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.

Fresh from playing the Paranoia Mandatory Bonus Fun Card Game, Dan and Paul discuss their experience with various editions of the Paranoia RPG. Stay alert, trust no one, and keep your laser handy! Paranoia is a humorous role-playing game set in a dystopian future along the lines of Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World, Logan's Run, and THX 1138; however, the tone of the game is rife with black humor, frequently tongue-in-cheek rather than dark and heavy. Most of the game's humor is derived from the players' (usually futile) attempts to complete their assignment while simultaneously adhering to the Computer's arbitrary, contradictory and often nonsensical security directives. Originally designed and written by Greg Costikyan, Dan Gelber, and Eric Goldberg, and first published in 1984 by West End Games, since 2004 Paranoia has been published under license by Mongoose Publishing. The game won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Rules of 1984 and was inducted into the Origins Awards Hall of Fame in 2007. Paranoia is notable among tabletop games for being more competitive than co-operative, with players encouraged to betray one another for their own interests, as well as for keeping a light-hearted, tongue in cheek tone despite its dystopian setting.

Not feeling well and not being able to get to the internet robbed us of Jenny this week. However, despite that lack, this was a great episode because we had an awesome guest host! Paranoia writer WJ MacGuffin joined us to talk about incorporating real-world faiths into our gaming. We started off the episode with a quick general check-in and let WJ introduce himself and his work, talking a bit about what we've been reading in the process. From there, we fielded out Patreon question, which came to us via John and Ginny Swann, who asked "Your recent series on D&D alignments got me to thinking. I know you aren't huge fans of the Palladium system but what are your thoughts on their alignment system?" Fortunately, while we did have a bit to say about Palladium's alignment system, the presence of a guest kept us from creating a new multi-part series. From there, we read our scripture and dove into our rather meaty main topic. The main topic was just what it said on the tin - and there's a lot to think about with regards to incorporating a real-world faith into one's game - whether that's as a writer, a player, or a GM. Sensitivity, accuracy, and still keeping it gameable are all very real concerns. Mentioned in this Episode: Project Infinite Hole on Kickstarter, the Paranoia RPG, Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America, Dennis E. Taylor's Bobiverse novels, Letter From a Birmingham Jail, Holey Moley, The Innocence Files, and Jelle's Marble Runs Scripture: Exodus 20: 1-3, John 13: 34-35, James 1:26-27
Wherein I put out a plea for help to the Anchorite community and beyond on running a game of Paranoia. If you have insights, PLEASE let me know. I would love to hear from you! Also featuring call in's from Jason and Spencer.
Personal plotlines are a way to make every character interesting. Most of this advice is relevant to campaigns. In short adventures characters usually have some internal desires that's meant to flash them out and to help the players propel the game forward (“I need to keep going to save my vampire bride from being killed by those evil villagers”). Uri's plotline formula: let X be the number of player characters, then the number of plot lines should be X+1. One for each PC and one for the party to keep them together and give a common goal. ### Critical role provided the inspiration (2:37) [The episode in question, around 3:00:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3JWNPcspoM). ### The purpose of personal plotlines (5:30) * Character background & development * Player interest in types of stories (the rise and fall of the paladin Zamlophia) * Hooking the PCs: On the campaign level, subtle railroading toward a purpose. On the adventure level, a not so subtle a arrow pointing the way. * A way to signal the GM what the player is interested in. * World building (in Fate players are encouraged to create aspects that are tied to the world and the forces in it) Hook the plotline to an NPC or an organisation. ### Inner struggle (16:00) A personal plotline should be tied to an internal struggle of the character, because then it can manifest in every situation. For example, if a character wishes to avenge the murder of his father the king, he's not just on a quest to catch/kill the murderer - he is also struggling with a moral choice, facing grief, or coming to terms with his past as a spoiled rich prince. These internal conflicts can manifest at any encounter and enhance the character even when not directly pursuing his plotline. [11 ways to be a better roleplayer](https://dwarves.podiant.co/e/35dc2e1458f9c0/) It's not about the cake. ### Conflicting plotlines (24:00) Plotlines are tools that create effects. Conflicting plotlines create discord among the PCs (and in most cases, among the players). Make sure you understand how these tools work and what effects they create and use them for your intended purpose.
