About the adventure

Good //++insert day cycle++// citizen! You are once again called upon to serve Your Friend the Computer through mandatory volunteering for another fun and exciting Troubleshooter mission! Please report to Briefing Room AAB//i8b//G10, Sector PSS. Records show you have not yet filled out and submitted Form Y32-dixe2-[redacted]-zzezz-[redacted]-[redacted]. Paranoia is a darkly humorous dystopian TTRPG in which you play one of the Alpha Complex's Troubleshooters, the Computer's most expendable elite force. Your mission: Find trouble — mutants, terrorists, traitors, [CLASSIFIED], secret societies, renegade bots — and shoot it, all while blaming your teammates for your mission failure while hoping they don't figure out you are a mutant / terrorist / secret society member, all for the glory of our friend, the Computer! Stay alert, trust no one, and keep your laser handy! The dystopian future has never been so fun.

About me

Welcome! I'm Gunnhrafn (he/him), and I'm a long-time GM (26 years of experience) who loves to run a wide variety of games for a wide variety of people, including introducing new players to role-playing games and introducing players to new games. I first started GMing in 1986 and I first began playing TTRPGs back in 1982. As a GM, I enjoy shared story-telling and collaborative world building. I use Discord for communication, and a mix of theater of the mind, Foundry VTT, Roll20, Quest Portal, and Google Sheets depending upon the game. For custom bookings for groups please contact me with an inquiry. I'm available to run one-shots, short-run games, and campaigns for groups and individuals (for one-to-one gaming). I'm also available to teach game systems or help with character creation. Rates will vary depending upon the request. I'm also available to run guided solo and other one-player/one-GM style games. Rates generally run $15-$18.50 for a 60-75 minute game and $25 for a 2 hour session. Depending upon the time, I can run weekly and bi-weekly games. For a complete list of guided solo/one-to-o e games I can run, please see my list of guided games at https://tinyurl.com/buft7utu. Most of these games can also be run play-by-post.

Safety

How Gunnhrafn creates a safe table

Maintaining a comfortable and inclusive experience for everyone in our game is a top priority, and we have a number of tools to help us achieve that goal. I strongly encourage player feedback, both in what you like about current play, what you would like to see happen in future play, and what hasn't been working for you in previous play. My job as trying to create the best experience I'm able to for each player, and that requires good feedback from you. We'll discuss the following table tools during at the start of our game, and we are always able to renegotiate our use of these tools. |Inclusive Table| This is a welcoming, open table and there is no space for racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, or transphobia. |Open Table and Breaks| Players may come and go as suit their needs in the moment, whether that's to walk away from an intense or difficult moment or to let the dog out or answer the door to get dinner. During our session, we will have a 10 minute break, roughly halfway through our game. |Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist (lines and veils), X-card, and Script Changes| Before our session, players should fill out our version of the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist to indicate content we should remove (lines), content that should be off-stage (veil), and content they would like to see included. During play we have both the X-card (a request to end a scene or shift the content immediately — An in-game call for a Line), as well as the following Script Change tools (Rewind, Pause, Fast-forward).
