SERVE THE COMPUTER. THE COMPUTER IS YOUR FRIEND The first edition of Paranoia is perfect and without flaw in every respect. The Computer says so. The Computer says the second edition is even more perfect. Do you doubt The Computer?
In the second edition, citizens will find streamlined rules, better organization, improved graphics, and oodles of staging hints and gamemastering tips.
Many of the supplements released for the Second edition fall into a story arc set up by new writers and line editors that was intended to freshen up the game and broaden roleplay possibilities. Players could travel in space and time, play in a Computerless Alpha Complex, or an Alpha Complex in which Computer battled for control with other factions. Some fans criticized the change to the default narrative.
