You can usually get hold of some plain, coloured, non-printed t-shirts pretty cheaply. I've bought them before for things like five a side football. It would be excellent to see people wearing clothing in their correct security clearance around the table, especially if promotion involves the...

Thanks Allen ! I especially like the idea of insurance, now if there was an area of real life designed to cause paranoia that would be it ! Might play around with that idea and see if I can use it to make my troubleshooters lives any harder.

I seem to have hit upon a small problem with my players, who after years of D&D brainwashing have begun the annoying tactic of "I'll search his body". This brings up two equipment-related questions which I've been puzzling over, and I hope someone might be able to help with. Firstly how can I...

I've just finished writing a little red review of this for RPGnet, which should appear there shortly. Essentially it is a copy of the players section of the rules, but its more convenient to have it in a seperate booklet. It explains the background, character creation and what the skills mean...

I'm still confused about these after many years of playing Paranoia in one version or another. As a GM I tend to deal with them differently depending on how much time I have left and how many clones the players have left. But are debriefings supposed to cover the actions of earlier clones, or...

I am ! At the moment I've a group of mature gamers who find it hard to commit to a regular game of anything due to life commitments ( jobs, family, etc ). Paranoia is perfect at providing a great evenings entertainment for all concerned and works excellently as a one off every now and then. As...

So far I have not bought the Lonewolf RPG simply because of what I have heard and seen of the artwork, even though I love the game world. I've now heard that Gary Chalk has been commisioned to do the artwork for the French version of the Lonewolf RPG. Unfortunately my French isn't good enough to...

With R Talsorian shooting themselves in the foot with Cyberpunk 3rd Edition changing the setting, and Shadowrun 4th Edition being badly received by fans there is a gap in the market for a decent noir style RPG. A few small independant games companies have made an effort ( Corporation and Haven...

There was a Doctor Who RPG, once. It came out in a normal paperback size format, and was about as popular as a randy dog at a Miss Lovely Legs competition. I can't remember who published it but the game allowed you to play the existing doctors and their companions up to Sylvester McCoy's Doctor...

Can WMD be converted from a Straight mission into a Classic mission ? If so, would it take much work and would the end result be worth it. Reading reviews of WMD it sounds like the setup could work well for a Classic style game, and I'm always on the lookout for new adventures.

I've read through the descriptions I can find about Sector Zero but it doesn't seem to mention anywhere what style the adventures are written in. They sound like Classic adventures to me, but unless I'm being really unobservant it doesn't say this anywhere :roll: Are they Classic, Straight or...

I had a dream in which I ate my pillow, and when I woke up my giant marshmallow was gone....... Sorry ! Couldn't resist :D

Actually an old White Dwarf adventure for Paranoia, the title does present an interesting question though. In a recent foray into Alpha Complex my groups party of troubleshooters were due to be interrupted from their sleep once again to serve the Computer. Just out of curiousity I asked each...

Was that the Games Workshop version of Mad Max ? I always remember being put off that by the cheap plastic models Games Workshop produced for it. You had to be quite a skilled modeller to get them to look any good. Loved the idea, hated Games Workshop doing it on the cheap. Then again Steve...

Another brave troubleshooter bites the dust....
