SLA Industries Core Rule Book - RPG of Futuristic Urban Horror NightFall Games

Description: S.L.A. Industries The Roleplaying Game of Futuristic Urban Horror Core Rule book From the back of the book: On Mort, the rain never stops. This is the black jewel in the rotten crown of the World of Progress, where serial murder, empty style, corporate treachery and prime-time violence are top career options. The heart of SLA Industries, Mr. Slayer's office building dominates SLA corporate HT, set in the gleaming splendor of the district known as Central. Only SLA's corporate employees and Operatives can be found here. Elsewhere, criminal gangs, maniacs and nervous civilians scuttle through the filthy, labyrinthine streets of Downtown and the revolting spaces beneath. Outside the city walls lurk the hellish Cannibal Sectors, terrifying areas of devastation packed with deadly inhabitants. For you, the Operative, it's just like the adverts. You're a hero, a media darling, saving the world and living the golden life of hedonism and fame. But that means following Mr. Slayer's Big Picture and oh, what a picture it is. Life is so "pleasant" for most people that SLA has employed you as part of its special troubleshooting forces. There are millions of you in Mort City alone, elite agents trusted to make sure that everything runs smoothly, and the Company isn't... embarrassed. The capital of SLA Industries is resplendent in its decaying glory, a planet where a struggle to survive is the only way of living. Life is cheap here, but knowledge will cost you more than you can imagine. Guns kill, but so does the truth. 　 SLA Industries is a dark, futuristic horror game set in a universe of crushing oppression and media manipulation. As special agents for the company, the characters must outwit serial killers, street gangs, terrorist rivals and Internal Affairs while making sure that things run smoothly... whatever the cost. 　 SLA Industries is designed to support many different styles of play. As an Operative, a lot of options are open to you: Horror. Although you’re skilled and well-equipped, you’ll be isolated and often outclassed on - and below - the streets. Monsters, maniacs and monitors can all take down an entire squad without blinking, and evil has a master-plan... Unexplained supernatural menaces, hideous abominations, unseen stalkers and horribly tortured civilians will test your nerves to breaking point. Action. Sometimes, your enemies will actually present a clear target. You might find your squad running sweep-n-clean in a hostage situation, in a frantic sewers battle with a pack of carriens, shooting it out with Dark Night, or going hand-to-hand with a serial killer. Either way, it’ll be fast and deadly. Revelation. SLA Industries is not particularly benevolent, and many of the things you’re instructed to do will feed your taste for power but sap your soul - evicting the elderly out onto the streets so a housing block can become a casino, for example. In time, you may come to doubt. The Truth hidden by SLA Industries could bring the company down forever... but at what bitter cost? Where will you go to learn about White Earth? Contract Killer. Constantly on camera, with lives made up of enemies, cool equipment, gorgeous clothes and little green Hunter Sheets, ‘Killers are the superheroes of SLA Industries that every kid wants to grow up to become. Your ‘Killer won’t be doing BPNs like those other saps - you’ll be finding and taking out subversives, fighting other ‘Killers to the death for the cameras, and making sure your sponsors get good airtime. Once you become known, you’ll find yourself immersed in a lethal world of fame and glamour where the booze and drugs are yours for the taking, and there’s eager babes and hunks ‘round every corner desperate to screw you, kill you, or both. If you survive your first week, that is. Street-level. If you fancy a real challenge, why not play as a civilian gang-member? You only get half the character creation points, cash in unis, no advantages/disadvantages, and you have to be human, but it can be fun going up against the Shivers, running scams and deals, defending your turf from other gangers, and generally being one of the bad boys. Cognate. For a truly dark playing experience, the group can take the role of a cognate of serial killers (generated more or less as usual). As one of the monsters, you’ll have a chance to explore your own dark side. Outwitting the Ops, stalking prey, and just surviving on the streets is a real challenge. 　 The political world can be just as deadly as the streets. Competition within SLA’s ranks - between departments, rival sub-companies and even colleagues - is fierce, and you’ll be the target of endless intrigue, as your fellows do everything they can to bring you down, while defending themselves from your maneuvers. Mr. Slayer applauds the use of all sorts of political techniques to get ahead - including murder - just so long as you don’t get caught. Operative, Employee, Contract Killer, Necanthrope, Ebon, Biogenetic, Corporate. These are the lifestyles available to you when you enter the SLA Industries World of Progress. Society is split between truth and deception, conflict and political subversion's, style and humor, Television and Insanity. Fighting for your life as an oblivious public watches on, awaiting your last breath between adverts. The Media channels all of the young hopefuls into their vessels. Nihilism as a way of life. Strive for originality in a world of outrage and conformity and diversity. The different get noticed, the truly original survive. The Big picture rewards the loyal. Be true to yourself. Survive. The truth awaits the inquisitive. Guns kill but so does the truth. 　 Features: The World of Progress Operative Hours Mort Game System Character Generation The Power of the Ebb The Flow of the Ebb Hardware Company Rivals Fame and Fortune Character Sheets and GM Aids Full, Complete Index SLA Industries Quick Start Introduction Two pounds + (1.0kg) of great Role Playing 　 Produced by Nightfall Games Ltd.
