Is there a system you'd like us to make a tutorial on? Reply to this comment with your suggestion!

My single favorite line to highlight the absurdity of the world of Paranoia!

As someone who has played a bit of Paranoia, this is probably one of the best introductory Paranoia videos. You covered all of the important points while still capturing the tone and nuance of Red Clearance. Excellent!

@TheRPGBlender 3 года назад

Thank you so much! I'm glad I was able to capture the tone of this fantastic game!

Top tier content, citizen. The Computer appreciates your dedicated service to Alpha Complex.

@TheRPGBlender 3 года назад

There is no greater pleasure than dutiful service to The Computer.

One of my fav games of all time, when me and my friends play it we have lots of fun, the GM less so because you need a lot of mental strenght to play Paranoia lmao Also fun fact, in Italy is also called "Paranoia" wich literally translate to "paranoid", a title that explains perfectly the game lmao

@ajburd7997 2 года назад

so my main dnd group (of almost 5 years) is taking a break from that sytem to do a GM round robin of different systems! Mine is Paranoia! I'm already finding this INCREDIBLY helpful, i've made a spotify playlist of your paranoia actual-play, and i really cant wait to hear more of your excellent synopses of what this beautifully insane system has to offer. there are only 61 likes on this video, that's a damn crime.

@TheRPGBlender 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear it's helpful! Was the first real video I made here, so it is nice to see it is doing what I hoped. Enjoy playing Paranoia - it is a unique joy of a game to play and, in my opinion, some of the most fun I ever had running a game!

@adrianbell448 2 года назад

Just ordered paranoia and have found this incredibly informative and helpful, thanks

@TheRPGBlender 2 года назад

Glad to hear it! Enjoy the game, it's a ton of fun

Hey man, wasn't sure where to post, so picked this vid, ran my first game with a bunch of new players today and we had a total blast :) Took many of your tips and advice, and they all contributed to a good session! So thanks :) Nice work!

@TheRPGBlender 3 года назад

So glad it helped! This is an incredible game, and I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed it! Not an easy one to run, so great job on doing so!

The Color Ranks do not _technically_ represent job type or pay grade. They represent the amount of trust Friend Computer has in that clone. Infrareds, being the least trusted, are placed in the parts of Alpha Complex that are the furthest from any important systems, and are given the jobs least critical to maintaining Alpha Complex. Paradoxically, this complete lack of trust on the part of Friend Computer means that Infrareds have the most freedom and least amount of surveillance by FC. Being Ultraviolet simply means that FC has complete trust in that clone, hence why UVs are permitted to alter Friend Computer’s code.

@TheRPGBlender 2 года назад

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, color definitely reflects the trust friend computer has in the clone. That said, the Red Clearance Edition of the game does link specific jobs to the colors. So while yes, it is a representation of trust, in the edition being talked about here it is also an outward facing indication of their likely job. Maybe I'll do a followup at some point charting the history of changes throughout editions...
