Paranoia sounds interesting. Trying to get into the Star Wars: Saga Edition D20 game right now. Only other PnP I've ever done was Fiasco!, which was rules-light and very fun.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

Speaking about other Pen & Paper RPGs, I was once running a Star Wars Roleplaying game (West End Games version, not the Star Wars is DnD In Space version that Wizards released).

Late into the final session of the multi-part campaign, the team needed to roll a certain number with their missile launcher in order to complete the mission.  They rolled once, twice, three times, no luck.  Their missile launcher only had one shot left.

They roll, and the total is just short.

I casually walk over to the player who rolled the dice and changed one of the dice from a low number to a high number.  We all celebrated the victory over the Imperials, and ended the campaign.

Would you recommend the D6 system for people who have a shorter attention span?

Totally, I didn't read the manual and it is pretty simple to play. Its possibly the most entertaining short pen and paper game i've played in awhile.

Not having read the manual is probably an advantage. Your character can be executed if you display any knowledge whatsoever of the rules outside character creation.

Good thing I read this thread to learn about color clearances before hand, because inside my medkit there were three different colors of pills. I went "Hah, nice try GM!" and picked the Red one. Of course it gave the guy we needed to capture a surge of energy and he tried to escape, but everything ended up fine.
