Best SCPs between 002 and 100 for Tabletop Gaming People
SCP-001 is a bit of a meme entry; they kept it intentionally vacant for many years, then held a massive contest to find the best entry. The one they picked is fine but a lot of the alternate-world SCPs I find to be, while interesting, not in the sweet spot of SCP's strengths. If I ran the zoo I'd move them all to the story section (but I don't.) Anyway SCP-001 doesn't belong with SCP 002-100.
These are Very Early SCPs, often simple, text-only and short. A lot of the "mythos" of SCP has not been written; although a few factions (Global Occult Coalition, Are We Cool Yet? - see The Fifth Dimension below) make their first appearances there's little to discuss yet. This makes these early SCPs highly suggestive and very good for exploratory/open-ended gaming.
Now that I've put this together I realize this is a pretty good way for you to understand what I like about the SCP project. If it's strange, frightening, dangerous, perhaps a little silly or surreal, and described bureaucratically, that's a good SCP, to me (not coincidentally these are also the best for gaming because they're the most open-ended):
