Mongoose Publishing of Swindon¸ Wilts.¸ UK (www.mongoosepublishing.com) announced today agreement with the creators of the fondly remembered tabletop roleplaying game Paranoia¸ to develop and publish a new edition of the game¸ Paranoia XP. The new version will be written and produced by legendary game designers Allen Varney and Aaron Allston¸ with participation by Paranoia's original co-designer Greg Costikyan.

The developers will conduct their discussions about the game on a blog hosted at www.costik.com/paranoia¸ and those interested in the game are invited to comment and participate in the process.

Paranoia¸ originally published in 1984¸ has sold more than 200¸000 copies worldwide¸ and retains a fanatical following despite having been out of print for almost a decade. Designed by Dan Gelber¸ Greg Costikyan¸ and Eric Goldberg¸ it and its supplementary products have garnered numerous industry awards¸ including several Origins Awards and the Gamer's Choice Award. It is known not only for its hilarious¸ dark vision of a future world controlled by an insane Computer¸ but also for its ability to attract world-renowned authors to contribute to its supplements and ancillary material--people such as multiple World Fantasy Award-winning author John M. Ford; Warren Spector¸ whom PC Gamer magazine names as one of the top 20 creators in digital gaming¸ and Ken Rolston¸ co-creator of the best-selling PC game Morrowind.

Paranoia debuted at a time when the Soviet Union was shooting down jet liners and invading Afghanistan¸ and when many workers feared they would lose their jobs as a result of the spread of desktop computers. With its vision of an Orwellian world¸ a totalitarian society controlled by an insane Computer that demands instant obedience at laser-point¸ it struck a worldwide nerve. According to Costikyan¸ that vision is relevant now more than ever. 'Paranoia XP is not an attempt to bring back an old RPG for the nostalgic. Its basic themes -- totalitarianism¸ fear of technology¸ mistrust¸ and loathing--are¸ if anything¸ more relevant than they were in 1984. Spammers. Identify thieves. Blackhat hackers. The RIAA. Weapons of mass destruction. Totally dysfunctional government. Just as it did lo these many years ago¸ so shall the new Paranoia encapsulate and make funny the terrors we live with every day... or remind us to be afraid of things that we currently think are merely funny.'
