Introduction
This website is for the PARANOIA role-playing game published by Mongoose Publishing. Unlike the other pages that are part of FriendComputer.net, this is completey Out Of Character (OOC). Meaning this site doesn't pretend to be a netsite for The Computer or it's service groups.
Instead, this site is for GMs and includes aticles about the PARANOIA game, finer points of GMing, and other high-clearance stuff. If you are a player, then this website is not for you!. It's not like you're going to get hurt or anything, but there is a lot of information here that could ruin your next game. But hey, you're a big boy. Do what you want.
I hope you find some good reading in the UV Lounge. Feel free to suggest or request topics you'd like to read more about, and don't forget to visit the forums at Paranoia-Live.net for much more on being a GM for PARANOIA.

The Big Change
If you've been to this site in the past, you'll notice it has changed a lot. We restructured FriendComputer.net to look more like a netsite in Alpha Complex. The entire site is now organized by service groups, and many service firms have their own pages.
That means there's a lot more content--which is where you can help. We are currently looking for writers to add content to our site. We're not looking for HTML experience or anything like that. Instead, we just want people who can write the PARANOIA stuff. We would take care of posting it in the HTML documents and all that.
Interested? Then send us an email at biggles@friendcomputer.net with a short sample of your writing. You can request to work on one page all the time, or just freelance and drop us stuff when you have the time. And no, we cannot pay you. This is all volunteer work on our end.
