Paranoia Perfect Edition: Core Book (2024)

Paranoia Perfect Edition is the core rulebook for the latest edition of the Origins Hall of Fame RPG Paranoia. It includes everything you need to play, except for players because the stupid EU somehow thinks shipping shrink-wrapped gamers is somehow a problem.

• An introduction mostly designed to increase designers’ word counts for more pay.
• Rules designed to create fear, ignorance and paranoia in players (not just characters) like a good horror movie does. Only with 200% more laughter.
• The core mechanic uses a simple D6 dice pool: get 5s or 6s, count successes, realise that’s not enough, bribe an NPC and declare premature victory.
• Call in favours from treasonous friends, press people’s buttons and make other players fail so you look like a champ. Yes, just like real life but in science fiction so it’s more entertaining.
• Discover the celebrities, recreation, and propagandatainment of Alpha Complex, and how a thank-you based social credit system (literally borrowed from modern China) works. Mostly.
• An original mission titled ‘Arbitrary Justice’ where the PCs have to sentence criminals without knowing what they did. Criminals facing a death sentence will be completely honest, right? This comes with notes to the GM for learning the rules while running the game.
