The Yellow Clearance Black Box Blues is a 48-page adventure for the Paranoia RPG. It was written by John M. Ford, published by West End Games in 1985, and is generally regarded as one of the classic adventures for the game, and a milestone in the development of comedy in RPGs. It was re-released in 2017 for the rebooted edition of Paranoia that was co-designed by James Wallis, Grant Howitt and Paul Dean, and I swear that's the first I've ever heard of that version, though it seems to be the only form in which TYCBBB is commercially available right now. $29.99 for a 48-page PDF from 1985.

As the Warhammer franchise reaches its 40th anniversary, the company Games Workshop's stated goal of “total global domination” is going swimmingly. But there's one person who hasn't gotten swept up in the war of miniature game pieces: me. I go to a Warhammer 40K tournament at The Brooklyn Strategist to learn why this tabletop role-playing game is so beloved and addictive. And I talk with game designer and author James Wallis about how a small company in Nottingham captured the zeitgeist of Thatcher-era Britain and infused their game with satire – even if some players missed the joke. James' latest book is “Everybody Wins: Four Decades of the Greatest Board Games Ever Made.” Curious what painted Warhammer miniatures look like?

For both seasons of Ross Payton, Greg Stolze, and James Wallis' RPG podcast Ludonarrative Dissidents, Tech Diff has supported their Kickstarter. Because of this, we were able to sit down with James and Greg for a game. For season one, James ran a game for Greg and Ethan, of an in development RPG called Nancy Drow.Unfortunately there were hiccups with James' audio, but we had a lovely time regardless. And, as this is a playtest, it takes some time to get going as we go through character generation on mic.A pair of youths in a world of fantasy heroism have to live without any super powers or fighting skills. What seems like a simple purse-snatching turns into a much bigger problem...Nancy Drow is still in development.
