Paranoia: Sweep of Unhistory/My First Treason Price: £9.99 Paranoia XP Adventures by Mongoose Publishing Double the adventure, double the fun, double the treason! Sweep of Unhistory At the tone, it will be 5.00am on Twosday, Day 128, Yearcycle 214. Your duty cycle begins now. Good morning citizen. It has always and will always be yearcycle 214 of The Computer’s glorious reign. The first yearcycle 214 was such a good yearcycle, there was no sense in letting it go after only one iteration. 214’s a nice number; it suggests that the current regime is established enough to be secure and bravely forging forward into the future, but that its enemies are still lurking out there, waiting for their chance. 214 means constant vigilance, constant paranoia. At the tone, it will be 5.00am on Foursday, Day 320, Yearcycle 214. Your duty cycle begins now. Good morning citizen. Whenever the yearcycle rolls around, The Computer’s loyal army of editors and censors goes to work. The official histories have to be rewritten each time. Approved events are added to the archives; unapproved events are unhappened and made unhistory. A billion billion forms need to be edited and updated to the new, official timeline. Great processing storms sweep across the faltering computer nets, running a swarm of scripts to edit all the databases. The occasional date bug leading to reactor meltdowns needs to be fixed (or edited out of the official history). The population, too, needs to be adjusted. Memories edited. Badthoughts and badhistories suppressed. By the time the legacy of the last yearcycle 214 has been integrated into the approved history, why, it’s almost time for the next yearcycle 214!* At the tone, it will be 5.00am on Mandatoryreportingday, Day 365, Yearcycle 214. Your duty cycle begins now. Good morning citizen. To quote Orwell’s 1984: ‘If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.’ Well, up to a point, George. Yes, the future of Alpha Complex is an infinity of oppression, fear and suffering, but that doesn’t mean that that black jackboot can’t be replaced by other, more stylish and wonderfully ergonomic footwear. In all the yearcycle 214s stretching out in front of us, our oppression will come in exciting brave new forms. At the tone, it will be 5.00am on Onesday, Day 001, Yearcycle 214. Your duty cycle begins now. Good morning citizen. And that, in a nutshell, is The Sweep of Unhistory. The Troubleshooters are recloned and retconned over and over again, brought back in successive eras of Alpha Complex future history, to bring their unique skills to bear on a series of problems. From the next few yearcycles to the distant future of the complex, The Sweep of Unhistory will bring the Troubleshooters into increasingly strange yet nightmarishly familiar missions. When the horn howls, it will be Sunburning on the Day of the Gray Worm, Yearcycle 214. Your impressment begins now. Good morning freeclone. My First Treason A mini-campaign for Paranoia, complete with six pregenerated player characters. Not ‘pregenerated Troubleshooters’, you’ll note, because My First Treason’s characters are brave young junior citizens: Alpha Complex kids in an Alpha Complex crèche. The four chapters of the mini-campaign each cover one year of their education, from age 10 to age 14 (when they go off to join the loyal workforce). Along the way, they’ll run into secretive conspiracies, nefarious traitors, weird mutants and gratuitous terminations - all in their very own crèche! Can the characters solve their problems and the secrets of their past while still studying for the Approved Revised History of Alpha Complex (fifth edition) exam? More ...
