Soviet propaganda gallery / Flashbacks 2 

Comrades! Now to be marwelling at werrry comprehensive set of galleries of Soviet propaganda posters, suitable for to be adapting to Alpha Complex and glorious vorkers' struggle against oppressive capitalist pig-dog Computer, ptui!

Sorry -- I've been babushka-deep in Commie-speak, because I just finished laying out the updated reprint of Edward S. Bolme's high-camp 1989 West End Games PARANOIA mission The People's Glorious Revolutionary Adventure -- the one where the players are all Commie "Smershoviks" in "Alpha State." PGRA is the last of three missions in the 96-page reprint collection PARANOIA Flashbacks 2, to be published next spring. The collection also includes updated versions of Ken Rolston's Orcbusters and Erick Wujcik's Clones in Space, both from 1986. (These were originally announced under the now-obsolete title Collapsatron.) All three missions feature brand-new art by The One True PARANOIA Artist, Jim Holloway.

Flashbacks 2 just about completes the restoration to print of the worthwhile material from PARANOIA's original 1980s run at West End Games. There's still a few good bits in the DOA Sector Travelog; a pleasant little Steve Gilbert mini-mission from the first Forms Book; and Greg Costikyan's rules for playing bot PCs in Acute PARANOIA (not the later version in The Bot Abuser's Manual) -- but there are currently no plans to reprint these modest remnants. Onward with glorious new material, comra-- er, citizens!

Comments:
is it hard- or paperback?
