I moved on from D&D to AD&D when I was a kid, but I prefer Runequest now.

Brilliant, Paranoia has to be the most frustrating game I've played,
having to do things that you know are going to get you into deep s**t if
anyone notices. A bit like real life really. I'll pack my dice as well,
including (if isn't broken/lost) my D100, takes ages to stop rolling. Is
there a DM going to Auchen?.

or alternatively, Great Handfuls Of Dice (GHOD) as a certain roleplaying
system requires.
Don't, whatever you do, fire the chain-gun, 3,000 rounds a minute is a

My only experience of playing D&D type games was a complete failure. My
youngest brother used to play many years ago, when, AIUI, it was very much
a fantasy game, without books that told you the rules and all these
strange dice, so that was the idea I had of what it was about. But it
turned out that there were all these *rules* that you had to follow, and
you couldn't make anything up. They gave me this character sheet (most of
which I couldn't make any sense of, anyway) for a wizard. Then someone
said I had to go to sleep. I said that wizards don't sleep (well, I've
read my Tolkein, even if none of them appeared to have.) This didn't go
down very well. I think they killed me off (another thing I disagreed
with) soon after that as we were obviously never going to agree on
anything to do with how the game worked.

This took me back to the glory days (before I knew unix and Motif) to
using a big IBM mainframe running OS-390 + a time sharing known as TSO
(yuck), this was the reason I got into Unix as it was the lesser of two
evils.
But one of our test rigs was run on a DEC and it was often easier to
transmit a file to it, edit it using TECO and transmit it back (this was
without ftp, nfs or anything else resembling 1970s technology (in 1990))
Ahh a wave of nostalga has hit me....

Bit more complicated. It's more of a blender then render process, followed by
desaturation to make it runny. Also, with a little lemon juice, the
