Object Class: Safe

An instance of SCP-XXXX

Description: SCP-XXXX refers to 126 164 anomalous identical icosahedrons. Each face is numbered 1-20, consistent with common Role-playing games. SCP-XXXX is inert when not in use, and is in every way unremarkable. SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties manifest when in contact with a human (Here-on referred to as subject) that intends to participate in a 'game' that requires more than one player.

When SCP-XXXX's properties manifest, it will be absorbed into the subject's skin, in a manner similar to [DATA EXPUNGED]. This process will occur in an identical manner regardless of the area of contact's surface area or volume. 6-██ seconds after SCP-XXXX is completely absorbed by the subject, a stylized 'd20' tattoo will appear between the subject's shoulder blades.

After the appearance of the tattoo, SCP-XXXX produces 1-███ duplicates of the subject equivalent to the number of players required. The clones are exactly identical to the subject, including memories, personality, and the newly formed tattoo. Subject and clone(s) are to be referred to as players as they are now indistinguishable. The duplication process has been observed to be anywhere from pleasurable, to excruciatingly painful.

+ Level 2 clearance - Acess Granted Digital rendering of the tattoo produced by SCP-XXXX. After the replication process is complete the players will set about playing the game of choice, making any necessary adjustments to themselves, and their environment. During the set-up phase, players have a notably higher efficiency in successfully retrieving pieces , and configuring the game. Researchers debate about whether the increased efficiency is an anomaly, or the product of the players possessing like minded thinking. Once all of the necessary prerequisites have been fulfilled, the players will play until a victory is achieved. Player metabolism is significantly reduced, but not completely halted, despite this there has yet to be a player that has displayed the need to defecate, or urinate.

Players will play until a clear victory is achieved. For this reason, games of skill are not recommended, as all players will initially have a skill equivalent to that of the subject. Drugs have proven effective ways of giving players an advantage (or disadvantage). Players have been known to attack each other, however this is rare .

Once a session has concluded the 'losers' will disintegrate. The 'victor' however, will continue to live, and take the place of the original subject. Once every 'loser' has completely disintegrated, (a process that takes a dramatic 6-8 seconds), SCP-XXXX will emerge from the forehead of the victor, and the tattoo will instantly fade.

+ Wondertainment advertisement - Wondertainment advertisement Due to the efforts of Dr.[shaggydredlocks] the Foundation was able to recover 38 additional instances of SCP-XXXX each one in its own unopened plastic pouchs, featuring a [REDACTED] label that read as follows Feeling alone? Feeling blue? Wondertainment has friends for you!
