BOLME GREG COSTIKYAN PETER CORLESS JOHN M. Ford What’s in the black box, and why are all the secret societies after it? The award-winning YCBBB stands high on most lists of the best-written roleplaying adventures ever. The YELLOW Clearance Black Box Blues by World Fantasy Award winner John M.
They’re all here: the harrowing mission alerts, the arduous outfitting trips, the thrice-deadly tests of experimental equipment from Research & Design and the brilliantly staged, surpassingly ridiculous, stupendously auto-ramifying deathtrap fiascos that made PARANOIA a huge success. These riotously funny works from PARANOIA’s Golden Age revolutionized the roleplaying field. The PARANOIA XP edition updates Alpha Complex for this new and more paranoid time. Originally published in 1984, PARANOIA sold over 150,000 copies. PARANOIA: a lighthearted game of terror, death, bureaucracies, mad scientists, mutants, dangerous weapons and insane robots, which encourages players to lie, to cheat and to backstab each other at every turn.
You hope The Computer and your fellow Troubleshooters won’t find out you are one of these enemies.
You track and destroy the enemies of The Computer. You play a Troubleshooter, one of The Computer’s elite agents. A well-meaning but deranged Computer desperately protects the citizens of an underground city from secret societies, mutants and all sorts of real and imagined enemies. BONUS!

Still far and away the funniest roleplaying products ever published, these stress-inducing missions will take your players into sections of Alpha Complex, and probably areas of their own lizard hindbrains, they never could have imagined. Smith The Troubleshooters head Outdoors to rescue and/or destroy a treasonous minicomputer and incidentally take their first skydive! Send in the Clones by Allen Varney and Warren Spector Someone is singing treasonous old song hits on the Alpha Complex public address system, so the Troubleshooters must track the Commie traitors through- yes-the sewers. Many longtime fans rate Mark 4 their all-time favorite PARANOIA mission. The best missions ever written for PARANOIA! Me and My Shadow Mark 4 by Steve Gilbert and Peter Corless The Troubleshooters guard a giant cybernetic warbot that definitely doesn’t like being guarded.
