Content Warnings/Trigger Warnings: Death, Violence, Alpha Complex
Spoilers for '[Your Security Clearance Is Not High Enough For The Title Of This Adventure]' mission!
Show Notes
This week, Fiona is joined by Tim, Alastair, Ben, Josh and Kylie from Dunking on the DM for ‘Paranoia’, a dystopian science-fiction tabletop role-playing game, published by Mongoose Publishing.
First published in 1984, ‘Paranoia’ is set in the dystopian future city of Alpha Complex controlled by Friend Computer and where information (including the game rules) are restricted by color-coded "security clearance". Player characters are clone enforcers of the Computer's authority (known as Troubleshooters) and will be given missions to seek out and eliminate threats to the Computer's control. However, things aren’t what they seem in Alpha Complex, and … well clones are replaceable!
This oneshot uses the 'Paranoia: Red Clearance Edition' ruleset. Information about 'Paranoia: The Perfect Edition' can be found here.
You can find out more information about ‘Paranoia’ and get the current edition on the Mongoose Publishing website.
This episode’s guests are from the Dunking on the DM, where comedy and storytelling collide in one actual-play tabletop roleplay podcast.
