The SCP Foundation protects the world from entities, locations and objects whose very existence violate natural law. Sometimes the price in lives is a heavy one, but the various threats, collectively known as SCP’s, do not allow for mercy or pity. There is only survival or death.
One such SCP has shown itself in Brooklyn and a team of foundation agents must discover the true extent of the threat before it can possibly destroy the foundation itself.

OK. I can see lots of my time in the future going to that wiki. Really enjoying the story so far.
Interesting. I take it this is a NWoD hack without GMC (hence no Athletics added to defense?)
Either way, great story so far. Love the source material.
It’s a NWoD hack, yes, but the Defense thing wasn’t on purpose- I completely flaked on letting them add their Athletics. Good catch. If we continue this game (and indications are good that we will) I’ll definitely make sure they have their Athletics added.
… and then try harder to kill them.
I *knew* I was right about athletics! BAM!
Didn’t we catch it during the second half?
The clap?
So, I’m predicting that the Flood will be back in Halo: Overlord. And hopefully it won’t focus on Spartans for once, but on mentally unstable ex-marines living on a Human Colony and trying to contain flood outbreaks…
I absolutely loved the in-media-res opening. I’ve been wanting to do that in a game for a while.
Hey TrystonG33K, really glad you liked it. It was a bit of a risk, starting like that in a new game with no explanation or set up, but I figured with these players, we could make it work, and it’d be a fun way of showing the kind of danger and things they do on a regular basis, better than just dry exposition. Glad to hear it worked for you. 🙂
This intro was completely unrealistic. Come on. Bungie, putting a sentient, mind-controlling paint can in its games? They’ve never done anything ridiculous like that b–
*thinks back to the Gravemind*
Oh. My. God. That explains EVERYTHING!
I love how you leaned into the risk of that in-media-res opening—it really works perfectly for an SCP actual play. There’s no slow, boring info dump, just immediate, tense danger that fits the whole SCP Foundation vibe of agents jumping into the deep end with a weird, unpredictable anomaly. That little mistake with the Athletics defense was such a relatable GM slip-up too; I’ve definitely forgotten small rule details mid-game when I’m caught up in the story. Can’t wait to listen to the second half to see how the Brooklyn investigation unfolds!
This sounds like an incredibly cool SCP campaign! The concept of the Foundation dealing with a threat in Brooklyn, especially one that could endanger them internally, is fantastic. I’m already hooked by the premise, and it’s great to hear you’re enjoying the story enough to dive into the SCP wiki. Good catch on the Athletics defense, it’s those little tweaks that can really enhance the gameplay. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. For anyone looking to calculate their in-game resources or potential risks, a reliable tool like the BA II Plus Financial Calculator could even come in handy for managing complex scenarios! Can’t wait for the next update.
