As a Troubleshooter, you are a member of Alpha Complex’s most expendable elite force. Tasked with finding trouble and shooting it, you will be hunting mutants, terrorists, traitors, [CLASSIFIED], secret societies, renegade bots, and DAIVs, which are [REDACTED]. You’ll save Alpha Complex from its greatest threat, unless you accidentally become Alpha Complex’s greatest threat.
Completely rebuilt from the ground up, Paranoia is the classic RPG of a darkly humorous future, rebooted for a humorously dark present. All-new mechanics include a simple yet brilliant character-generation system, a bluffing-based card-driven combat system that encourages creativity, clever moves and lying, a special Computer Dice which means even the simplest interaction can become hilariously fatal, in-game XP point rewards, and more advice to GMs than you can shake a stick at. Three single-session adventures introduce you painlessly to the new mechanics and background, and are designed to be played straight out of the box.
Everything is the same but everything is different.
You look worried, citizen. Relax! It’s still Paranoia. The year is still 214. You still have six clones and a laser pistol. The Computer is still your friend.
Paranoia: Red Clearance Edition Reviews
-
A smart update of the classic game of betrayal, backstabbing, and, er, paranoia for the current state of tabletop culture. Still funny, still savage, only now a bit more plausible.
-
Friend Computer, mandatorily, wishes you to like this newest incarnation of a classic game. Dice mechanics have changed in a way I like. Dice pools make me happy as does a curve of success versus a straight line.
The new method of character generation is also entertaining, but requires everyone to be present. I have not looked into how to replace characters who lose their last clone. -
I've played the Paranoia RPG more than a few times, it's always a blast. If you're into chaotic, goofy, absurdist, comically dystopian settings and cooperative/competitive roleplaying systems then you'll love Paranoia.
I built some Paranoia-specific tools to help me to GM Paranoia online, they might be of use to you:
-
A randomizer tool for choosing each Troubleshooter: a job, a mutation and a secret society.
-
A character sheet. -
Mediocre rerelease with poor production values, cheap-looking art, and try-hard prose. Full review:
