Guess who's just got a copy of Paranoia XP...

Paranoia is a really quite ancient tabletop RPG, recently revamped. Only it's an RPG with a difference. Stuff the fantasy, it's sci-fi slapstick satire, with mutant commie traitors and insane AI governing post-holocaust hive cities. The rulebook is a true work of comedy genius ("Attention burning citizen: Please observe the 'no smoking' sign; "'Acceptable Behaviour?' Who authorized that?") and the game features an unusual twist in that it is actually treason for anyone bar the GM to know the rules.

Paranoia is fun. Other games are not fun. Buy Paranoia.

sounds good I always wanted to play the table top pencil and paper version but never got around to it.

This was my favourite RPG when I was a wee nipper! I can't believe they've re-released it! Remember Teena-O-MLY?

I just rolled this D20 and consulted the chat. With my +10 coolness modifer and a result of 20 it means I am not only Dungeon Master but also a demi God!

I never played this much myself, but my brother used to run games. I should get him the new edition for Xmas.

[Wabbit]

I cast "Stop thread descending into ream of tired RPG-ing jokes"

Ah. It would seem that I failed.

 

[Wabbit]

Sorry, you failed your role

 

[Ice]

*Coughs* Sad

 

[Wabbit]

You'er just jealous because you failed your saving roll

 

[Ice]

Pah - Jealous? I? Rubbish

 

[bobbyburns]

themistocles, you are trapped inside yourself.

 

[Themistocles]

Safest place to be, in my humble opinion.

 

[bobbyburns]

well, that's your story. are you sticking to it?

 

[Themistocles]

Not to suggest that Alpha Complex is unsafe, quite the contrary, it is in fact a utopia, but yes, I'm sticking to it.
