State of the Mongoose 2009 

Mongoose Publishing CEO Matthew Sprange continues his long-standing annual tradition of "State of the Mongoose" posts on the Mongoose forum. Learn about Mongoose's successes in the past year and ambitious plans for 2010, including a new edition of RuneQuest, lots and lots of Traveller goodness, and this bit about PARANOIA:
Right now, we are waiting to see what PARANOIA fans make of our two latest core rulebooks, Internal Security and the imminent High Programmers. They are part of a grand experiment to see whether fans are ready to explore other aspects of Alpha Complex beyond Troubleshooters.

All three core books will be supported by missions next year, and PARANOIA High Programmer Gareth Hanrahan has been hard at work on them already. There are some great titles coming – literally, some of these missions have great names, such as Scenes From a Surveillance Society, Meltdowns get me Down, and A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Termination Booth. We are going to have trouble fitting some of those on the front cover of the books!

While there are no solid plans as of yet, we are also looking at the possibility of new core books for PARANOIA, such as delving into the Vulture Squadrons – but also looking beyond Alpha Complex to see whether the rules and dynamics can work in other settings. There are two lead contenders for this idea at the moment, and we’ll keep you informed as to how they are turning out.
State of the Mongoose 2009.

Evidently, when pitching Brave New Complex, you clearly should have gone for one 200-page core book per scenario. Hindsight huh? :)
