[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 9155315, member: 27252"] Good review, with just one caveat - It was the Red Clearance Edition that emphasised Terrorists over Communists as well. The XP Edition had considered dropping Communists too, but opted to keep them because it was funnier. While the introduction of cards in the previous edition provided a nice prop, it also tended to put too much emphasis on the mechanics at the table, rather than the comedy of the situation. Moreover, it gave the impression of the game being a bit gimmicky or even a ‘party game’ rather than a more sustainable hobby game for some. This edition creates a rebalance and also, thankfully, provides conversion notes for all previous editions (in the Accomplice book) too. In all, it is beautifully presented set of books, with a Mission book also due very soon, and for me everything is a very welcome return - probably my most satisfying purchase of the year. Along with Traveller and Cyberpunk, Paranoia is one of the three core sci-fi RPG experiences for me. [/QUOTE]
