You must like the Little Misters, then. Turned into living collectibles by a deranged toymaker, all friendly and approachable but still horribly screwed up and often dangerous to people around them through no fault of their own.

DOCTOR WONDERTAINMENT (Trademark) is not responsible for any injury.

No real indication they're "Turned into", that seems a bit factoryesque. DOCTOR WONDERTAINMENT (Trademark) would probably find creating life whimsy.

Speaking of Misters:
I don't get why they don't put Mister Hungry in charge of the respawning cakes.

They are just more "Oogly boogley" monsters. I see more messed up stuff on Episodes of Generator Rex .

This stuff feels genuinely off, and unexplained, crazy, maddening and dangerous.

Actually I like the happier ones too, but that's really not the point of the site. Rightfully so - the happy or funny ones are made all the more so with contrast - but man, the Foundation is not a nice place.

Somewhere in the comments for that piece, they made some versions of it on a mock-up Foundation official letterhead specifically for that purpose. It's pretty cool. I assume you're talking about that?

Links...right...
Those were very fun. I'm going to have to go with SCP-1303 as my favorite, being a big fan of caves myself. SCP-1927 despite being "contained" is rather creepy when you stop to wonder how many times it may have spilt, before the SCP got their hands on it.

I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but this http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-670 is one of my absolute favorite SCPs. I'm not even sure why, if I'm being honest, just something about them makes me love them ^^ I just wish there were more stories about them, I kind of feel like they are rather neglected, and it's a shame, just seems like there is so much untapped potential with them.

Not sure if this should go in the "Older D&D/AD&D and Other Systems" section but does anyone else think the Foundation would be great in a WOD game (or similar RPG's)? How would you weave them into the existing setting?

They'd work quite well as a Tier 3 Hunter Conspiracy, if you could find them a 'niche' that wasn't already occupied by the Chiron Group or TF:V. I've seen it suggested several times before.

You clearly never figured out the secret - when you're on the circular track, you turn around and run the opposite direction. You moving slower will be countered by the other runners stopping to look and/or laugh at you for doing it wrong, but you'll end up running the same distance and can argue that you won.

I've gathered a couple of buddies together for Exalted, with ancient SCPs as notable foes.

For example, 173 was a statue in a hall full of many identical statues. The worst part is that while it's kept under control, those who guard it go mad with the fear of staring at the wrong statue.

Or an outbreak of 610 for the benefit of a cult of Abyssals. It ended with a good chunk of the continent becoming a fleshy mass of SCP-610. Oh yes, it was disgustingly marvelous.

My personal favorite though, was the discovery of a creature not unlike 682. This being recognized as having been secured under protocol 682 (assuming the Foundation existed in this world), it proceeded to run amok and destroy a good number of homes before it escaped into the Wyld and right into a Lunar camp, which promptly annihilated it. While my friends weren't entirely familiar with the Foundation (I introduced them the week previous), I was, and the satisfaction of having my friends (as the Lunars) kill 682 brought me so much joy.

Anyways, that story is on hold until I can think of new SCPs to incorporate. There was the SCP children that could turn people into dolls (I was thinking about using that one), or the SPC (as a joke for my friend's birthday this weekend).

The SPC Foundation. Look it up.

I was going to link to and, and then I saw the white text. Pretty neat idea. Everyone dies due to laziness.



And I think the Foundation could be reasonably introduced into an oWoD game. Ignore the werewolves and vampires and mages and nonsense, and just go for a Call of Cthulu-esque horror scenario. Hell, throw in a SAN meter. It'll go over well with all the cognito-/infohazard SCPs. And with WoD you can essentially make monsters from scratch.

And now I want to play that game.


Edit: Also I was just reading this. Nice use of subtle creepiness.
