Hello fellow High Programmers
I need an advice. I want to try running paranoia at local regular gaming convention. What would you advice for a starting module? What edition would work best?
So long i have only thought about intro
> all of <your characters> have been buying BBB from vending machienes when a short message blinked: "Congratulation! You have won a lottery for being 17aeFF2-iiiIIH citizen to buy a BBB! Immediately report to the nearest confession booth to recieve your prize! Your Friend, Computer"
> several hours later, holding cells under the trap door in confession booth open
> Computer praises them for vigilance and immediately promotes them up to infrared
> sounds of wide-scale IntSec pogrom are heard from above - lack of vigilance means their block must be a nest of those commie traitors!

They died out, slowly and with great pain.
Much of their fecundity was due to Sauron and Saruman's manipulations of their kind. Certainly there were female orcs - JRRT mentioned as much - but after the wholesale slaughter of their menfolk and the lack of large breeding populations of females to begin with....they simple passed on, much as neanderthal man has.
As the hobbits became men, so too did the orcs become men.

What's the orthodox view on the God-Emperor? Is it a omnipotent monotheistic view or a limited polytheistic view? Did the Emperor create humanity? How long has the Emperor existed? Is the body and spirit of the Emperor God or is it a Avatar of God? Was the Emperor always a God? If the Emperor became a God then can others? If others can become Gods then why should humanity solely worship the Emperor?

>What's the orthodox view on the God-Emperor?
Heretical. The pentarchy represents the church, and I do think the Orthodox Church inherrently acknowledges the Bishop of Rome as the heir to St. Peter and representative of Christ on earth, but only as first among equals together with the bishops of Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem and Alexandria. The emperor himself has no real theological position, though he is seen as special and more or less the lieutenant of the church. This is also why a lot of emphasis was placed on the wholeness and perfection of the emperor, and why (usually) mutilated men could not inherit the throne. Hence the popularity of blinding, castration and the cutting off of noses to eliminate pretenders.

Aren't Catholic and Orthodox just Sunni and Shia?
Is there a name for that genre that combines scifi and fantasy in that way that's popular in JRPGs and not really all that popular anywhere else?
With some guy wearing modern/futuristic clothes wielding a sword, fighting alongside a beast person wearing stylized medieval armor with a gun, along with a cybersuit-wearing ninja with cat features and a sword gun, and they fight against robots, knights, dinosaurs, soldiers, and dragons?
And there's medieval castles, futuristic military fortresses, ancient primordial temples, and gutter slums?
With tanks, spaceships, airships, cars, horses, and strange riding beasts?
And there's magic, technology, and magitechnology, and also mystical forces are slowly revealed and never fully explained and left for people to debate online indefinitely?
And everything seems to be chosen on account of it looking cool, yet there's a ton of effort put into the setting to still somehow make so many different elements still internally consistent?

>Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to dad, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. The great crusade was based on a very arrogant philosophy: that if the Emperor was a good man, the Imperium would prosper. We look at the grim reality and it’s not that simple. Father can say that He became Emperor and reigned for a Ten Thousand years, and brought humanity back from the darkness into the light. But the Emperor doesn’t ask the question: What were my sons’ tax policies in their homeworlds? Did they maintain a standing army? What did they do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these Daemons? By the end of the war, Imperium might reign surpreme but all of the daemons of chaos won’t gone – they'll inhabit the warp. Will father pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little daemonette, with their supple lithe titties?

I'm in a campaign that my little brother is DMing, and since we live together he occasionally talks about his plans for the campaign and things like that. The issue is that he mentioned that he wanted to introduce a NPC who would become a permanent party member if we completed her quest. He doesn't have a ton of experience DMing, aside from a campaign he did with his high schooler friends. My main worry is that he tends to be kind of railroady, and approaches DMing in the same way he would approach writing a fantasy novel. Overall he's an alright DM, so while I doubt he'd use this NPC to self-insert or do any more scummy stuff, it does rub me the wrong way. However, I let it slip that I didn't really like the idea, and he got rather offended. We've agreed to not discuss his plans for the campaign any more, but I want to find a way to defuse the situation. I'm probably overthinking this, but any advice?

