What Makes Paranoia Special?

Darkly Comedic Satire: Brilliant parody of totalitarian dystopias, corporate bureaucracy, and Cold War paranoia wrapped in absurdist humor and social commentary.

Backstabbing Gameplay: Every player is secretly a traitor with hidden agendas—trust no one, betray everyone, blame your teammates for your failures.

Six-Pack of Clones: Death is inevitable and hilarious—each player has six clone backups, making character death a feature rather than a setback.

The Computer Is Your Friend: Serve the all-knowing, all-seeing, completely paranoid AI that rules Alpha Complex with contradictory orders and instant termination.

Secret Societies: Every Troubleshooter belongs to a treasonous secret society with conflicting goals—Communists, Capitalists, Death Leopards, and more.

Experimental Equipment: R&D provides "perfectly safe" experimental weapons and gear that usually malfunction spectacularly, often terminating the user.

Clearance Levels: Navigate Alpha Complex's color-coded security clearance system where knowing classified information is treason punishable by death.

Unique Tone: Unlike any other RPG—combines dark humor, player-versus-player conflict, and satirical storytelling for unforgettable sessions.

Quick Character Creation: Roll new clones in minutes when (not if) your current one gets vaporized, keeping the game moving at breakneck pace.
