Having a look at the upcoming releases, I see it's disappeared off the deck. Oh well, back to the end of the PLC queue again...

Mutie Whack isn't the expansion is it? The game could do with mutant powers added in but if it isn't then I suppose we'll be waiting even longer for it...

Ah. I was thinking of a small group and people trying to top the previous accuser in outlandish Alpha complex logic. Fifty people is probably a bit too large for that.

From what I understand, Paranoia LARPs are easily filled with puzzles for people to try to unlock. The classic green corridor and red troubleshooter team stands out here, of course. I haven't done a LARP before, but if I did I'd take advantage of Paranoia's in-built underhandedness and do some...
