Xia has arrived, and it is gorgeous!

I would really like to play paranoia!  Count me in for a spot!

Brittani, you're in.

Some clarifications:
- we'll be playing first edition.  I looked at third edition (aka Paranoia XP) and it will take me too long to get up to speed   I don't think the edition is all that important in this game since it's the setting that dominates the fun.
- bring your own percentile dice if you can.  I'll bring some spare sets for those who may lack polyhedral dice.
- bring a clipboard and some scrap paper.  I'll give out pregenerated characters.
- we'll start orientation promptly at 6:30.  I estimate about 20, maybe 25 minutes to briefly go over the setting, and have a brief conversation with each player about special situations.  The adventure is a 1- to 2-hour one so we should be done by 9 pm.

I'll post a little blurb on the game world (Alpha Complex) and the basics you should know - I'll try to get it up by the end of the week.

And just to clarify:  we have room for six players, plus me as GM.

I can bring paper but I don't have dice!  Any chance I can borrow one of the spares you are bringing?

For sure!

Quite a few people approached me last night advising they couldn't play Paranoia on the 21st, or that 6:30 pm didn't work for them.  If there's enough demand I'd be happy to run another session and it could be later in the evening.  Maybe in December?  Let me know if you'd be interested.

I'll try Xia. Looks kinda like Galaxy trucker, but different.

Recently purchased Twilight Struggle and would really appreciate if someone familiar with the game wouldn't mind showing me the ropes. 

I am free all night

Crafty, Dana expressed interest in playing a practice game of Twilight Struggle with you after 7:30 on the TS league page.   I'd be happy to give you another practice game / tutorial for it after Xia wraps up around 9:30 if you're interested.
