Mongoose Publishing has released the latest adventure for the Paranoia roleplaying game. In Mandatory Fun, corporations find themselves on the receiving end of the Mongoose satirical rapier. The 32 page softcover adventure (with PDF) carries an MSRP of $19.99 or grab just the PDF alone at DriveThruRPG for $11.99.
About the adventure:
You know what pisses off rich people (besides poor people that is)? Not having enough to buy. What is the use of a fat bank account when you cannot buy very expensive items to show your wealth off to others?
That’s why citizen Gene-I-JRD thumbed through some Pre-Whoops economic textbooks and implemented a new product: Financial investments. Now, the obscenely rich can lend their XP Points to others for a project. Too bad that Indigo citizen hired Troubleshooters to serve as middle management in this new company.
Mandatory Fun is a new mission for Paranoia that satirises corporations, including the relentless drive for profits, efficiency, cost-cutting, and mandatory fun like birthday parties. (Decanting Day parties in Alpha Complex.) Players get to run a presentation to people who could easily kill them; translate a memo from corporate buzzwords to plain English; and explain to an Indigo citizen why they lost all their money. Yep, that will go over well.
And in this mission, firing someone is literal.
