I ran the second part of a Paranoia XP game last night. I haven’t actually run Paranoia in over ten years I think, so there were a lot of little things I forgot or wasn’t ready for. And I am both a lazy and uncreative GM, so during the game, I really wanted a random security clearance table which would look something like this:

1 Infrared
2-3 Rank-2
4-5 Rank-1
6-8 Troubleshooter’s Rank
9-13 Rank+1
14-17 Rank+2
18-19 Rank+3
20 Violet

In which rank is the player character’s rank.

* In situations where it does not make sense to have an infrared clone, treat any result below Red as Red. Treat any result over Violet as Violet.

This table is skewed to produce results higher than the character’s rank, but only because I didn’t want my players feeling like they can push other people around easily.
