Default Paranoia/Twilight 2000 Crossover

Just saw something today that said there was an official Paranoia/Twilight 2000 crossover called Twilightcycle: 2000

"Vulture Warriors of Dimension X", part 2. Crossover with Twilight 2000 as the player characters travel back in time to World War III

Did anyone ever have it or play it? Must have been interesting considering how crazy the Paranoia game was in general

Yes, I've had it for decades but never been able to play it.
Written with the assumption it'll be played as part of a larger Paranoia campaign (does such a thing exist?), but also includes characters and rules for 1st ed T2K.
It's crazy. It's insane. It's seriously deadly.
It's AWESOME!!!!

And when I say "deadly" I mean bodies piled up above shoulder level and usable as cover against AT weapons. Just because they're your own characters bodies from about half a second later in your personal timeline doesn't make it freaky at all...

It's hard to tell which is more dangerous, traitors or "happy citizens."
The Computer is your friend. Trust the Computer, or you will be used as reactor shielding.

You would let traitors get so close to the reactor?
Sounds like treason to me.....

The fact that you're discussing this information in public without checking the security clearance of the others violates security.
If you do not know if they have clearance before discussing this information, you are violating security.
Violations of security are treason.

But of course, knowing their security clearance would mean you have access to priviliged information.
You are not allowed access to priviliged information.
Access to priviliged information is treason.



Ah I loved Paranoia. I don't think I ever played a game where any of my clones survived (however, I only played two or three times back in the early 90s so that's not really saying much).
And yes, I too own a copy of the Twilight/Paranoia crossover, like Leg I've had it for decades but never found anyone else to play it with

Most of my players have played T2K and Paranoia. The idea of combining the two...scares them.

I had a copy, it was "OK" and you definitely don't play it straight. In any case, I give it a 5-6 on a 10 scale, and yeah, it was part of a larger campaign.
