State of the Mongoose 2007
After a prolonged shakeout of its major new in-house printing system, Mongoose is now shipping many thousands of hardcovers each month. (PARANOIA suffered a year-long downtime, but current releases include Flashbacks 2, STUFF 2: The Gray Subnets, and the mission omnibus Alpha Complex Nights.) About forthcoming PARANOIA support, Matthew writes:
We have a strong love for PARANOIA here at Mongoose (I can’t wait to see what new editor Charlotte makes of the first PARANOIA book she is given to edit!), and 2008 will see some pretty exciting additions. We are aiming to bring you more scenarios, along with a greater depth of support in Signs & Portents, but I have to mention two books that will be coming out in the first half of 2008; The Big Book of Bots and The Thin Green Line. The first I presume needs little introduction, but whether you are looking for a character somewhat more durable than a Troubleshooter or an evil GM wanting to inflict maximum pain on his players, The Big Book of Bots will present a staple of Alpha Complex in a variety of interesting and lethal styles.
The Thin Green Line will do for the Vulture Squadrons what HIL Sector Blues did for Int Sec. Expect the very worse moments of Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, and Full Metal Jacket, mixed in with hysterical Commies, contradicting orders, and your ever-present friend, The Computer.
Though Matthew doesn't mention it, I understand both of these books are currently scheduled to be written by Gareth (The Traitor's Manual) Hanrahan. Gareth has enjoyed a pleasant idyll, casually dashing off the forthcoming Mongoose edition of Traveller, and, now refreshed, is about ready to buckle down to some serious PARANOIA.
"This year has been an interesting one, as the Chinese say," Matthew concludes, "but as a whole, the company has been gearing itself up to reach for the next level. [...] We are not batting down the hatches and preparing to ride the storm of a shrinking market – far from it. Mongoose is looking to expand, and enjoy the rich and diverse industry in which we belong."
