Mongoose hints about the next PARANOIA 

On the Planet Mongoose company blog, Mongoose Publishing CEO summarizes some results from a discussion yesterday about the forthcoming 25th-Anniversary release of three revised PARANOIA rulebooks:
As Lawrence came down to our offices a short while ago to discuss RuneQuest, this week it was the turn of Gareth [Hanrahan], to cover the new PARANOIA this year. We managed to decide on:
  1. The format of the new front covers, and how we would differentiate between Troubleshooters, Int Sec and High Programmer lines.

  2. How to handle the interior artwork to put more 'funny' in.

  3. What the Limited Edition 25th Anniversary book would look like, and what Bonus Fun material would be included.

  4. How to actually produce that free material -- there are a lot of A/V elements planned.

  5. What rules needed changing. After that two-minute discussion, we moved on to what would be added.

  6. And what would be taken out -- Zap and Straight go to appendices...

  7. Not to change the basic layout of the interior, but to accentuate certain aspects.

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.
