Call of Alpha Complex Interest Check

My idea: Combine the flavors of two classic role playing games, Paranoia and Call of Cthulu. In the story, you are trouble shooters for Alpha Complex (Paranoia) except the trouble you are assigned involves citizens calling on the powers of the Old Ones (Call of Cthulu).

My plan: Take the light homebrew I've used twice successfully in this forum and tweak it to add a fifth stat (Sanity) with associated skills to the existing four stats (Violence, Mechanics, Brains, Chutzpah). You'd have Sanity Points, in addition to your health stat. If all your clones die or if your sanity drops below one, your character is eliminated from the mission.

Fair warning: Even if there is interest in this, I may not be able to actually start G Ming for awhile. The job I have is seasonal and, while it usually slows down during late fall and winter I currently am still working overtime more days then not. If someone else likes this idea and wants to GM it, you have my full blessing.

My question: Would anyone actually be interested in playing this?

If we could use our good old Alpha Complex Characters? Yes.

If not? Still yes.

High interest.

Ah, sounds fun but I'd have to skip out on this round. Go for it, though!

All the interest. All of it.

Silence: Yes, I'd be glad to have you onboard, as your character. You will have to update your character since I will be adding new skills to the original sixteen.

Your character will be 'orange' clearance, while any new players will be starting as 'red' clearance.
