Pandemonium is a roleplaying game that takes place in the weird world of Tabloids - those tacky looking newspapers you see in the supermarket but are afraid to buy because you don't want your friends to think you actually believe Elvis is still alive¸ or that evil aliens from a far galaxy have come to Earth to kidnap our women. So¸ you sneak a peek while you're waiting in the checkout line but never actually get up the courage to buy a copy¸ because what would the neighbors say?
Pandemonium is a comedy role-playing game published by MIB Productions¸ Inc. It is inspired by fictional "news stories" which have appeared in tabloid publications such as The Weekly World News. In this game¸ all the unbelievable tabloid stories are actually true¸ and the people who know the truth are referred to as the "Enlightened". The game's rules are divided into two difficulty levels. The Pandemonium gamemaster is called -- The Editor.
