Be
warned,
hidden deepin the heart ofthe
famili~loving,
happy
;}\}pha Comp ex we!mow,
is
another
Complex,
a shadow Complex
which
exists
jusi out
of sight of clones, and in
front of the
very
monitors of
The
Computer.
Though
this may seem
like
the
Alpha
Complex
you
know,
it is not.
It
is
a Complex
that
is
dumber, more primitive,
and, dare we
say
it,
less happy
than the
blissful
corridors
ofour
own.
It
is
but the dark reflection of the true Alpha, and the mirror
is
kind
of spotty
because the
scrubots
are on the fritz again.
Open these
pages,
and enter that locale.
It is
truly
a Complex ofDimness ....

Creatures of

is an adventure
(and
some
source
material) for
Paranoia: The Fifth Edi-
tion,
just
like
it
says
on the cover. Read
the
adven-
tures beforehand and decide if
you want
to put your
gaming group through
them.
Then, make up the
props,
photocopy or cut out the pre-generated charac-
ters,
give them to the players and start

Anything

a field weapon,

A Few C"an
qes
Creatures
of
the
Nightcycle
is not
your standard
Paranoia
adventure. All that
{EXPLETIVE
DE-
LETED FOR SECURITY REASONS}
about
the Com-
plex of Dimness actually means that you're going to
have to read the adventure before
you
run it.
It's
got
a lot
of
new
stuff
inside--new mutant vampclone
powers, new
secret societies,
and a
slightly
different
idea
ofhow things work in Alpha Complex.
As
always,
fnfroducf~on
you're free to change anything
you
want. Add more jokes, more gags, parody
some movies we haven't
seen yet,
or take out anything you don't like. Nosferat-
U isn't watching and reporting how
badly
you tore asunder the
fruits
of our
endeavors, our poetical
expression
of the depths of our souls. Trust
us.

Pre-Generated Prayer CF,aracfers
Creatures of
the Nightcycle
can
be
played with
either
on-going characters
(Huh?
You
don't
go
through a
six-pack
per session?), ones created for the
occasion, or with the pre-generated ones we provided.
If
you use
the
pregens,
photocopy the
character sheets
as many times as you need. The pregens' names
are
mention in the
"Sample
Dialogues" written to give
you
an idea ofhow a given
episode
might run with
players
trying to stay in character
and
yet
be funny. So
don't get thrown
when
reading and say
"Who
the
soot is this
Mask-R-ADE
person?" Relax. It's only a Troubleshooter, and he's probably more scared of you
than you
are of him.
