Somehow, I just managed to learn what SCP [0] is a couple of days ago. I've already started ~~stealing~~ working some of the ideas into a D&D campaign I'm running (on an improv basis.)

It's neat to see that SCP also resulted in some... reasonably novel thinking? Thanks for sharing, I'm going to pick this up.

I discovered it literally late last night and was going to start reading it today. I’m not really sure what it’s all about yet, but the fact that it’s number one on HN today is making me feel like everything is some kind of simulation for me and me alone and that the answers might be in the book itself.

Hey, I'm feeling the same way!

It is admittedly odd that I have been very online for a very long time and this is the first I can recall seeing this.

May I suggest some to start with?

Scp stories quality and style vary a lot and there are a lot of them. I would suggest:

- SCP-096

- SCP-3008

- SCP-294

- SCP-4666

To warm you up.

Well of course you can't recall it, it's an antimeme.
