Mongoose forum posts of note 

This week Mongoose Publishing posted an announcement that the current range of PARANOIA products will be retired at the end of this month, in advance of this summer's 25th Anniversary line, starting with the PARANOIA: Troubleshooters rulebook and the Black Missions limited edition.

On the Mongoose forum, this announcement prompted a question about compatibility between the forthcoming PARANOIA Anniversary rulebooks and the existing support line. Mongoose staff writer Gareth Hanrahan, designer of the 25th Anniversary rulebooks, replied:
The new rules are 95+% compatible with the previous edition. I can only surmise that most of the older supplements are sold out, and the remaining stock is fast dwindling. I'll attempt to bring Those Who Know into this thread.
Speaking of the Mongoose forum: Saturday, June 20th is Free RPG Day, where participating game stores worldwide distribute free roleplaying material. This year Mongoose has prepared a special 32-page PARANOIA booklet including quick-start rules and a brief introductory mission. On the Mongoose forum, an enterprising citizen who got this booklet in advance of the day itself (treason point!) asked about a loyalty test accidentally omitted from the Free RPG Day booklet (treason point for, uh, somebody else to be named later!). In response, Gareth posted the text of the entertaining form right in the topic. Commendation point, Gareth!

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.
