I did a forum game (ShadowRun) once.  It fell apart fast as three of the cast decided not to post for two weeks, leaving me and one other (GM not withstanding) attempting to keep it going.

Cue one of the missing to show up and go "What the hell?  Why did X happen?" (all RP based).  Honey, you haven't posted for two weeks, sit down, shut up, and stop bitching.  Some of us were trying to drive the story.

I'm not even sure what half the stuff in my inventory does. I have Visomorpain (Little black friend) and Xanitrick (wakey wakey).

Are you suppose to?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What I can find:
Visomorpain makes you happy and quiet. Users have a perpetually stupid expression on their faces and ask very few questions.

Xanitrick induces a hyper, speedy feeling with accompanying tremors, anxiety, and uncontrollable sneezing, which is followed by total exhaustion when the drug wears off.

Both are found on page 8 of Acute Paranoia

Well nobody checked your corpse when they left, so your inventory got looted by commoners.

Zecro signing up for duty, will take any character (preferably female since smaller body) hopefully with agile skills or mechanical intuition

I'd like to try out Paranoia, if there's room for me in a game.

[A Spoony Bard]

I'm going to try and join the 4:30 PM game on friday that warhammer is running, I've already joined the steam group.
I may be a little bit late, because the bus schedule for me can be quite unpredictable. Do we still need to use the character generator you provided us with, or will it just be made of the spot?

[Alehkhs]

Wheres this happening? I'd be interested but I can run steam.

Sorry, did you say you Can or cannot run steam?

I don't even know how stat gen works, I've never built any of the characters I've played.

It's random generation, lots of dice rolling. We cut corners and just have the Program do it to save time


EDIT: we currently stand at 3 definites and 1 maybe, any other takers?

I'm in for 4:30PM EST Friday. All I know is it's on some Steam group, and I need to create a character and send it to someone(?). Is that sufficient knowledge?

(I don't think it is. Please help.)

[warhammer651]

Steam group: [DFC] Paranoia
Send character sheets to me.

Char genner is HERE

Concerning the CharGen, what should I be entering for

• Clearance?
• Sector?
• Play Style?
• Service Group?

I've only played Paranoia once before, and that was a couple years ago, so I'm essentially new to all this.

EDIT: And are we using the extra/optional mutations?

Clearance is red, and will stay that way probably. Sector can be any assortment of numbers or words, its just to show what sector of the city you came from. Playstyle will usually be classic, and someone else can give the list of Service Groups.

Paraphrased from memory (from the red-clearance section of the Paranoia manual):

When Friend Computer decided to catalog all clones, it decided to use the following format:
Name-Clearance-Sector code-Clone number
Example: U-R-IST-1 (Mine, don't use it in warhammer651's game!)
-Name can be anything sufficiently silly
-Clearance will be R most of the time
-Sector code is any combination of three letters.
Clone number will start at one, and climb as the session goes on...

[Matz05]

("climb" means "indicate replacements as you get killed, probably messily")

[EuchreJack]

Someone should run a forum based game.

It already exists, just not on this forum.

It might take some looking around to understand it, but definitely exists.  And they just started up a new forum game!

[sluissa]

I don't know why you guys won't use JParanoia... steam chat is so awkward and clunky and forums are so slow and even more awkward and clunky.

I'll just wait till someone has an open slot in a game on it.
