Paranoia returns
YAY! Can't wait. Besides a few shadowrun books (hopefully) this will be the only rpg related thing I'll buy this year. And thank god that "megawhoops" and all are now classified by friend computer as non-products. Whooooopi! |

Believing in a god mightier than the Computer is treason. Please report to the nearest confession booth. |

There has been talk of the concept of something mightier than the computer. I'm afraid you're not cleared for that information, citizens. *Zap zap zap zap zap*

I hear you. Mine either. How can you not love any game that makes a character responible for testing rocket-powered pogo roller-skates while dodging Commie mutant laser-fire? |

I've played Paranoia 3 times.
The first two sucked, the Gm was totally favoring certain players, left a sour taste in my mouth, dropped it. Years went by. Then one day, me and 3 of my friends are standing in a hall at a gaming con, chit chatting when suddenly a tiny little woody allen acting man with a thick new york accent (we're in Montreal) turns the corner and looks overjoyed to see us. "There you are!" He exclaims. "This way" he continues as he cuts through us and proceeds down the hall. We kinda look at each other and shrug, deciding to follow this strange little man. He walks into a room, sits down, and tells us to sit, so, being all clever, we sit. He hands out characters and just starts GMing Paranoia. There followed 4-5 hours of the most fun I've ever had gaming. It was sheer sillyness, great roleplaying, colorful NPCs and chaos and mayhem for everyone. It ended with us competing our assignment of guarding this 4 block super self aware tank. we were all down to our last clones, except for Nova... he had 2 left. During the debriefing, we were each asked whether we felt that the tank could replace the infantry or if the tank should be scrapped and the infantry reinforced. We all had our own answers, picking one or the other... Except Nova, he suggested the two work together. We were all executed by whichever party we didn't choose. Nova got killed by both. =) We were all dead, dead, dead. Nova felt as though perhaps he had been cheated of his victory and with mild annoyance on his face, turned to the little man as he was throwing his books into his bag and preparing to leave. "So what SHOULD we have answered?" He asks, preparing for a discussion on the matter. The little man, grabbed his bag, looked up with a smile and shouted. "ALL HAIL THE COMPUTER!! THE COMPUTER IS MY FRIEND!!" and left the room. Game, set and match. Haven't played since, there's no follw up to that gaming session. Sunday |

I played a few times, it's a good game. One of the players set off a thermonuclear explosion that killed us all. Unfortunetly the computer kept launching clones to our last location, right into the expanding blastwave. Yeah, that was fun.
GM: "You launch, you are vaporized" GM: "You launch, you are vaporized" Player: "Please for the love of god do not LAUNCH!" GM: (from computer) "Your request has been noted citizen and will be logged with the proper authorities." GM: "You launch, you are vaporized" GM: "You launch, you are vaporized" GM: "You launch, you are vaporized" Needless to say we had a blast. |

I thought clones were never blamed for the actions of their predecesors? And doesn't it take about 5 minutes for a clone to arrive? How big a nuke was that?
