Paranoia: New Edition - The Accomplice Book

by WJ MacGuffin, Keith Garrett, Greg Ingbar

Of course, the main Paranoia rulebook is perfect. Maybe even the perfectest. But you know what would make that even more perfecter? A companion book! But since this is Paranoia, it is called the Paranoia Accomplice Book. This is the Accomplice Book. Inside, you will find a bunch of rules and content for your next Paranoia mission so your players are confused, a bit worried, and having a blast. Have you got older editions of paranoia? Here you will find instructions for using old rules with the new edition. If you like commendation points, registered mutants, and older secret societies, they are back! That old mission you kept all these years can still be run! Want to create your own missions but are unsure what to do exactly. Welcome the return of the Mission a system that picks out villains, allies, and situations typical of Paranoia. Want to drop alpha complex celebrities into your missions? Now you have stats for Teela-O-MLY, Captain Alpha, Funbot, and an entire cast more of characters. Want a more custom experience? You get a number of optional rules to customise the non-competitive character creation (ha!), spending Moxie anonymously, and for those who love their combat a bit crunchy, hit points and stat-based initiative. How about some brand-new stuff? More Alpha Complex celebrities, Top 5 lists, gear, prescription meds1, advancing in your secret society, linking promotions to XP Points, and slang Troubleshooters use to communicate without getting arrested by IntSec. There is even a Paranoia glossary defining terms like Code 7, funball, public hating squares, and why we call ourselves Famous Game Designers. ( We are sarcastic.)

I accidentally dropped this at a book store, which damaged it. I felt like I couldn't in good faith reshelve a damaged book, so I bought it. I took it home and read it in one sitting. It was, at the very least, a book that got out of the way and let me read it. It's pretty small and I read it quite quickly.

Paranoia is a setting with lots of interesting ideas, but it's so mean-spirited that I can't imagine really enjoying it.

One of the best companion books an RPG has ever had - a grab-bag of useful extras with exceptional attention given to organisation and layout making it truly useful in a way products of this nature often aren't. Full review: https://refereeingandreflection.wordp...
