Editing Paranoia (role-playing game) (section)

===1st edition===
'''1st edition'''{{efn| {{ISBN|978-0-87431-025-2}} }} was written by [[Greg Costikyan]], Dan Gelber, and [[Eric Goldberg (game designer)|Eric Goldberg]], and published in 1984 by West End Games. In 1985, this edition of ''Paranoia ''won the [[Origins Award]] for ''Best Roleplaying Rules of 1984''.<ref name="origins 1984" /> This edition, while encouraging dark humour in-game, took a fairly serious dystopian tone; the supplements and adventures released to accompany it emphasised the lighter side, however, establishing the freewheeling mix of slapstick, intra-team backstabbing and satire that is classically associated with a game of ''Paranoia''.
