I'd be up for paranoia on a IRC/Jparanoia system?

My god this sounds glorious, I'd definitely join a game if you can put up with me not knowing the rules ;)

(by which I mean putting up with executing me repeatedly as far as I can tell from this thread)

A few friends and I want to play this soon, but none of us have played it... and me, being the 'most hardcore gamer' of the group, I'm expected to GM.

I'd love to play the game a couple times before I even try to GM it... haha.

My group was once given robot dogs that were there to make us happy and play with us.  I blew mine up (mutant power) which also took out another dog.

Everyone else got cancer from the radiation leaking from the dogs' internal nuclear power source.

Hmm given the setting getting cancer is probably the most harmless aftermath of nuclear leakage I've seen.

Usually it would cause you to be transform into a pile of goop.

Honestly I don't recall what the radiation did.  Just that it wasn't immediately apparent and went unsaid until debriefing.  It might've been more mutant powers, or something.

The groups grown large, we really need more GMs so we can have more then the weekly event with Int, especially since there might be too many people trying to get into that.

Does anybody know of any 'tutorials' for running a game? I'd love to watch an entire game (some of the more common games like D&D have them on Youtube) or at least read one, with some explanations.

Curses. I've been thinking about doing this, despite no experience whatsoever with pen&paper RPGs, but I've got a lab from 6-7:50pm tuesdays.  ::)

This sounds like a lot of fun, didn't really read the thread very well but I'd definately be up for playing Paranoia or running a game (provided there is no issues with me having not GM'd Paranoia before)

Of course, I have to double check that I don't wind up cutting off my weekend pathfinder game, that would be embarressing strange to get both games muddled together.

That's treasonous talk.  Report to the nearest execution chamber for summary execution.

I was a GM for one paranoia game, but im certainly not that good. If you want to play the game with a disorganized GM, then by all means i'll do it.

I've heard of this before and it sound fun. Is there some way to play over the internet, or is it strictly IRL?
