Allen Varney

Writer and game designer based in Austin, Texas. I've published eight books, three boardgames, two dozen tabletop roleplaying game supplements, 300 articles and columns, the 2004 edition of the PARANOIA RPG, and over 75 articles for the online gaming magazine The Escapist. I co-wrote the original design doc and co-created the plot for the Nintendo Wii videogame "Disney's Epic Mickey."

My new venture, Ultraviolet Books, offers all-new official ebook novels based on PARANOIA. The first three novels and an introductory anthology are available now for the Kindle family:

- my novel "Stay Alert" (Book T1 of the trilogy "The Troubleshooter Rules")

- Gareth Hanrahan's novel S1 "Reality Optional"

- WJ MacGuffin's novel Y1 "Traitor Hangout"

- A1 "The Computer is Your Friend," with stories by all three writers
