Paranoia: Five Clones From Alpha Complex

• • Uncooperative Mechanics: You are tasked with completing missions, but “informing” on your friends is heavily incentivized. Backstabbing, stealing equipment, and shooting teammates in the back is standard procedure.
  • Play Modes: Offers procedural rules for solo campaigns, co-op, full groups, and traditional Game Master (GM)-led sessions.
  • The Clone System: Since characters lack a traditional health system and most damage is fatal, you rarely survive a mission. When a clone dies, you respawn a fresh clone to continue the chaos.

• • Streamlined Rules: Created by the designers of Five Parsecs From Home, focusing on fast-paced action, absurd hazards, and humor rather than complex crunch.
  • Mission Generator: Includes 20 scenarios, 7 objective types, and deep Secret Society/Security Clearance rules.
  • Chaos Elements: Players have access to 50 illegal mutant powers and 20 starting equipment items (like the “Guardbot disguise”).
  • Enemies: You fight hostile Bots, alien creatures, IntSec Troopers, security cameras, malfunctioning vending machines, and—most dangerously—each other.

Procedural solo, co-op and group play rules and gamemastered options throughout.
