Reality Bending and YOU! (SCP Tabletop RPG expansion, 1st edition)

I posted this review in the discussions already, but I'll post it here too for good measure:

I am personally a huge fan of expanding source mechanics for ttrpg systems I enjoy, especially when they build on what was already great or when they introduce a flexible new system that could be slapped on the core rulebook in a whim's notice. And that's exactly what's on the table!

As the SCP universe is rich with all kinds of crazy anomalies that can warp space and time, it only makes sense that perhaps some humans can learn this as well, perhaps from a genetic level, or perhaps they gained the power from an accidental anomalous effect. Either way, this system introduces a new proficiency called 'Reality Bending' which players can learn and grow. The higher the proficiency gets, the more you can do with it.

This is definitely a system that will usually only start to shine later on in a game, but it also allows players to think up ANY kind of weird anomalous effect they want to conjure up. You want to turn SCP-173 into a balloon version of itself? You got it! You want to summon Ronald McDonald and The Burger King mascot and force them to fight to the death? Not a problem! This system accounts mechanically for about 90% of the crazy stuff players can come up with.

This might sound extremely overpowered on paper, but do keep in mind this only REALLY come into play later on in a game. And even then, pulling off insane stuff is really time/resource-costly.

Anyway, I can definitely say that, out of all ttrpg's I've played (Star Wars RPG, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire the Masquerade, D&D), this 'magic' system really stands at the top of how fun it is to imagine your own spells and give them a mechanical form in this game!

SCP The Tabletop RPG (first edition)

An excellent entry in the already existing line-up of TTRPG's. Over the past 5 years, I have invested a lot of time in many different TTRPG's, such as Star Wars RPG from FFG but also Call of Cthulhu 7th edition from Chaosium. This TTRPG, however, brings several super unique (and fun) elements to the genre, such as the drama card system, where even players can influence the story by throwing some nice curveballs at the GM, and the mutilation mechanic, which implements a smooth way to introduce various damage types and permanent wounds characters can endure.

Overall, I would say the general rule system of this TTRPG flows pretty well, from the RP to the combat. When I first bought this book about 1 - 2 months ago, there were still some minor parts that really needed some rewording for clarification. I was happy to witness first-hand how quickly and passionately the creator responded to this, immediately going about to review and fix some of the issues.

With a fairly oversaturated market when it comes to TTRPG's, I'm happy to see that some writers still have the balls to try some new stuff to enhance the 30 - 40 year old formula and I think the SCP Tabletop RPG does a lot of things right in this regard.

For a more indepth view of the physical book itself, check out my review on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afW716MaFC0

Have a nice day and Secure. Contain. And Protect.
