Hey I have recently heard about paranoia RPG, but I am lost where to start, I have looked around.
Apparently the current edition has three different branches, not sure where to start with that.

Can I get some advise about running an tabletop game of this or other systems like It that may be interesting>

That information is above your clearance level.

[lordcooper]

We knew you'd be asking about this.

[PsyberianHusky]

Have I mentioned the references have made this game difficult to research?

As we intended.

[PsyberianHusky]

What is the mandatory version to start with?

[Hugehead]

You must prove you are ready for that knowledge by reading the mandatory starting book.

[PsyberianHusky]

So troubleshooters or XP, or should I go for the 09 version?

Paranoia: Troubleshooters is infrared clearance.  Possession is not prohibited, and is therefore mandatory.

You are also cleared for Paranoia: Second Edition.  Unfortunately, your local store room is probably out of Second Edition.  Please take this Requisition for Requisition Forms to requisition a form to requisition the appropriate form.

There is no Paranoia: Fifth Edition.

How can you have spoilers about an unproduct?

Anyways, get Paranoia XP.  It's basically the same as Troubleshooters but has a few things to its advantage.  Intsec is basically more of the same but a different focus, and High Programmers, likewise, is basically Epic Level Paranoia- I'd compare it as the Rogue Trader of Paranoia.  It basically wouldn't be fun to run, nor would it make sense, if you don't have experience as a troubleshooter.

Silly people and their nonsense talk...

[Sowelu]

Soooo, once you do get ahold of the books and run a game...  Don't feel compelled to run everybody out of clones by the end of the mission.

In my last game, I found that the most fun part (for myself and everyone else :3) was the debriefing.  Wild accusations and uncomfortable questions all around!

Being accused of treason with good evidence is a lot worse than merely being shot.
