Previously, I posted a thread about a computer-generated novella I written. Later on, I posted another novella, but forgot to cross-post it here. The two novellas are in different continuities, but probably share the same sort of general theme and "STRAIGHT-style" writing. * The Computer...

Er...it turns out that I might have misremembered the details of that argument. I strongly suspect the argument was actually between Dystopian Rhetoric and Gerzel, another poster on Paranoia-Live. So Gerzel is the one who came up with most of the details surrounding Vatman22 Complex, and really...

More Alternate Complexes for you to look at... - Dungeon - Cold War Complex - Vapor Complex --- As an interesting side-note, both "Vapor Complex" and "Vatman22 Complex" came out of a debate between Dystopian Rhetoric and Vatman22 over what ULTRAVIOLETs actually do in the complex. Dystopian...

After being inspired by the online PARANOIA XP Mission Blender by Alan De Smet, I developed my own PARANOIA mission generator and open-sourced it to the general public. If you like it, please leave me a review so that I can constantly improve on it and make it better. Some new features that I...

I could see some GMs preferring to treating each clone unique so that if players unmask Adam-R-LON-3 as being a Matter Eater who is member of the Romantics, then they don't treat Adam-R-LON-4 as being a Matter Eater who is a member of the Romantics (and so don't get to terminate Adam-R-LON-4 to...

Here's some more updates to Alternate Alpha Complexes... - Time Tunnel - Vatman22 Complex - How To Create Your Own Complex/Setting I think that last link may be super-important. Obviously, Alternate Alpha Complexes cannot be a complete documentation of every single complex ever made by fans or...

I assumed the new clone is no longer considered guilty of a treason committed by the previous clone, if the previous clone was already punished for that treason (since the new clone would remember the punishment and thus will be deterred from future treason). For example, this is how the...

This dialog, written by Stanislaw Lem, is essentially an argument against the possibility of "clone immortality" (the idea that you can essentially 'live forever' by cloning yourself and your memories). Clone immortality tends to be used in games like PARANOIA and Eclipse Phase, so it's...

+1 from me. I like the fact that you mentioned the "satire and dark humor", as that's probably the biggest selling point for PARANOIA (at least in my opinion). And because the game is so flexible (and the GM is always right), it's very easy to drop in new mechanics and fluff into the game, to...

Recently updated the site to include information on the Mezcalinzan complex and the elusive "Spy For Another Alpha Complex" secret society. Probably will no longer be updating the site, due to me no longer playing PARANOIA. But it might still be useful for you. When writing this site I gave...

National Novel Writing Month is a month where people attempt to write a novel (defined as text that has 50,000 words or more). National Novel Generation Month is a month where people attempt to write code that will generate a novel (text that has 50,000 words or more). For this month, I decided...

Yet the supplements were eventually canned most people preferred missions instead. Hence why the second relaunch focused mostly on releasing missions (with all fluff stuffed within the main rulebook). And for those dedicated fans who did buy the supplements, there were enough mission ideas in...

That is very relevant, thanks Da Boss. I have added the complex to the Alternate Alpha Complexes website.

Considering how 1st Edition and Internal Security* both agree with Iron Domokun, and that it is a way to easily generate an Alpha Complex, I really should add that "complex" onto the website. It is, after all, just as "legitimate" as the other complexes on that site. However, Iron Domokun, the...

1st Edition has a map of CBI sector, which was used in the pre-generated mission creatively titled Destination: CBI Sector. I like the idea of using this map as a template of all Alpha Complex sectors. The map doesn't really add a whole lot of detail, allowing you, the GM, to invent stuff up...
