Who owns Paranoia? Mini-game would be cool...

[taliesin52]

I'd probably play a play-by-post game of paranoia. Never actually played although I've run it a dozen or two times at conventions and colleges. Doesn't make for a very fun long term campaign, but for short term or one-off's its great. So much pop culture references you can throw in such as a talk show about People with Mutant Powers who Want to Reveal it to their Friends hosted by Rick-y-LAK-2....


I do think that d20 would be horrible for it though. d20's a very hard and fast ruleset compared to most. Paranoia's a bit more ambiguous. Besides the point of the rules is that the players aren't ALLOWED to know the rules. Everything except for character generation and a little fluff text is all in their equivalent of a DMG.

So how would you suggest doing char gen? I see that most people use a points system, which doesn't exactly work for Paranoia. I've begun setting up at Playbyweb.com, and getting the feel of the place.

Anyway, so who's in for this? Anyone interested, please shoot me an email at rushl @ comcast.net with the subject "Paranoia" (to get around my spam filters!) and we can start getting things together!
