[River]

Anyone know when we're going to see d20 Paranoia product? Or at least a reprinting of Paranoia 5th edition?

As Mongoose Matt has already stated, the answer to both questions is likely 'never'.

But there is a report of an August 2004 release date for "New! Improved! Paranoia" here.

Thats a pity, I guess its back to hunting down a second hand copy.

Look for 2nd edition. It's much, much better than 5th edition.

In theory, d20 Paranoia would be simple to do in terms of mechanics... especially with UA providing rules for using states instead of hit points. The tricky bit would be with the licensing from Greg Costikyan and getting the tone/humor correct.

I have a friend who is obsessed with that game, but doesn't have it. Anyone willing to donate/share?

I've always had a hankering to run a "serious" Paranoia game. No clones, basically a bunch of surviving people in a computer-controlled base where the computer is genuinely insane, has large-caliber weapons, and survival from day-to-day is at the whim of the computer.

Kinda like Harlan Ellison's "I have no mouth, and I must scream" but without the purposeful hate, rather just random actions that mess people's minds up.

An updated version of this game would be a blast to work on for me as a designer or AD. I still have my old version.

Well, I hope it happens, it was a fun game.

Hmmm, if it was to be truly Paranoia (rather than something with that name), lasers would have to give a lot of damage...

R&D might be fun, though -- all those wacky gnome inventions work after all!
