Good compilation of classic Paranoia Adventures
2 Aug 2005
Format:Hardcover
Paranoia XP: Flashbacks is compilation of eight classic Paranoia adventures, slightly updated for Paranoia XP. In addition of these classic adventures, book also contains three `Code 7' mini-missions from Acute Paranoia box set and new (and quite dull) orientation mission for freshly shanghaied Troubleshooters. For those who are wondering could they use this book with their Paranoia 2nd edition, answer is simple 'yes'. Though you need to convert characters for 2nd edition rules all by yourself, most other conversions in this book are minor and the adventures are very close to their original counterparts. Most of the original artwork is also there, but in case of some of later released adventures, some of the original artwork has been replaced with new one.
FULL CONTENTS:
* Alpha Complexities
* Das Bot
* Me and My Shadow Mark 4
* Robot Imana 665-C
* Send in the Clones
* Trouble With Cockroaches, the
* Yellow Clearance Black Box Blues, the
* Vapors Don't Shoot Back
* Three 'Code 7' mini-missions
* Pre-Paranoia orientation mission
But should you buy it? It depends. If you are seeking good compilation of older Paranoia material, book is goldmine. If you are searching something for one-shots, book is also very good choice though some of the longer adventures can take even three gaming sessions to complete. But if you don't really care for pre-made adventures, there is probably nothing here that would interest you, though most book's adventures have terrific ideas for killing Troubleshooters.

Geared for serious Paranoia gamers
10 Nov 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I know; "serious paranoia" is a bit of an oxymoron. What I mean by this, is that most of the contained missions are not quick, easy-to-run missions for the occasional Paranoia game session. Granted, there are several "mini" missions, but the majority are pretty heavy hitters; missions that will take both significant prep time (simply to digest all the information) and game time. If the members of your group are real Paranoia fans, then this is probably a good fit for you. If, however, you are looking for quick, easy-to-run missions for the occasional foray into Paranoia, you'd probably be better off with "WMD" or "Crash Priority".
That said, all the "classics" are here; you certainly get a lot of content for your 40 bucks.

These adventures all stand the test of time, still being funny and terrifying after all these years.
The other reviewer did a bang up job of detailing the contents. The Amazon review is wrong, however. HIL Sector Blues actually appears in Extreme Paranoia, and is only casually mentioned in the introduction of Paranoia Flashbacks.
The price here on Amazon is well worth the many adventures contained herein, chosen for fun value rather than any other reason. These are the best adventures of the previous editions, upgraded to Paranoia XP.
If adventures are what you need, I'd definately get Flashbacks before any other book in the XP line.
