Would you give a little more details about that "randomize mutations" comment? Is it no longer the case that a character keeps the same mutation throughout all their clones?

Well I've bought the game because of the environment and flavor, and the mechanics are nice but not my focus. But when I run it I do it in a lighthearted way -- not zapzapzap (usually) but not serious. I can see where the mechanics become much more important in a more serious take.

You don't really need to worry about mechanics, you know. As the GM, just say, "Tell me what you're trying. If it's entertaining, it works in the way that I think would be most entertaining for me. If it's not entertaining, it may or may not work, in the way that I think would be most...

That thing in the works -- was it the removal of the Paranoia pages on this site? :( *pops some happy pills* The secrets of The Computer are completely secured from the Commies now! Hooray!

Congratulations to Gareth and his wife for producing clones!

Ah, thanks for that. I don't usually venture too far out of this little niche.

I can't help but notice that the entire "Upcoming Products" section is gone. Is Mongoose dropping the line? I hope not :(

On the Weapons Chart there's a Notes column. In that column, for several of the Cone rifle shells, there's an "area" note. ECM doesn't have that note. This is an indication that it affects only the target, much like a solid slug only affects its target. Think of Star Wars and other sci-fi...

Do you mean like The INFRARED Grind?

Ah. This is true. I've had way too many people who I know are excellent roleplayers completely lose that ability when sitting at a PARANOIA table, and instead simply point fingers and call The Computer every single time anyone does anything remotely treasonous. But when you get someone who...

There isn't? Gee, you could've fooled me. I had many different characters in the multiple times I played PARANOIA before the latest edition, and each was different from the other. Just because tics weren't a game mechanic doesn't mean there wasn't roleplaying!

Yes, SP1 is XP.

My copy seems to be missing several illustrations. In their place is a description of what the illustration would be. I've found these on pp. 36, 37, and 47 so far.
