I think this game mechanic is only "broken" in broken campaigns. So your arguement that the game has broken components is completely false. So I would challenge that it is not the game that needs fixing but rather how you are playing in it. The guantlet has been dropped! But I'll put in a...

Aren't we forgetting one of the worst of all? Snails!? But I can completely understand why this hasn't come up, I think most of us are still trying to kill enough braincells in the hopes of forgetting every second of that film. I digress I'll admit I have had my share of bad names. My first...

Fist off, I never said that the character in question had 365 or 3000 bad days in a row, and who said the evil character was constantly helping people. All I was trying to illustrate is that there are shades of grey. No one, I can think of, short of some ficticious characters, ever stick to...

Don't shoot the messenger, :) , it wasn't my idea. And trust me I feel your pain when it comes to people mishandling firearms. It drives me nuts whenever you see someone pick up a firearm the the first thing they do is put their finger on the trigger, and don't check to see if it is loaded. I...

Sorry I wasn't more clear, yes we knew beforehand. Like I said, ridiculous. It was fun for awhile though, I was a two handed Ash with a lot of boomstick ammo. :D

That would be awesome. And you could have eras of play as well. *Part of the initial crew to start the process with lots of martians to contend with. *Early colonies, still martians to deal with, but now a wild west sort of scenario as well. *Post colonization and now you have the setting...

I agree, scrap it! Here is my 2 cents on the topic: *Even good people can have an occasional evil act, we all have bad days. *Even an evil person can help someone, he doesn't have to be evil all the time. *If your class dictates a certain code of behavior, then by all means, ROLE-PLAY...

Well it got silly too in that it showed how some people think big, but really forget the details. Like bringing old army C rations. Good idea right? Only if you remember a can opener to make it easier to open. Or how about a lighter, but forget to check if it has fluid. I'm a Macgyver buff...

We were in a play yourself campaign only it was really cool. When we were "sucked in" on our way to the realm our bodies were transformed, knowledge, and training was given. So that way we had the stats of our characters we rolled up, and our ages were certainly older than what we actually...

In my former campaign we used to do this quite a bit, and we would get notes from the DM as well. I really enjoyed it because it was easier for the others to rollplay. If the DM blurted out, "You (player 1) notice there is a path just out of sight." And then usually what will happen Player 2...

I can survive a fall from that height!

I think you are ok to treat your books however you want. Personally I think everyone who keeps their books in a vaccuum chamber when not in use, only touch the pages after thorough disinfection, avoid direct sunlight on their "precious", and faint at the sight of a bent page to earmark it, are...

Or you could take the approach of not telling the player what the DC actually is. Have them make their save and if they don't make, simply say, "You failed (and add any flare beyond that)". That is what I would do anyway. But I completely agree you are not being unreasonable, it is your game...

I see your point, but this could start a totally off topic discussion on what hitpoints actually represent. My statement is coming from the POV that as you progress in levels you aren't actually able to take more damage. You are just more adept and getting out of the way and lessening the...

Thank you to all who have contributed information concerning paranoia. All hail friend computer.

I guess the part about disentagrate that bugs me the most is that you are vaporizing matter! I could see that if the object you are vaporizing is larger then the volume of matter you could vaporize, then yes, massive damage would be appropriate, but anything smaller, sorry, too bad, so sad, you...

I found this great link to all different versions of the game. Paranoia

This is strictly for exploratory purposes to see what groups are out there and what they are playing. I am interested in gaming in a wide variety of campaigns. Please let me know, days, times, and system in which you play. Thanks

Perfect!! Thanks for telling me the name of the game, I'm looking forward to start my search for the game now. Thanks for your input, and I'm glad to hear that it has positive reviews, well for a silly game that is.

A few years back a buddy of mine at college was telling me about a RPG that he used to play in. The concept was that everyone was a communist and answered to the communist computer. The catch was that you really weren't a communist, but couldn't talk about it for fear of death. And the party...
