While I've been into RPG's since I was a kid I had never heard of Paranoia until I got into Traveller a couple of months ago (40+ years too late but not a day too early). However as I've been running through the Mongoose site checking up on Traveller material I keep getting notifications about this game and I must admit, that artwork and use of color (yes I am a Rubens lover) is stunning!!! Watching a few Youtube channel reviews tells me this could be a game near and dear to my black humored irrelevant tongue in cheek heart.
One potential big problem, the days of having friends into RPG's are decades in the past, having gone through the whole mid life thing where work and family take up the vast majority of your time I settled into mastering how to play games solo. D&D and ASL especially. I think I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this Paranoia but unless I really mistaken it does not make for a game that can be played solo unlike many others. I mean it often described as a player v. player kind of game. Fricking hard you would think to play solo.
So??? Is that a fair acessment of the game? Pretty much 0 suitablility for solo play, and if so. Is there a large community out there for perhaps playing online. With the caveat that I severely tech stupid and have only heard of things like Discord but never used it..
I want this game, may still get it just to enjoy the art and reading it, but I'd love to be able to play it.
