Friend Computer unveils the world’s first ‘uncooperative’ miniatures game based on Five Parsecs From Home, set in the Paranoia RPG universe
London, ENGLAND: Tuesday 4th November 4pm GMT
Publisher of tabletop roleplaying games, wargames and board games, Modiphius Entertainment has today launched the pre-order for Five Clones from Alpha Complex, the miniatures version of the iconic, dark-humour Paranoia RPG, adapted by the same team as the best-selling Five Parsecs from Home and Five Leagues from the Borderlands.
The rulebook is accompanied by a Computer-approved range of 32mm scale highly detailed, multi-part resin models including Troubleshooters, Vulture Squadron, IntSec, Bots, High Programmers, Consoles & Vending Machines and even the smoking boot! No inhabitants were miniaturised or harmed, probably, in this process.
Troubleshooters! Want a game where teammates have each other’s backs and work together to accomplish a noble goal? Well, this ain’t it.
>> Remember, Citizen, all loyal Troubleshooters must follow the three rules:
Stay Alert! Trust No One! Keep Your Laser Handy!
Players join a so-called ‘team’ of Troubleshooters (find the trouble, get shot) and complete missions that keep Alpha Complex the safe, efficient Utopia its citizens trust. None of them are members of secret societies, and absolutely none of them have mutant powers. They’re certainly not going to report each other as Traitors or shoot each other in the back with a laser pistol. Hey, get them before they get you!
And if you die, don’t worry, you have five identical clones to take your place and mop up what’s left of you.
Trust The Computer. It never makes mjstakes.
Available to pre-order from today, 4th November, for £35 / $48, the Five Clones from the Alpha Complex rulebook includes:
- Procedural solo, co-op and group play rules gamemastered options throughout. Yes indeed, you are incentivised to inform on your own characters in solo play!
