Cool, a new edition of Paranoia. With great excitment I purchased this and yes we have had fun with it, it is Paranoia after all, how can you not have fun, after the computer says so and you wouldn't want....... "gak@#$!!!"
So it's Paranoia. Great game. Excellent streamlined new rules - great new true 'one roll' combat system that works wonderfully and maximise their fun. I love the way everyone describes their actions and rolls their dice, and because it all happens simultaneously, the GM then narrates the outcome. Brilliant!.
BUT! It is still laid out as poorly as the earlier editions, and the PDF didn't have bookmarks. No bookmarks you say, obviously you don't need any because if you did the Computer would have provided them, right?
Look it's no problem thumbing through a hardcopy, but when using PDFs I like bookmarks. Give me my bookmarks. The expense of adding them to the product would have been minimal and the exclusion thereof comes across as greedy or lazy and makes the product difficult to use.
So to rate the product, I'm very happy with the changes Mongoose have made tom the game. Not happy with this particular product. So compromise three out of five.
