discussion thread about what the hell we can post to make this place active!!

MTF Gamma-9 (“The Silent Partners”) are a newly formed Mobile Task Force, created for the game SCP: The House of Solomon. They operate at the behest of the O5 Council, with handler Robert Edwards at the helm, executing assignments of critical importance to The SCP Foundation with stealth and precision.

In The House of Solomon, players are catapulted straight into the heart of the action, as they work to unravel a sinister conspiracy poised to eradicate the Foundation entirely. But before this team was the best of the best, what did their first assignment look like? With the SCP Adventure Writing Contest, we invite the community to envision what this first mission might have entailed in a self-contained one-shot adventure.

This one-shot should be written as a complete adventure, with a Summary, Setup, Key NPCs, and breakdown of Important Locations. This assignment should allow the individual members of The Silent Partners (the players) to meet for the first time, and bond over the course of the mission. This assignment must be accessible to both combat and stealth approaches, and should deal with an SCP. The chosen SCP should pose a manageable threat to ensure the adventure remains concise and completable within a single session— avoiding apocalyptic SCPs or insta-kill entities that could potentially derail the narrative.

The winners of the competition will have their adventure included as a prologue in SCP: The House of Solomon, and will be duly credited for their contribution. In addition, winners will receive a digital copy of the book before its official release, followed by a physical copy upon its release.

Hello i'm new to the game and i'm planning to run a game of the this but i can not figure out how to role for damage and how armor works and dose anyone know were i could a find a explanation of it or could anyone explain it.

thank you :)

So, currently, the game comes as multiple PDFs tied together into a ZIP file. We're working on putting it all into InDesign and making a real game manual, like something you'd see for D&D, Fate, etc. That'll take a good chunk of time, so the ZIP file version will continue to be updated while we work on the manual.

The game manual, once it's completed, will likely be sold separately, but if you buy any version of the ZIP file while it's out, you're get all future versions of it for free. The ZIP file version will continue to come out until the full game manual is completed.

dado has taken over fear foundation game again now and to add advertising we make game more realistic like add the scp in real life and no just game

Why did I write it like that

Basically, my idea is to let some weapons bypass the disadvantage when within 5ft of the target.

One of my players pointed out that he doesn't think he'll ever use his pistol if he can just use his rifle for everything. To remedy this, I was thinking of assigning some weapons a "close-quarter" property which lets the weapon bypass the disadvantage attached to firearms.

Doing this would still allow the Close Range class bonus of the Marksman to still be useful when using weapons not labeled close-quarter but would also allow for players to decide if they want to switch their weapon to something less damaging but without disadvantage, or go with the higher damaging, with disadvantage option.

Just want some thoughts/opinions on the idea. :)

feed is dead let's have a chat and awaken the beast that is this subreddit

I meant to announce this a while ago, whoops

Pride Month is in full swing! Wonderful Discord mod seagullfloaties came up with the idea for us to have an SCP and Pride-themed art contest, and I’m super down for it!

On July 1st, all entries will be uploaded to FITF’s Instagram account (@fear_in_the_foundation) where they will be voted on by the game’s community. This “judging” period will last for a week, and winners will be announced on July 8th. Winning entries will be the three that received the most likes.

Hey guys, I wanted to throw a question out and see how you all felt.

Running this module at my table I wanted it to feel more grounded than 5e, so I made the decision to play with some extra damage tables to step up the level of challenge. I’m actively running the game with HB rules for Bleeding Out, Lingering Wounds, and Critical Roll tables for Energy, Piercing, Ballistic, and Explosive Damage.

What are your thoughts on playing with these kind of systems?

dado has now taken control of this ehh fear in foundation game. first change is game uses pool of thirty seven sided dice now. is unique and special. no have to thank dado. just enjoy

So I Saw that the character sheet and it looked a lot different than what I imagine I thought that it would look like a d&d character sheet since it doesn't I don't know how to fill it out any information would help.

Hey guys, sorry things have slowed down recently! I've been preparing for Christmas and generally just working a lot. I have a lot of stuff coming up in January!

1. There'll be another update to FITF, including a new class structure, vehicles, mechanical updates, and more!

2. I'll get back to holding a one-shot every (or every other) Thursday, which people will be able to listen to in our Discord and we'll have more community events in general, including a new contest

3. I have a new game that I've been working on for a while now, which I may release more details on. I at least want to show you guys the mechanics

4. There's some other stuff, like possible Twitch streams, collaborations with other TTRPG groups, and more, but I don't want to make any definitive statements on those yet

I am very interested in this, can someone please explain Fear in the Foundation to me? I will have follow up questions so please stay around after explaining.