Teehee Maccaroni is the bane of my fucking existence.
Every fucking campaign that my GM runs inevitably at some point involves running into an NPC named "Teehee Maccaroni," who the GM affectionately describes as "an epic level sorcerer who's also a retarded nudist gnome."
Teehee Maccaroni wander the countryside with a unique Rod of Wonders powered by "retard magic" shoved up his anus, and he casts the Rod of Wonders by diddling his penis. He says nothing but his own name in different inflections and the phrase "I like-a the goodberry, gimme gimme the goodberry." The GM thinks it's hilarious to have this character show up during the middle of encounters we're struggling at and start jerking off magic everywhere.
But the worst part is his chant. He wanders around chanting his name, so when he's about to show up the GM will start low;
Tee-hee-hee, Maccaroni Maccaroni
Tee-hee-hee, Maccaroni Maccaroni
And then get louder and louder until he's fucking shouting
TEE HEE HEE, MACCARONI MACCARONI!
TEE HEE HEE, MACCARONI MACCARONI!
And the table loves it! The other guys I play with think this is the best shit! Teehee Maccaroni has been our table's de-facto inside joke, our signature "running gag" for six years now. When that chant starts up, everyone else joins in like a ritual; the whole table is expected to start chanting "TEE HEE HEE, MACCARONI MACCARONI" by the end, and every fucking time I refuse because this is some embarrassing circa-2002 Penguin of Doom shit, it's always the same thing; "There goes user again! No fun allowed around user! Anon's just a big grouch who's getting angry because we're making him touch Teehee Maccaroni's penis again! Why won't you just let us have fun with this character, he's just here for dumb fun, you stick-in-the mud!"
These motherfuckers are all over 25 years old.
Teehee Maccaroni is going to be the death of me.

For Faerun there is no insect god other than this in Dragon #54 "Cults of the beast"; a demigod of insect swarms with a name like the sound of a swarm. I don't know about other settings.
>>
NNUUURRRR'C'C' (master of the insect swarm) "King with Wings"
Demigod
ARMOR CLASS: -2
MOVE: 12"/48"
HIT POINTS: 300
NO. OF ATTACKS: 2
DAMAGE/ATTACK: 4-40
SPECIAL ATTACKS: Poison
SPECIAL DEFENSES: Fear aura
MAGIC RESISTANCE: 15%
SIZE: L (40' tall)
ALIGNMENT: Neutral
WORSHIPPER'S ALIGN: Neutral (insects)
SYMBOL: Mosquito
PLANE: Demi-plane of insects
CLERIC/DRUID: Nil
FIGHTER: 18th level fighter
MAGIC-USER/ILLUSIONIST: Nil
THIEF/ASSASSIN: Nil
MONK/BARD: Nil
PSIONIC ABILITY: Nil
S: 25 I: 10 W: 3 D: 20 C: 25 CH: -6
This giant mosquito with a wing span of 140 feet would fill any being with horror. It hates to be summoned; there is a 55% chance that it will do what the summoner asks and then attempt to kill him or her. Beings of less than 8th level will run in fear from it as if affected by a fear spell (no saving throw).
Any creature hit by its proboscis must save vs. poison at -4 or die instantly. Even if the victim saves, it will suffer 4-40 points of damage (blood drain).
While this being has few human worshipers, all insect races do it homage.
from Deities and Demigods
>>
There is also a neutral demigod called Apshai mentioned on Hallowed Ground and in other books, Cagn (Mantis) (Kaggen) a CN african-themed god from Dragon issue 215

Yet another fool claims to have decoded the Voynich manuscript, /tg/.
https://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/public/voynich-manuscript-solution/
This one claims it's a medieval medical text with lots of abbreviations that everyone educated in the field at the time would have understood no problem. This, of course, does not explain why we've never seen said abbreviations anywhere else, or why it's taken us this long to decipher the text.
So, let's discuss what the Voynich manuscript actually is.
