Description:

CITIZEN OF ALPHA COMPLEX! YOUR MANDATORY ORIENTATION STARTS HERE.

The Computer is happy. The Computer is crazy. The Computer wants citizens to be happy. This drives them crazy. Many traitors threaten the underground city of Alpha Complex. Who's more dangerous - traitors or happy citizens?

THERE MAY BE A TEST, FOLLOWED BY POSSIBLE TERMINATION.

This all-new anthology introduces both new and returning citizens to the joys and rigors of PARANOIA. Five light-hearted stories feature backstabbing mutants, misprogrammed robots, and crazed firefights in the food vats.

THIS COLLECTION WILL HELP YOU BECOME LOYAL, INFORMED, AND LOYAL.

Several of these short, mayhem-filled tales feature characters from the PARANOIA novel line.

* "Rule Zero": Heroic Troubleshooters seeking a stolen helpbot (from Stay Alert) find the legendary Bot Graveyard.
* "Hay Fever": Efficiency auditor Clarence-Y meets his pet mouse, Ignatius (Traitor Hangout).
* "Data Exhaust": Watch the head of the Department of Threat Obfuscation (Reality Optional) try to leave his apartment.
* Plus "Market Research" and "Action Request" by Greg Ingber, and the history of PARANOIA.

STAY ALERT! TRUST NO ONE! KEEP YOUR LASER HANDY!

The Computer says so, and -

I'm probably one of only three people in the universe to consider myself a fan of the Paranoia series, but I was really psyched to see the old material that I had long ago misplaced become available again in electronic form. If your RPG group is like m [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
