Fine work, Robert! As PARANOIA XP designer, I appreciate your clear summary of the rules and the all-important playtest feedback. I'm interested in hearing about your future game experiences once the players actually get to read the player section of the rulebook.

A couple of glosses on incidental points from your review: "One minor fan-boy gripe: the “i” in “it” is rarely capitalised when referring to The Computer."

PARANOIA XP retains the style established in the first and second editions of referring to The Computer as "it," lower-case. Referring to The Computer as "It," capitalized, would imply treatment of The Computer as a deity, which is incorrect unless you belong to the First Church of Christ Computer-Programmer secret society. The Computer doesn't want to be your god; it wants to be your friend.

"the Secret Society logos are not only obvious scans of those from Second Edition, but also the images weren’t cleaned up prior to going into the book"

Jim Holloway did a new set of secret society logos that will appear in the rulebook's second printing, "Service Pack One."
