Physical Copies of the Rule Book and GM Screen are Available on our Site: https://store.nightfall.games/sla-industries-rpg.html

In the World of Progress, the corporation SLA Industries rules all. Employing Operatives to enforce, extend and maintain their power base, SLA controls a multitude of worlds - industrial, franchise and resource - with planet Mort at its core. As Operatives execute the company’s will, new threats emerge through the cracks of the city walls, turning Downtown into a battleground.

You, the SLA Operative, are fighting for fame and fortune against a backdrop of a crumbling reality. Operatives feed the always-on televisions with a gaudy media of wall-to-wall death and dismemberment. Operative life is all about climbing the corporate ladder and earning sponsorship deals and notoriety along the way.

SLA Industries Product Page 2nd EditionHeader

The full-colour 224-page Tabletop Roleplaying Game uses Nightfall Games' S5S rules system and updates the 1st Edition setting as years have passed on Mort since then. The newly arrived Neophron signals a shift in the balance of the universe, as the scholarly species joins the ranks of SLA Industries. Sending their brightest to train as Operatives, they serve alongside Ebonites, Shaktars, Wraithen and Humans.

Dream Entities claw at the fabric of reality, dredging up nightmares. Elsewhere, the Shi’An Blood Cult rises, corrupting the disenfranchised masses of Mort to its cause and unleashing the horrors from White Earth into an unsuspecting world. As SLA Industries battles to reclaim the Cannibal Sectors outside, Operatives are forced to deal with problems within the city walls more so than ever before...and below, the Deep Construct awakens.

SLA Industries 2nd Edition Rulebook

Expore the World of SLA Industries

Introduction: Beginning with a terminology for the World of Progress, the Introduction also covers those aligned against SLA Industries before covering what roleplaying games are, a brief history of SLA Industries (the TTRPG, not the corporation), before summarizing how to play the game and what is needed for it.

Halloween Jack on the Prowl

History: Twenty-one pages of highly detailed history, from before before SLA Industries created the World of Progress up through 915 years of history. The history is broken out by century, followed by important events that occurred during each one.

The World of Progress: This chapter details the setting, beginning with the Planet Mort before drilling down more and more, before ending up at Mort City. Each neighborhood in the city is covered, along with points of interest and getting around on in the city. After that, the chapter covers the World of Progess itself, which is a catchall term for all SLA controlled space: seven different types of worlds are described, as well as what lies beyond SLA Industries' borders and space travel. A handful of specific worlds round out the chapter.

Operative Hours: All about playing a SLA Operative. From how they're recruited, where they tend to live, to Blueprint New Files "BPNs," which are jobs for Operatives to take to earn a living as a successful freelancer. SLA Industries itself is detailed within this chapter, breaking out and describing various departments and their individual responsibilities. This chapter, combing with the preceding two, provide all the necessary background information needed for a player to immerse themselves in the World of Progress.

Character Creation: Walks Players through character creation, beginning with selecting one of the nine playable species before assigning points on stats. Skills and traits follow, with movement and finally equipment brining up the rear.

Rules and Mechanics: Introduces Nightfall Games' S5S rules system and quicklu gets down to business with the different types of rolls needed in the game. Combat follows and as that section ends with rules on damage, it only makes sense that health and healng follows. Improving one's Operative comes next, followed by several other sections to fully round out the game mechanics.

The Ebb: This chapter provides information on a form of energy that underpins the world of SLA Industries. Understood only by the Ebonites and a few ancient species, the chapter begins with what the Ebb is and how it is used, before providing the rules of using it in game. The various "disciplines" that users of the Ebb specialize in finish the chapter.

Hardware: Melee Weapons. Ranged Weapons. Things that go Boom! Hardware consists of over 30 pages detailing the weapons, armor, vehicles, and equipment in general.

Threat Analysis: Formed in 905sd, the Threat Analysis department identifies and disseminates information on any and all threats. The chapter begins with known threats, before veering off to discuss those that are more dangerous and/or subtle. The histories of many of the World of Progress enemies are provided here, as well as stat blocks and special equipment and how each group/villain operates.

The Web of Lies: Detailing the various methods used by SLA Industries to communicate with their Operatives, from BPNs to Hunter Sheets, this chapter covers how to run a game in the World of Progress. Creating NPCs, awarding (and spending) experience points, and what to do when not on a gig is also covered.

Index: It's a pretty standard index. A blank character sheet, NPC stat block, BPNs, and a Hunter sheet can also be found in this section.

I am admittedly WAY late to the party on this but SLA is very much my jam and started it's life along with some of my other favorite games from my early teens. I've introduced a good number of people to it now and we are getting ready to start up a campaign.

I do have one complaint though. The 2e book while great doesn't do the reader who is new to the universe a lot of favors when it comes to trying to keep straight all the wide variety of locations, organizations, and people in relation to one another or the world itself. The big ticket items are reasonably easy to keep straight but there are seemingly random mentions of less common organizations, people, and places that are hard if possible at all to keep track of in reference to where they lay in the story or even geographically. Is there a repository somewhere that lays these snakes straight and makes them easier to understand?

Some questions about Stormers:

I have a couple of players who want to play Stormers (Malice and Xeno, respectively) and I got a little confused about something.

Are Stormers exclusively trained at the Karma labs or do they ever actually attend Meny?

The book mentions 313's train for 7 years but does not specify how long 711's train for (and the Insight bit in their section makes it sound like it's not nearly as long). Do they both train for 7 years?

They are made and trained at Karma and then those that will become Operative are trained at Meny

Hey, Nightfall.

Is the GM Pack (not the Art Pack) coming to DriveThru in PDF form?

I got the core rulebook but found the GM chapter unfortunately anemic.
Even as a "veteran" GM, I would have loved to see an example scenario or "adventure", some tips about game balance (what kind of challenges are appropriate for starting characterts, etc) and what you guys envision an average SLA Industries session looks like.

I'm really hooked on this and would have loved to see more.

Is the PDF version “searchable”? Will I be able to search single words or sentences or the PDF version is a scanned-like book?

Yes, it will be available in retail stores, as long as they order them from distribution. Amazon again depends on a webstore picking it up from distribution.

You can always buy it direct from https://store.nightfall.games/ if you want it delivered from the UK.

A few days ago, I caused a bit of a stink here. The thread was since removed, which is a good thing because I did, in fact, misrepresent some important facets of the setting which I will not mention due to spoiler reasons.
All I want to offer is my heartfelt apology. After having read the book, I think I now have an inkling what you are going for and I am really looking forward to further info.
Again, I am sorry.
Also, everyone interested, please do consider buying the book, it's worth the read at the very least.

You may find -a lot- of creatures and NPCs in Cannibal Sector 1 book. Some of them can be encountered in Mort City so it's useful not just for cannibal sectors.

If you're interested in serial killers, rogue operatives, and cultists, check out Hunter Sheets (conversion docs are available for Issue Two but you may convert Issue One yourself pretty easily). HS contains some really cool contracts and memorable targets.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
