SB-COUP
SOVIET BUREAU OF CRYPTIC OCCURRENCES & UNKNOWN PHENOMENONS
An alternative cold war tabletop RPG inspired by the SCP foundation. You are an Agent of the Soviet Bureau of Cryptic Occurrences and Unknown Phenomenons. Your job is to protect the motherland from darkness. As to your pension... It is theoretical.
A GAME ABOUT STUDYING THAT WHICH DOES NOT WANT TO BE UNDERSTOOD
In SB-COUP, the Administrator (Your usual game master) writes a Scene and runs it.
Everyone else play as Agents: Soldiers and scientists sent into madness by a bureaucratic organization that could not care less for their fates.
Scenes can swing from political spy intrigue to surreal horror. Let your imagination loose. Only ████████is the limit !
Note: A Session 0 is strongly recommended. SB-COUP, through its horror aspects, can be triggering for certain people. It is therefore essential to set boundaries together as to what might be described by The Administrator and what themes might be explored.
SB-COUP game system is heavily inspired by the zero day system. As such, it is played with 6 sided dices. Please be sure to have those before starting a game.
AN ALTERNATE SOVIET UNION WHERE REALITY IS AS STABLE AS THE SPIRIT.
When They told me that my talents were wasted in the Kremlin. I did not understand.
DR KATARINA MIESCHER — RESEARCHER
When they told me my work on DNA was only child’s play. I did not understand.
When they told me I was but pretending to be a god. I did not understand.
But I do know. I have seen gods.
And they hate us.
