Collection of PARANOIA magazine articles 

On Paranoia-Live.net, loyal citizen Aratos has kindly posted even-loyal-er citizen Greymist's extensive .RAR archive collection of PARANOIA magazine articles from eons past. Take a trip through history (and sometimes unhistory) with Dragon, Challenge, and especially White Dwarf -- the classic general-interest White Dwarf of long ago, children, not today's miniatures-catalog incarnation.

Most of these articles tend heavily toward the slapstick Zap play style. But after all those years you spent listening to old-timers reminisce with quavering voices about Ken Rolston's WD crossover between PARANOIA and Warhammer 40,000, now you can, at long last, read for yourself the hallowed "Vulture Warriors from Dimension X Meet Plenty of Cheerful Orks with Plasma Cannons."

I do, in fact, love me some plasma cannons. And plasma pistols. And generators. And...and...

Also, general-interest White Dwarf was really good, from the few issues that I have. Some of the articles were much better than corresponding treatments in Dragon - I was surprised.

Unfortunately, you can't access that forum without being registered on the site and having "special access, granted through user groups".

In other words, that document really isn't available at my security clearance.

:(

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.

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.
