This is a big one, and it's not really something that's at all easy to explore in one RR, or ten, since there's over three thousand SCPs right now, and counting.
Actually before I go on here's a link to what I am talking about.
http://www.scp-wiki.net/
Now I read this pretty much every day while I wait for people to reply when I RP, I love it, it's a lot of great ideas and a lot of interesting themes. it sort of hit the public radar with that containment breach game but that only highlights the facility setting, the experience of a disposable D-class dude already slated for execution, and the fan favourite exciting and dangerous entities. There's so much more we're capable of exploring beyond that, though.
I've even taken a few of these little ideas, the more toned-down ones that seemed like they would fit and put them into little things in my RP. That being said, I remember somebody legitimately trying to RP the sentient computer, the old AI, SCP -079 (http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-079) a little over two years ago. That didn't go so well.
The reason this interests me is because of the variety is has in this one setting. We can literally just hit the random button on the site and be taken to an idea that's worth considering. One of over 3000 ideas, and it's not all scary, exciting, or dangerous stuff. One is a coffee machine that will procure literally any liquid you type into it, including the liquefied organs of your buddy Joe when you ask for a "cup of Joe".
We could play out the fan favourites, 682, the hard to destroy reptile http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-682, sure. Or we could hit random and end up on SCP-1000 (http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1000) and find ourselves planning a bigfoot hunt, which right there could be good fun.
We could play out a normal town, a normal urban setting, and normal people even. Not tell people what SCP there are and play it out. have a few agents, scale it up. This is an idea I think an be explored over and over, especially if we ever hit a stumbling block or need more time to plan other bigger RR sessions. These all make great pre-fabricated little ideas we can just craft a loose frame around.
And I've only gone over the more tangible stuff. There's astral planes of reality, entire factions and hierarchies already fleshed out we can adapt, and a lot of good stuff to potentially explore.
But if it's not an idea other people like why would we do it?
