**Paranoia is a lot different than other RPGs - put aside your usual expectations of cooperation and fairness and logic for this one! You will die in stupid ways, you will kill your friends in stupid ways, there will likely be at least one TPK and it will all be a great time. As i will say many times, you have six clones for a reason! Losing one of em is not only expected, it can be fun.**
2 seats in every guild one-shot are reserved for the monthly supporter lottery. You may see players in a game's attendee list before guild-wide RSVPs open.

ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Greeting Troubleshooters! Friend Computer has entrusted you with a very important task: to transport a package to esteemed citizen Maddison-U-LOK-3 in Sector WDW in acknowledgement of the anniversary of her decanting daycycle. Or in simpler terms, you have a birthday gift to deliver!
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
You are a Troubleshooter! Congratulations!
As a Troubleshooter, you are a member of Alpha Complex’s most expendable elite force. Tasked with finding trouble and shooting it, you will be hunting mutants, traitors, secret societies, Communists, renegade bots, and [CLASSIFIED]. Unfortunately, you also are mutants, traitors, secret society members, and possibly Communists!
Stay alert! Trust no one! Keep your laser handy!
Paranoia is a long running RPG series set in Alpha Complex, an idyllic facility run by the benevolent Friend Computer. At least, that was the intention. In reality, Alpha Complex is a bureaucratic nightmare run by a mad AI controlled by petty High Programmers, and you are the poor saps who get stuck doing the dirty work. Backstab your friends for fun and profit and cover your own back, because they'll be doing the same thing! You have six clones for a reason.
