Mysteries of Swindon 

I'm back from the Mongoose Hall 07 Open Day. PARANOIA related news from the trip:

I also ran a demo game of PARANOIA. I dragged my Disaster Management convention scenario out of the bowels of my hard drive. In that game, the players are BLUE-clearance managers of a sector's emergency response command, and have to deal with six escalating disasters. The three players did admirably well, drugging the High Programmer, accidentally loosing a deranged Bot cult on Alpha Complex (my brain-chips are meeeeeelting! But I must draw the seeeeeeembols!) and eventually blaming absolutely everything on FMB Sector. I'll write that adventure up for Signs & Portents soonish, I swear.

(The non-PARANOIA news from the Open Day was that Mongoose are going to launch a new version of Traveller, which your humbler blogger will be writing. This continues Mongoose's practice of reworking classic games, such as PARANOIA and RuneQuest.)

Comments:
The GM was really rather good too. I was especially impressed with the personalities that the various bots developed (not that I'd want to meet any of them in person, especially the scrubbots).

Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
