Has anyone considered creating a campaign set in the 1984 setting?
I'd imagine it would be very heavy into rollplaying and insta pk due to the thought police which might not be everyones piece of cake.
I've been mulling it over and i remember that the glossary mentioned that the insoc gov't eventually fell so i can give players a fair chance at survival.
Tl;dr help me create a 1984 campaign.

Also, if anyone has links they can reccomend on everyday life under a dictatorship that would be welcome.
I mean, if you play Paranoia full on seriously (which is a thing if I recall correctly) it comes pretty close I guess. Not sure if there's a 1984 specific setting/rulebook floating about in the PDF share thread, or even in existence.
If you dug a bit into independent news sources you'd find you're already playing one.

Those poor, innocent communistic terrorists.
Ingsoc did not fail. Gather entire point ton of the book was that it was the only form of govt. that was invulnerable.
Fuck, I cannot find it. OP I have a one page 1984 RPG, I don't have it on this device and I can't find it online. Send an email to tenduril at gmail.com requesting it and I'll email it when I get home, it's legit, has quotes for the book all over it.

"Paranoia Straight" was one of the suggested playstyles (alongside with "Classic" and "Zap!") in Mongoose version.

Do a lot of research on the inner workings of North Korea, and to a lesser extent Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

To answer your question, I would not play this game.
