As much as I like the SCP Foundation, I really wish that it was The Holders that took off instead.
In any city, in any country, there’s a mental institution or halfway house you can try any of these in. There were 2538 of these Objects, but 2000 were lost.
The remaining 538 must never come together. Ever.
Ironically, because the old site was lost to history/the wayback machine; and the only wikias I’ve found that bind these stories only have up to #538, if that, now there really are 2000 missing Objects.
I always felt like you could have a monster-of-the-month kind of table revolving around some of the more nightmarish Objects; some kind of high fantasy iteration of the Foundation or the Bureau that’s trying to secure these objects to keep them from falling into the hands of civilians and all that
A lot of why I liked it is you also didn’t need super-deep knowledge of esoteric terminology, like while I appreciate the hard roleplay of the Foundation, there’s a point where the redactions get to be a bit much, and you start feeling like “you made that word up.” There’s something that feels a whole lot forbidden about the Holders by nature of it always feels like you’re reading the journals of the deranged regarding these Objects.
I had the old site pulled up on the wayback machine a couple days ago but it’s being finicky about being found again; so here’s the link to the most complete Wikia I’ve found binding them together.

The Holders were so amazing. They directly inspired my series/dnd campaign’s 99 Blessings of the Hundred Days of Night.
The way that the Holders series was written was far scarier imho because of the fact you could supposedly actually go hunting for them.
