Well, we are talking _Paranoia_ here, where it's absurdist gaming at its best. To me it was a great example of both. It's a great farce of misdirection and unexpected plot twists, and I while I was amused with the how the module was written and fit together, what was best to me was that I could see my troupe and how they would react to the scenario. Most of the time, the next section followed *exactly* how the players ended up playing the scenario. Mr. Ford (GURPS: Time Travel, lots of other stuff) won awards for this module, well deserved in my opinion (though it was written over 16 years ago...) > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > GAMERS Home Page: http://www.phoenyx.net/gamers/ > ================================================================ -Coyt "The Internet, billions of electrons with nothing better to do." ---------------------------------------------------------------- GAMERS Home Page: http://www.phoenyx.net/gamers/
