Mongoose announces Paranoia: The Perfect Edition for 2022Per Mongoose's usual State of the Company post they made earlier today.
Paranoia: The Perfect EditionThe current Red Clearance edition of Paranoia is perfect. We all know this. The Computer says so, and we all agree on a mandatory level.
Therefore, loyal citizens will be excited to learn that a brand new Paranoia is on the way in 2022 – Paranoia: The Perfect Edition. Why publish the Perfect Edition? Oh, many reasons…
- The second edition of Paranoia arrived three years after the first edition. The Perfect Edition will come five years after the Red Clearance edition, which means we are two years late. Wait, is that how to calendar?
- There was not enough lore and setting details in the Red Clearance edition (Paranoia XP ruined it for everyone!), so we are adding information on service groups, propaganda, celebrities, and more.
- Famous Game Designer WJ MacGuffin wants a new mudroom so he blackmailed us into green-lighting this project.
- We’re lonely and want people to give us attention.
Quick initiative. Revised Moxie. Calling in favours. Compatibility with Red Clearance edition expansions. And all the fatalities and swaths of destruction you’ve come to expect from Paranoia.
I can't share too many details because things are still being designed and playtested, and whatever I share could turn out to be a lie later on. :) But the
Paranoia: Perfect Edition is not really a new edition; it's more an refinement of RCE instead of anything truly new. For example, all four Stats and their related Skills are all the same, and the core mechanic (Stat+Skill+Computer Dice) is still there. At least the way the Perfect rules are right now, I could run Censored For Your Protection in RCE or PPE without much work.
Y'all are welcome to ask any questions, DM me here, or even email me at ppemacguffin at gmail if you prefer. I might not be able to share an answer, of course! But if you have any concerns, worries, etc. about where the game is going, please let me know so I can try to help somewhat. This game is close to my heart, and I promise to do this game right.
