Blog-or-Treat: SCP-2140 "Retroconverter" in The Madness Dossier

SCP-2140 was heavily inspired by GURPS Horror: The Madness Dossier, so why not write it as an Anunnaki glyph?

Nonsentient Allies

 The GURPS Ally (p. B36) advantage expressly allows nonsentient (IQ 0) allies (and even specifies that they have no cap on point cost relative to the PC; p.

Santa Claus and Signature Gear

Sgt. Clause gave himself a shave waver for Christmas.

Signature Gear is an advantage in GURPS that gives you a piece of equipment that's part of your character's concept and gives it "plot protection"; if you lose it (without deliberately getting rid of it) you will get an opportunity to get it back. Ideally this should work for characters who aren't wealthy but have some iconic bits of gear worth more then they could afford, but sometimes there are problems with the pricing.
