YAY!

More Paranoia fun to come from Mongoose including a Big Book of Bots and The Thin Green Line!

Wooooooooooop!

 

[KnightofNEE]

Yes, I say a congrats is in order to all those involved. So congrats all those involved!

 

[darth_azabrush]

Definately. Keep up the good work.

IC books might be a good idea to look into. Stuff's C-Bay pages look so cool I can imagine a full 101 Fun Songs to Sing in Line book looking great!

Ya, but according to the license, you now have to vote Tory. :twisted:

 

[darth_azabrush]

So what I vote them anyway!

The Thin Green Line: PCs as Vulture Warriors? In games I've GMed, the Vultures, alone among all of Alpha Complex, worked with terrifying efficiency. I wonder how they're going to screw over the players or otherwise keep the requisite Paranoid atmosphere?

Regular Armed Forces grunts, the "green goons" probably aren't interesting enough to roleplay...

Still, I'm sure the book will be better than Paramilitary, the West End Games equivalent. That was poor.

Think Platoon, think Full Metal Jacket. Then add a mad Computer, overly officious officers, the ever present Communist threat, and squad mates each with different agendas. . .

 

[Danforth]

That sounds promising, particularly as a Straight game - the Full Metal Jacket movie in particular mixes humour and paranoia to great effect. In Classic style I'm not sure, in game terms, how different it would be from Troubleshooter duty... go on, make it a Straight-centric book!

The parellel I automatically drew was with Starship Troopers.
