"Paranoia" RPG from WEG

Post by MKSheppard »

In the Paranoia game that my brother is playing with
some Something Awful'ers, a guy in my brother's party said
"comrade", so my brother and everyone else beat the shit out
of him and killed him for being a Commie Traitor :twisted:

That's why I prefer games that use more than 1 type of dice. D6 or D20, it's all the same to me: junk.

Give me a game that uses D20, D6, D8, D10, D12, and even D4... :D

So you are not happy with friend Computer's decisions, citizien?


Of course, Paranoia uses the D20 but not the rules of the D20 system, and it is quite prone to beiung run with D6 / D8 /D256 / Dpi / D1, since all a master needs is sadism...

What is your security clearance, citizien?

Wrong D20, treasonous scum. Report to Termination Chamber for your punishment for dissing the best RPG ever written.

Paranoia is the most fun to watch of any tabletop, I'll say that much. A small group of us MST3k'd a session one time in college.

"Any moment now, sawblades, right out of the wall.."(What do you know, they did).

"Communists? No communists here. Try the Central Computer Core, comrade. Er, I mean, old buddy friend man."(When they actually found teh Communists, who all spoke of Tovodarch Computer)

I told you, Spanks; crap like classes, levels, exp, hit points, armor 'class', and a rigid skill/action system fries their brains and forces them to think in unrealsitic terms to fit with their unrealistic, overly-complext-but-overly-limited rule systems and engine. :wink:
