DRUG CONVERSIONS FROM PARANOIA
compiled by Gary Astleford |

West End Games' Paranoia is a game of dark comedy in an equally dark future. The society presented in the game is controlled by a powerful computer that everyone (at least publicly) obeys. One of the many tools used to control the Computer's legion of servants is, of course, drugs. Several of these drugs would be perfect for the CP2020 environment, so I converted them over using my Drug Lab. Most of them are nasty and, of course, addictive. Bon appetit!
Asperquaint, "Tireless Servant of the Computer" (Acute Paranoia, pg 8)
Keeps the subject awake, even after many hours without sleep. Users have a gung ho, can-do attitude, and are super enthusiastic. May cause tremors, weakness, and memory loss once it wears off.
