Hasn't worked for me. The little tiny red one next to the name works fine, but the large white snow one doesn't work. if its browser differences, I'm on firefox.

I do it because I like that feeling. I enjoy the feeling of freezing my ass off.

Ah, that would be because we're on a different theme. I will tweak it at some point.

My gaming group switched from D&D to Paranoia tonight. Spent about an hour and a half rolling up characters and getting everyone introduced to the bare basics of the game and world, then off we went. The game really works wonderfully with people who barely know what they are doing, really helps them connect to their troubleshooter. Manage to fit five amusing injuries, 3 deaths, and 8 cases of backstabbing into the remaining 2 hours we had to play. Next session should start off entertainingly enough as they are about to enter the most dangerous part of any mission (except perhaps the debriefing), being strong armed into testing experimental equipment by R&D.
Mutant seeking missile system
Hard case backpack that straps securely to the wearer (requires help to get on or off)
R&D have lost the notes, have no idea what it's suppose to do
Mission: Find out device's purpose
Upon detecting the use of a mutant power the MSMS emit's a loud alarm "Mutant mutant mutant!", panels on the case pop open and launch a salvo of missiles (M3K) that track the mutant (roll against 15), anything his/her power has touched (against 12), and anything generating energy (against 10). Anyone nearby an impact is subjected to shrapnel (against 8, W3K).
Smart Gun
Hip mounted high energy laser with self targeting muzzle (W2K). Comes with hip stabilizer, targeting sensor, and bot brain. Has touch screen.
Mission: Test and return in working condition.
Upon pulling the trigger the gun requires 1 round to scan for targets, then begins firing at anything it determines to be a threat, picking target order by threat level. Will continue to fire until all threats are eliminated or it runs out of ammo, even if trigger is released.
Malfunction: Bot brain marks user as a threat, 1 round to fix.
Anti-Gravity Boots
A pair of bulky boots with wires running to a control pad that clips to the front of the user's overalls. The boots allow the wearer to float in the air.
Mission: Test and return
The boots allow the wearer to float, however the height must be entered manually into the keypad, and the boots attain the entered height as quickly as possible. No side to side control options, and a successful violence check is needed to remain upright.
Grappler
A bulky exo-skeleton contraption that fits over the user's arm. Contains a grabber claw, launcher, and spool of cable. Has three buttons.
Mission: Test and return
Button one: Fires claw
Button two: retracts cable
Button three: opens claw
R&D will neglect to explain which button does what.
If used as a weapon does S4K damage
Cable retracts dangerously fast and is strong enough to lift an autocar.

That's another one I'd like to get back to.

It's an awesome game, I never have so much fun GMing as I do with Paranoia.
Is it too evil to give the MSMS to the team's registered mutant?

Well, my wife and I had a car accident today. Nothing serious for us, or anyone else involved physically, but it will probably end up writing off the car. We where travelling down a main road behind a very erratic driver so we kept a good distance. Then he slowed and stopped so we stopped about 100 yards behind him. He then put the car in reverse and drove rapidly backwards. He hit our bumper on the near side and then scrapped down the wing, passenger door and ended up behind us! That's quite a feat given we started in the same lane as him. We got his details and some eye witnesses on our side now all we have to do is deal with the insurance people.

Yup, he drove backwards down a a main road to get to a road he had just passed. We honked our horn at least three times but he still kept coming. He says he only passed his test two days ago.
Glad you and your wife are okay though Ian.
Thanks, we're fine.
