Welcome to Alpha Complex, where the Computer is your friend, life is great, and there's definitely no mutants, traitors, and secret societies out to get you. Paranoia is a TTRPG of catch-22s, unfair rules, the rest of the players are out to get you, and fun is mandatory. This new edition might be new and shiny, but does it give justice to the classic sci-fi dystopia RPG?
You can find Paranoia on the Mongoose website: mongoosepublishing.com/collections/the-all-new-shiny-edition
But the PDFs on DriveThru RPG: drivethrurpg.com//product/453042/the-paranoia-core-book?affiliate_id=1017650

*CHECK OUT MY NOVELS*
If you want to support my channel, or just want to read an action-packed Urban Fantasy about modern-day monster hunters and their sentient weapons, check out my four-novel Valducan series. They feature gun fights, sword fights, car chases, monsters, and a smattering of horror (except Book 2, which is mostly horror). Audio book editions narrated by the badass R.C. Bray: amzn.to/3rehNnJ
I also write pulpy Sword & Sorcery thief adventures in my Tales of the Black Raven series. It's 21 short stories packed with action, intrigue, and daring heroics. Audio editions read by R.C. Bray. amzn.to/3faj4cX
And if you want a kickass and dark revenge story about a modern-day sorceress hunting across the multiverse for lost Carcosa, my novel Ashes of Onyx is available in print, ebook, and audio book: amzn.to/3sfh1IA
If you enjoyed my stories, please leave a rating or review on Amazon, Audible, and/or Goodreads
