Greetings!

You have been upgraded from Infrared to Red status for reporting your fellow worker
as a traitorous commie mutant.
You have also been selected, by the unbiased and gratuitous Friend Computer
to become one of the highly respected troubleshooters!
You will keep your old job, but
you will now report for missions on your part time
to help rid us of these commie mutant traitors!
Hooray!

WAITLIST AND OOC THREAD IS HERE

Hello, everyone! I'm here to offer up my first RTD - a Paranoia-esque game of intrigue, espionage, and most importantly, !!fun!!

If you haven't ever heard of Paranoia, don't bother looking it up - just know The Computer Is Your Friend (And that's me. I'm your friend.)

I'm taking anywhere from 2 to 6 people for this game, so sign up! I will waitlist, but that will go into a different, OOC thread after the first six have been established as characters.

What you know as clearance level red: I use a D20. You are a commie mutant traitor on the hunt for other commie mutant traitors. This includes the other PC's. There's a 24 hour signup. I'll pick the top six and assign them a Special Duty!

I'll make my rolls once I've selected the six players. Or less.

Spoiler: Perversity Points and Tics (click to show/hide)

You start with 25. They renew every Scene. You can use them to change certain dice rolls. They can be changed for better or for worse.

Tics are things that identify your character. Like glowing hair or a twitch whenever someone mentions rats. Or screaming shrilly at the sight of bubble-cola.

A unique tic gives you 5 more points. A tic similar to another player's is worth only 1. You can only gain points from two tics.

Spoiler: Shop! (click to show/hide)

You have 1,000 credits to spend, and gain 1,000 credits a month - assuming you last that long.
You don't have to spend it all here. Just know that Friend Computer is watching you hoard.
For Red clearance, you have:
Bubble-cola - 1 cr
Bubble-cola+ - 2 cr
Cancer-lite cigarettes - 6 cr
Metal pen - 10 cr
Bullhorn - 50 cr
Cleans-o-spray - 50 cr
plasticord rope - 1 cr/m
Sleep tablet - 1 cr
wakefulness tablet - 20 cr
Happypill - 2 cr

4. Be happy. Or else.

There are funny stories behind almost all of that.


I went off the assumption that we were only allowed to take one + and - per category, if it is otherwise I'd like to know so I can change my sheet a bit.

Also, where on the spectrum is this going to fall as far as tone? I prefer straight, but classic is okay. Zap is... less than enjoyable, IMO. The most fun comes when every problem of the conerifle fire/gas cloud/collapsing building/explosion/etc/ nature, injury, and death derives almost entirely from the stupid things that we do. And please tell me we're going to have secret society missions. I wuv those. :3

Sorry GWG, it's 12 all across the board.

And Dice, that'd be 35 points. Also the +/- commons can be from any category. but a +/- pair have to be from the same category.

This is my first GM through a Paranoia game, we'll see how it goes. I can promise lots of !!fun!!

It's also my first RTD. Or real forum game. Moar !!fun!! ensues!

For tone? I'm going to aim somewhere between Classic and Straight. More straight, but some of the rolls will likely end up classic. 1% chance of zap in all rolls.
