Paranoia RPG Returns in New Edition

Posted by michael on from the i-speak-without-fear-of-contradiction dept.

Allen Varney writes "The classic tabletop roleplaying game PARANOIA, originally published by West End Games in the 1980s, returns in a new edition this August from Mongoose Publishing. PARANOIA, the game of a darkly humorous future, is set in an underground Alpha Complex ruled by an insane Computer. I am writing and (re)designing the main rulebook, under direction from original PARANOIA co-designer Greg Costikyan, with contributions from novelist and game designer Aaron Allston. I'd be happy to answer questions from Slashdot's gamers."

    Can you imagine a D20 paranoia?

    My bowels just tied themselves in knots thinking of it...

    On the other hand, FUDGE Paranoia would be awesome! It's hard to think of a better match between a rules system and a milieu.
