Paranoia: Core Starter Set (MGP50000)
Welcome to Alpha Complex! Welcome to the ranks of the Troubleshooters! Welcome to Paranoia! 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.
Features
- Interactive Character Creation - where you carefully build out your character's strengths while your erstwhile Troubleshooter allies build out your weaknesses!
- Combat Initiative based on real-world chutzpah - bluff and lie your way to the top of the turn order!
- Action Cards that supplement combat - Many cards add dice to your rolls and/or take away dice from commie mutant traitors. What the cards really do is stimulate less-experienced players into thinking of ways of screwing with opponents/team members that usually only comes with Alpha Complex experience.
- The Computer Dice - Trust the Computer, the Computer is your friend. And with the Computer die, Friend Computer is now helpful more often than ever! Field surgery is a stressful task ... who wouldn't want their best friend to provide them with a holographic cartoon immediately over the patient's wounds? Only a traitor, that's who.
- Compact Size - Comes in a box half the size of traditional RPG handbooks, which makes it a lot more friendly to stick in a bag. When you need Paranoia, it's always there for you.
