Career

Dan Gelber had created an RPG design about a computer-controlled world of dystopic adventure called "Alpha Complex" that he ran for his local group, and Gelber's friend Greg Costikyan and Eric Goldberg approached Gelber about turning the setting into a professional product.[1]:186 Gelber gave Goldberg and Costikyan his notes for the game and they turned those ideas into a complete manuscript.[1]:186 Gelber, Costikyan , and Goldberg licensed Paranoia to West End Games, and Ken Rolston helped rewrite the rules before it was published in 1984.[1]:187

Gelber also designed (with Jeffrey Simons and Evan Jones) The Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game.[2]

gollark: All recent computers have extra computers inside them, which have their own probably-basically-unaudited firmware with access to some critical system component or other.
