Hi all, I just picked up this book and am relatively new to Paranoia. I know a little bit about Paranoia XP and the second edition. Reading through it, I have some questions. 1. Are service firms supposed to still exist? They are mentioned on page 7 but not detailed anywhere. I'm guessing no...

Thanks Rurik.

I can't find a review of this book anywhere. Can someone please tell me if this book includes the updated rules found in Runequest Deluxe (how to handle skills over 100, combat stuff, etc.)? Also, I see this game and Hawkmoon are self-contained. What about Slaine and Lankhmar? Thanks!

I can see what you're saying Vincent. I just think that CRs make the job easier. You, the GM, know exactly how tough a creature is when you put him in the game. That does not mean you have to design perfectly balanced characters, but it does help you pick the best creatures for the job at...
