It's been literally years since I played paranoia! It's by far the best RPG
*ever*. It neatly sidesteps the whole "take the whole thing too
seriously/powergamers" problem, and I love the BOFHly role the GM has to
take on.

Heh, I'm just severely cutting back for the New Year. "One a day on average"

Oh, it's fairly easy to just /drink/ six to eight fairly quickly, but your
night will be rather long... I got through about half a gallon of vodka Red
Bulls on the New Year boozing session, and I finally got some sleep about
6am (and woke a couple of hours later.)

Sounds fun.  What rules would it be?  Or is that information not available
at my security clearance?

The 11th is good for me (you sure you don't mean Friday the 12th)

Yeah, and now that Greg's had to pull out as well it looks like it won't
happen.  But let's sort out a date for some time in January.  Around the
middle of the month.  How are Friday the 12th and/or 19th for people?

Eek!  I know we had a volunteer to GM this, but I disremember who.  Was it
GRE-G-MCC or DAV-U-CRO?  In any case, a coupla days isn't enough time to
prepare a game properly, so perhaps the GM should use one of the games
published by WEG.  I have a few but they're languishing in my parents' attic
so I'm not much use.

I haven't made any plans yet but was thinking about going down to the

ear from there on.  Anyone fancy that?
