[Paranoia] Does anyone know this game?

[Ashe]

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 had the druggist, the tech guy and other such classes. I don't remember the name, and I know the way I am describing it, it must sound lame, but at the time it sounded funny. I would like to see if I can find some material on it.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like Paranoia, which is funny.

 

[Tsyr]

Yeah, that's Paranoia.

 

[MEG Hal]

Yeah, that's Paranoia.

Agreed, good game, wish I still had a copy.

Semi-likewise... I sold my original copy (By original I mean the first I bought, not first edition) a couple years ago... I found a mint-condition 2nd Edition box set a few weeks ago for $8 at my FLGS, in their used section, so I grabbed it, but...

The computer is your friend...

Are you happy in your secret organization?

 

[Sejs]

Yep, Paranoia!


You play the part of a Troubleshooter. It is your job to find trouble, and shoot it. 'Trouble' as it's defined in this case, comes in the form of Commie Mutant Traitors. A Commie Mutant Traitor is someone who is

A) a member of a secret society
B) possesses a mutant power, and
C) is therefor a traitor.

There's a problem, however. You are a member of a secret society. You have a mutant power. You are a traitor.


Gotta love that game.
