[QUOTE="ashockney, post: 624284, member: 1363"] Wow! What a great day we had! Thanks to everyone for making it so excellent. In Paranoia, it was my pleasure to play Can-O-Bul, the troubleshooting team leader (with a mutant ability to eat ANYTHING, although I restrained myself on the lunchpail...). I have only played Paranoia once before, but I knew we were in for a good time when Fett527 read from the combat rules, "Your ability and skills mean nothing...you tell the GM what you hope to accomplish, and the more entertaining it is, the more likely your GM will allow it to be successful." I can definitely work with that! The hysterics ensued. I particularly enjoyed the "unexpected gunbattle" while in R&D. Can there be such a thing as an "unexpected gunbattle" in a game called "Paranoia"?!?!? P-Kitty should know we were wearing our gas masks, of course! :rolleyes: I ran the Return to the Hall of the Fire Giant King, based largely on Gary Gygax's fantastic third in the series of Against the Giants Modules. For those unfamiliar, it is a dungeon crawl in the highest sense, particularly in a time crunch like this one-shot. The players did an excellent job, and used very sound tactics throughout, which helped them to keep their heads. In all, 17 Fire Giants, King Snurre, Queen Fruppy, and her pet 12-headed Lernean Pyrohydra Stubby were all dispatched without hesitation or remorse.

I was really surprised at how many people in my event commented that this was the first time they had ever played this a high a level in third edition...ever! Wow! That would be a great poll, for anyone who knows how to build one. "What's the highest level you've played in 3rd Edition?" Krispy Kreme, Chipotle, and Adriatico's Pizza were all excellent! Thanks to Mr. Fidgit and Fett527 for the hookup! I got some good digital pictures which I'll email to Crothian today from the event so everyone else can see this madcap crew. I'm looking forward to doing it again sometime! Good Gaming! [/QUOTE]
