Best Paranoia titles (according to RPGGeek)Hi citizens! I'm talking to Mongoose about what titles we might offer in 2023, and I wondered what fans actually want. I asked that question here months ago and got great answers! But yesterday, I went through RPGGeek and researched what that community says about old Paranoia stuff. I thought I'd share because I found it interesting and I'm egotistical enough to think others will too. :)
Top 5 Paranoia Products by Ranking - Acute Paranoia (1E): #633
- Flashbacks (XP): #1163
- HIL Sector Blues (1E): #1318
- Clones in Space (1E): #1550
- The Computer Always Shoots Twice (2E): #1860
Top 5 Paranoia Products by Rating - WMD (XP): 7.67
- Clones in Space (1E): 7.65
- Alpha Complexities (2E): 7.32
- Orcbusters (1E): 7.17
- Crash Priority (XP): 7.11
Key takeaways:
- Nostalgia probably bumps up 1E content on these lists, but they are also there because they're very well designed, written, and illustrated.
- Clones in Space is more popular than I had ever realized.
- Missions are most popular, but a combo of new rules/setting info plus a mission isn't far behind.
- Reprints of old missions are popular, but TBH, I don't want PPE spending the lion's share of its content on reduxes. (We have one old mission redux planned but just that single one.)
One last thing: All RCE titles have
never received a ranking or rating on RPGGeek, which is odd. If anyone wants to fix that, please read this next bit carefully:
We honestly and truly ONLY want 100% honest ratings or what have you--warts and all.
This is NOT a call to action, nor is it a request for friendly reviews! Not at all, not in the slightest, no dog whistling here, etc. Honest reviews are respected, and they can help us Famous Game Designers know how to improve. Again, no one has to do a damned thing here, but if you do, please be truthful and open. Cheers!
