About the adventure
Greetings freshly cloned citizens, welcome to Alpha Complex! Do not be confused by any memories that you may (or may not) believe that you have; these are actually pseudomemories helpfully uploaded to your frontal lobe by Friend Computer to aid with orientation and minimize the occurences of psychotic incidents. Do not be alarmed! Some confusion is healthy, and Friend Computer wants you to be healthy. You are a valued citizen here in Alpha Complex and Friend Computer loves you. Friend Computer has detected acts of terrorism in multiple sectors of Alpha Complex, and frankly the number of terrorists seems to be increasing. Although you're a fresh clone starting out at infrared-level, Friend Computer knows you have the moxie, the gumption, and and the sheer [RANDOM COMPLIMENT #37 NOT FOUND] to really make something of yourself (even if that something is a warm sticky flesh-goo or a charred Troubleshooter crisp). That is, of course, if you're loyal to Friend Computer and Alpha Complex - You ARE loyal, aren't you? *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* This is a series of four (4) introductory Paranoia adventures which were designed to introduce players to the Alpha Complex, Friend Computer, and the general theme and gameplay of Paranoia. No effort to create characters or familiarize oneself with the rules is required on the parts of the players - in fact, showing up to play without knowing at all what to expect makes it more fun! These four (4) adventures will nominally take place each week over the course of four (4) weeks.

Additional Details
How to prepare
A microphone and Discord account are required for voice chat during sessions and for session 0 and other game-related text chat. NO UNDERSTANDING OR FAMILIARITY WITH THE PARANOIA SYSTEM IS NECESSARY - in fact, not knowing anything about it at all makes the experience more fun! Roll20 will be used for interactive maps. Roll20 also has electronic dice rolling options, and there is a functional dice rolling bot available on the Discord, but real dice may also be rolled at home. There is a Google Drive folder for this campaign with pre-generated character sheets which you will gain access to once you've signed up for this series of four (4) one-shots.
What I provide
On one hand what I bring to the table is a fun and funny experience - my philosophy is that life is pretty rough so we should be able to win against the baddies in our games and have a good time doing so. I also bring: * A hysterically funny campaign experience * A unique take on the Alpha Complex and Friend Computer * Detailed maps / descriptive settings / fun NPCs * Tons of freedom and space for your character to hurt themselves... I mean, for character development * Decades of experience crafting engaging stories * Some (amateur!) character voices
Gameplay details
This is a series of four (4) one-shots of Paranoia which are designed to help familiarize new players with the system and gameplay. Characters will be pre-made and the only dice you will need to roll are 6-sided. Session 0 will be handled through the consent form and one-on-one discussions with the GM, and lines no to cross will be discussed in the first 10-20 minutes of Session 1. These lines will be reviewed as necessary in later sessions. Results of the consent form will be collected into a single document and posted in the Google Drive as well as in the RP channel for this series of four (4) one-shots. Remember: the aim is for everyone to enjoy gameplay and have a fun time developing their characters in this world - L&V as well as players' general feelings toward the gameplay will be periodically revisted to ensure everyone is on the same page. 🏳️🌈♾️NOTE ♾️🏳️🌈 I run an inclusive space. At my tables, this means that I do my best to ensure that marginalized players don't have to deal with things like microaggressions or similar nonsense and can simply enjoy playing a TTRPG. Furthermore, my campaigns include positive minority representation both through plot and NPCs.

How will character creation work
Pre-made characters will be available to use for this series of four (4) one-shots - no character generation is necessary. The GM will work with you through Discord chat to assign a pre-generated character that you will enjoy playing (remember: Happiness is Mandatory and Friend Computer loves you).
