A little-known Tabletop RPG from early 1993, Pandemonium! took us outside our nice comfortable world...All those things you read about supermarket tabloids? Backwoods lake monsters, alien abductions, Elvis sightings, they're all true. The players control Paranormal Investigators, or rather reporters for one such rag, The Weekly Weird News, after attaining Enlightenment. Besides simply being able to accept all the bizarre events most people write off as hooey, becoming Enlightened allows people access to unusual abilities like walking through walls and clairvoyance, as well as being able to call up the abilities of who they were in past lives. With these abilities the players are sent to investigate everything from bigfoot sightings to secret conspiracies.Sadly the game found little support from the gaming public and was shuttered after the release of the rulebook and a single booklet containing premade adventures. Not to be confused with the 1982 Movie of the same name, nor the PlayStation 1 series of games of the same title, or the Books of Pandemonium. Or, you know, that place... | |

Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious | |
| Pandemonium! (1993) (Tabletop Game) / int_330ef176 | comment |
Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious: Naturally, many an adventure can be woven around having the players investigate the activities of one cryptid or another. There's even a power in the game, Cryptozoology, that allows a player to identify evidence of one. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Pandemonium! (1993) (Tabletop Game) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: Since the game's going for humor, if a player dies, their character undergoes reincarnation and the abilities they had as their old character become abilities they can access as their new character by recalling the past life. | |

Reincarnation | |
| Pandemonium! (1993) (Tabletop Game) / int_50f5dabe | comment |
Reincarnation: Everyone has a past life and can try to summon it up to make use of its special abilities (such as making rousing speeches as Abraham Lincoln or advanced mathematics as Albert Einstein). If a character dies, they're reincarnated and can do this with the abilities of the character they'd previously had. Villains have past lives too, but ones like Hitler, Ted Bundy and Richard Nixon. | |

The Masquerade: Although it's achieved by most people having a particular state of mind which prevents them from believing in paranormal phenomena, which can be alleviated through alien technology or psychic occurrences. If a player loses their Englightenment, they stop believing in all the weird stuff. | |

Collector of the Strange: Collectors are a specific type of NPC, and "Collecting" (the ability to recognize, assess the value of, and locate the collector's specific obsession) is a possible special ability. Collectors are, for the most part, harmless, and may be willing to help the players if provided new items for their collection. | |

Past-Life Memories | |
| Pandemonium! (1993) (Tabletop Game) / int_cd9d3d92 | comment |
Past-Life Memories: A power players would have was to recall the abilities of someone famous they'd been in a past life, which would give them basically an infallible superpower for the ten minutes this lasted at a time (Einstein's mathematical genius, for instance, Bruce Lee's martial arts skills, or the Three Stooges' ability to take no lasting damage from all the comedic whoopings they went through). If a player's character dies, that character becomes a past life whose abilities they can access with their next character. | |
