Paranoia:Just Because You Think They're Out to Get You, Doesn't Mean They Aren't...
I don't think I've ever found an RPG quite like Paranoia.The dark humor of the totalitarian, computer-run civilization makes for amusing narration on the GM's part and all around once players get the hang of the dictator computer's double-speak procedures.Takes a good deal of wit, tact and wordplay.Playing in any role is fun, with a many-leveled playing field, unique terminology and plenty of opportunities for alliances, double-crosses and solo mayhem.Recommended for large groups.Great for all-nighters.

Other Books
The Paranoia game setting is sure to produce large amounts of hilarity.Make sure those cone rifles are locked and loaded, do what the computer says, and always follow orders, of course!

Product Description
"Barbarian Kings simulates the Red Age of political and military turmoil on the island continent of Castafon; situated in the Fira Ocean of the planet Hypastia, it is a place where magic works (sometimes), and men and near-men are as treacherous and as territorial as anywhere in the Universe. From two to five players assume the roles of kings and attempt to raise human and magical armies, led by wizards and heroes, in order to conquer and consolidate control of Castafon. Barbarian Kings is also a game of diplomacy as leaders create alliances (which may be broken at any time), collect taxes for maintenance of armies, and use their Spellcasters to attack rival heroes, magicians and armies. Rules cover hero abilities, branches of magic, special combat units (airships, warfrogs, and fleets), and neutral units. Barbarian Kings includes an 11" x 17" map, 100 cardboard counters, rules, and various playing aids." ... Read more
