Overall evaluation result: normal
Report to your local supervisor for your next duty!
Your friend, the Computer
"suspiciously long time without traitorous behaviour" 💀💀💀
Don't forget ... your mission as a troubleshooter is to find trouble... and shoot it :) Bootlicking is an actual skill and you might as well start with the sole. This was a great game!
Yeah, as in I never saw a boot I couldn't lick. And remember, vapors don't shoot back.This takes me back to the late 1980's early 1990's. It was a lot of fun.
Maybe consider putting GM tips *after* the player tips; with a warning that players probably shouldn't watch the GM bit. They will, but they'll get treason points for it!
Great summary of Paranoia. Well done.
I ran a game for my friends. They were in combat and one of them rolled the computer. I had them stop in the middle of fighting to fill out a survey on the experimental weapon they were using. Needless to say that was 1 clone down.
The real Paranoia is still the 2nd Edition. The goal of the game is to get the players to turn on each other, the current version downplays mutant powers and secret societies. That is where the fun really began, if you didn't have 3 player deaths before the mission briefing then something isn't right.
How did the 2nd edition actually achieved that? How did it motivate players to turn on each other?
@@beniaminradomir9798 If you had a group that hadn't played before then as GM you actually had a bit more work to do. You'd set secret society missions, eg there is a Death Leopard operative in your group, you must prevent them from succeeding in their mission. Then that player would have to try and work out who it is and stop them.
Also remember, it is a players duty to root out treason and be rewarded by friend computer. Things that may be interpreted as treason: dmamging Alpha Complex property (clones may not be considered property perhaps, but that uniform that has a smoking hole in it certainly is), failing to correctly fill in paper work, access to higher level security clearance objects, mutant powers, membership of secret society and so on. Treason is just an excuse to be pedantic.
Thank you for this! I play D&D, but our DM is also a teacher, so every few month I'd like to lead a one-shot in other games to give her a little break. I've heard about Paranoia from a couple of other channels, but not a lot of other people have done a quick overview like this. Now I have the information to go to my D&D group and gauge their interest in trying this one.
Sobre o problema de não saber exatamente como rodar os combates, eu gosto de usar uma mecânica de um jogo brasileiro chamado Guaxinins e Gambiarras, em que o narrador também não rola dados e o dano é baseado no fato do jogador ter ou não conseguido fazer o que ele queria.
"Quer bater no guarda? Ok. Se você falhar, significa que ele revidou e você sofre o dano que iria causar a ele."
Dessa forma os jogadores se tornam responsáveis por toda a ação. Incluindo os ferimentos que sofrerem.
The GM can think up anything on the spot. So... roll or no roll, the GM puts threats infront of the citizens.
I would have soo much fun as a DM!
Friend Computer is definitely a mashup of Clippy, Claptrap and GLaDOS in my mind :D
I’ve always wanted to play! I should spring this on my current group…
I played Paranoia once back in about 2002 and kind of enjoyed it, but found the clones getting randomly killed a little jarring to my play style. I'd play it again now I understand the game a little more.
But... Understanding the rules is treason!!!
The statement made “if you play 3 sessions, that’s two clones you have to kill each session” is a bit weird. I’ve played and run Paranoia for a long time and I’ve never really played in a way that I’m TRYING to kill clones. I just don’t put the same “safety nets” that other games have. If clones die, they die. Usually though the players end up killing each other!
Thanks. This was a great distillation.
So.. XP is basically a CCP-style Social Credit Score.
Definitely some dark dystopian comedy potential with that alone.
Knowing this information is treasonous
"Give really weak characters REALLY powerful weapons... watch what happens!"
It's a good thing you remembered to discuss the treason stars. It's evidence we're going to use to brand you a traitor.
hey! this was a very informative video, thank you very much! my (now) virtual dnd group paused our 2 year campaign to do a round robin of everyone gm-ing a new system and im gearing up to run a short jaunt through paranoia! i see this video is a bit over a year old, have you since found a way to implement the action cards in virtual play? they seem terribly fun and i would hate to exclude them from the game
198 sub and 247 like
This was really helpful! Thank you :)
Hey I gotta say, thanks for this breakdown of the game and mechanics! It's a neat system.
But please, SAY YOUR TITLE CARDS OUT LOUD! People listen to videos like this, not watch them imo. So that will help us follow what's going on
If someone manages to get a min-maxed character, next time they die, have the cloning machine accidentally grab the wrong person.
Last you remember you were happily watching the holovids when the cloning machine claws grabbed you. Now Friend Computer is telling you: "Welcome back, Shoot-R-TRB-3!"
"There must be some mistake, I'm not a troubleshooter! My name is Neighb-R-TRB-1!" the strange fellow shouts, but the Computer is already gone.
...and then poor Neighb-R-TRB-1 is accused of being a shapeshifting mutant commie traitor and hilarity ensues. =)
Red Clearance edition sounds lame 😒. What was wrong with the better previous edition?
I wish I had found this before starting to play...
But now you've seen it and can make the game even better next time 😁
