Introduction

The ever-constant rain lightly taps against the window of a dimly-lit studio in some back corner of the city. Against the far wall, a person sits hunched over a heap of twisted metal. Sparks fly as they weld, lighting the room as though the storm’s lightning was striking indoors. Maybe it was. A knock at the door startles the subject of our attention, who halts for a moment before ignoring the knocking and resuming work.

"U.I.U., open up!”, calls a voice from the other side of the door.

The person stiffens, dropping their tools to the table. In a flash, they tear away their welding mask revealing a scarred, semi-robotic face twisted in a scowl. They grab a backpack off the bed as they race for the back door. There’s one group no Anartist wants to deal with, and they’re currently banging at the door.

Warped World is a standalone tabletop RPG which takes place in the warped, darkly magical world(s) of the SCP body of fiction. This ruleset is designed to be fairly flexible in order to be able to support games in a myriad of different possible settings the SCP 'multiverse' can provide, whether the desire is to run a dungeon-crawl campaign following a Foundation mobile task force, to an Anartist gang causing chaos for the U.I.U. and so much more.
