What do you mean, you can't find them? How could you lose track of Weapons of Mass Destruction strong enough to blow apart The Computer and Alpha Complex, not to mention Earth's outer crust? Well, did you check the closets? Huh? That little paperweight? Ridiculous. Here, watch me. [Thwack! Thwack!] See? Trust me, Troubleshooter, when you've been a team leader as long as I have, you can spot threats, and a beeping ball labeled ‘ANTIMATTER' can't possibly be aâ€â€ÂÂ

Four fear-inducing Straight missions by the TRAITOR RECYCLING STUDIO Illustrated by JIM HOLLOWAY PARANOIA Gamemaster, now you can put your players through entirely new wringers. Evoke amazing, unprecedented kinds of Fear and Ignorance. The four all-new missions in WMD use the Straight play style introduced in the PARANOIA rulebook. That means dark satire, paranoid anxiety and even a halfway decent chance to (gasp!) survive the mission! â€â€ÂÂAssuming, of course, your Troubleshooters can overcome threats like these: N a Wireless Memory Downgrade that devastated an entire sector (‘Infohazard' by Bill O'Dea) N a Wholesome Meal Distributor with a dangerous new food preparation scheme (‘Hunger' by Dan Curtis Johnson) N a Lobot WMD-1 (‘WMD' by Beth Fischi and Allen Varney) N ...and an actual, no-kidding, egregiously powerful Weapon of Mass Destruction (‘Hot Potato' by Jeff Groves) For Troubleshooters expecting the charming and high-spirited fiascos that made PARANOIA famous, the tense, suspicion-fraught, nerve-wracking missions in WMD offer a bracing brainscrub. You need the PARANOIA roleplaying game to use this book.

N Four complete missions! 80 pages! N New, original varieties of paranoid suspenseâ€â€ÂÂyou've never seen these before in PARANOIA, let alone in other (non-fun) roleplaying games N Total absence of appalling amateur-hour game fiction N Sufficient antimatter to remove one twenty-seventh of Earth's crust

A world fit for Kafka, Orwell and the Marx Brothers PARANOIA is a satirical roleplaying game set in a darkly humorous future. 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. You play a Troubleshooter, one of The Computer's elite agents. You track and destroy the enemies of The Computer. You hope The Computer and your fellow Troubleshooters won't find out you are one of these enemies. PARANOIA: a blackly fun 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. Originally published in 1984, PARANOIA sold over 150,000 copies. The 2004 PARANOIA edition updates Alpha Complex for this new and more paranoid time.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
