My First Treason 

In my "2006 in review" post on December 31, I mentioned three upcoming 32-page Classic missions by Gareth Hanrahan, designer of The Traitor's Manual: The Sweep of Unhistory (due in March 2007), Spin Control (not yet scheduled), and one that I said hadn't yet been announced. Now the anonymous third mission has quietly crept onto the Mongoose Publishing PARANOIA page.

Announced for April 2007, Gareth's My First Treason casts your players as young Junior Citizens in a Computer-supervised creche. This is your chance to revel in the privileged status children enjoy in Alpha Complex. Though technically INFRARED Clearance, kids enjoy Computer protection that would make even a High Programmer hesitate before suggesting their termination. And for health reasons, kids are kept on very light pharmatherapy, meaning they can think clearly about many important subjects -- like how to get out of the damn creche and raise havoc among the High Programmers.

(Longtime fans may recall West End Games published an all-kids PARANOIA adventure circa 1990-91, late in the original line; I think it was in CTV/ParaNormal, not that anyone should care. Be assured My First Treason has nothing to do with, and in no way resembles, that earlier effort.)

No, seriously. If you make non-commercial use of stuff here, that's fine, but we reserve all commercial rights, and all rights to prepare derivative material on things posted here. In addition, posters of comments must be aware that we reserve the right to use whatever material they post here, and/or derivative works therefrom, in PARANOIA, supplementary products, licensed products, or derivative work, without any compensation whatever, for all time to come and throughout this universe and any alternate universes that may be discovered. At our discretion, and without obligation, we may, if it strikes our fancy, make a good faith effort to credit you for stuff we use, but we can't promise it won't slip our minds, in the hurly-burly of meeting deadlines. (Actually, we intend to do that, but it's possible we'll screw up.) By posting comments, you grant us a non-revocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use whatever you post, in whatsoever fashion we deem useful, here or in any other forum, in PARANOIA or in any and all future products, including but not limited to derivative works, and specifically but not exclusively including the microbrewery beer, ale and porter; salty and sugary snack; and tattoo design rights deriving therefrom. Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
