Hello All,
I'm a long time GM and player, and have been without a game to play or run due to being a new father. I'm finding myself with more time, and am wanting to start running games again.
One concept I've been stewing on is a game that takes in elements of the Popular T.V. Show "Better Off Ted" (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvkr8AFqEBM) and Elements from the SCP Foundation(
http://www.scp-wiki.net/).
If you are not familiar, Better Off Ted is a office place sitcom comedy about a research and development team at a large faceless mega-corp. SCP, Short for Secure, Contain, Protect; is a fictional, clandestine paramilitary organization committed to keeping the supernatural secret, securing entities for-profit, and containing potential threats to the world at large.
My Head-cannon, is that Viridian Dynamics, the faceless mega-corp in Better off Ted, is the Commercial face for the SCP Foundation. while the employees at the company don't KNOW they work for this para-military organizations, some of their best technological and medical advancement have been in part to their supernatural interactions.
The game system would be in "Monster of the Week" (
https://img.4plebs.org/boards/...65/1401659317494.pdf). Monster of the Week is powered by the Apocalypse, meaning if you've played Apocalypse world or Dungeon world, you'd know the system. the system is focused on more of a every man thrust into the supernatural world. Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire slayer, and the Dresden Files are heavily mentioned source materials.
I'm committed to running this game, but I need to know what kind of interest for this style of game there is, before I start investing time and energy in making the game and starting to recruit players. Thoughts and advice are welcome as well. Have a favorite SCP article you want to share for game inspiration? please share for future plot fuel!
