Paranoia

[Madstone]

Greetings all. I've been lurking for some time, and now it's about time I said something.

I've noticed a lot of people discussing using Hero in various different gaming worlds through conversion and such. So I ask this: has anyone ever tried to run Paranoia via Hero?

I know that Paranoia and Hero are about as diametrically opposed as you can get mechanics wise, but I got in the mood for Paranoia recently, and, well, I don't have any of my old stuff. I do however have a big black book with a green man on the front. Just thought I'd ask.

Dont see whay you couldnt do it. The only exception is the time it takes to create a character, and the speed with which they are exterminated. :D But, if players and GM are for it, do it! ;)

Another idea might be to use the UNTIL powers database as a sort of mutant powers table. Since in Paranoia, there was no attempt made (or needed) at balancing the mutant powers. Just make a list of say 100-500 powers and mutations (bad powers), Id suggest an active point range as diverse as -25 to 100, for full flavored FUN! and then have the players roll randomly and give them little note cards with their Special Power on them.

Then Kill em for holding a WHITE notecard..... LOL
