Career
Dan Gelber designed his own role-playing game about a dystopic world controlled by a computer called "Alpha Complex" and ran adventures using this game for his local group.: 186 In this game which Gelber designed, the player characters were called "Plaukers" by the non-player characters, and these player characters often undercut and upstaged each other. Gelber was a friend of Greg Costikyan who approached Gelber with Eric Goldberg to get the setting published.: 186 Gelber gave Goldberg and Costikyan his notes for the game and they used those ideas to complete a full manuscript for a game.: 186 Gelber, Costikyan, and Goldberg licensed this Paranoia game to West End Games, and Ken Rolston helped rewrite the rules before it was published in 1984.: 187
Gelber also designed (with Jeffrey Simons and Evan Jones) The Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game.
