I get my next pay check I am definitely purchasing a copy of this amazing game Artwork is incredible, the flexible character creation system is a gem, and always wanted to tell my own SCP story! Ever since SCP: Containment Breach as well as its' sister MMO known as Secret Laboratory I hoped to explore SCP as a D&D game one day, looks like that day's finally come! :)

Thanks, Jason for addressing the confusion over the pricing. I don't get a response from many game devs. So that's settled. Regarding the game. I spent a little time going over the dice mechanics. I really think I can work with this! My friends and I consider our games carefully. We understand the symbiotic relationship with the companies that make these games. (yes I went there!)
I respectfully don't play games made by toy companies. I think there are a lot of innovative things going on at the indy level. Perhaps this is a game we can all get behind. I like that the players had a big part in the creation of this game. That's encouraging.
Ok, I'm done here. I'll take this to SCP's discord!

Ok one last question, so will the Kickstarter products be of better quality than the print-on-demand products? Should I have just spent my $80 on the Kickstarter and done the $75 pledge instead of the print-on-demand product?

The Kickstarter ended in January. After the funding was obtained it went into fulfillment of Backers and artwork. This is the final result of all that work. Backers got the book (from Drivethu) , cards, and top donators got to choose what SCPs were included in the book. 20 SCPs in total were suggested and I commitioned new artwork for them.

I think that's really cool that you have the players helping create content that made it's way to the book. I mentioned a few times that I'm big on community. This game really scratches that itch.

Drivethru increased the price of the Premium copies July 1st, and as a response I reduced the price from $75 down as much as I could, added the standard color option, and reduced the cost of the pdf. There was like a one hour period where the price was auto adjusted to $75.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
