SLA Industries RPG Announcement

Station Analysis Report 1 - November 2003

Hi folks,

Welcome to the first of the monthly SLA Industries Status Reports.

Here at Nightfall HQ we are planning on writing up progress reports to be
mailed to the SLA Industries Fan List (Station Analysis
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) as well as to be circulated around
news sites, etc. So please feel free to forward these posts to people or
sites that may be interested in finding out what we're up too!

The aim of these reports is to keep you all updated with the progress and
news on SLA Industries itself and the companies supporting it. So without
further ado let's start wetting your appetite for the future....

----------

PUBLISHERS

SLA's been through two of the biggest and most respected publishers in the
RPG Industry during it's ten year lifespan. It's safe to say that without
the support that both Wizards of the Coast and Hogshead Publishing showed
the game during its time with them the game might not be around today. When
James Wallis decided to bow out of the RPG industry and sell Hogshead
Publishing on the license to publish SLA Industries reverted back to
Nightfall Games Limited. We had been given a heads up from James a few
months in advance of the final closure so had time to start thinking about
the games future.

At the same time as SLA was returning to Nightfall Dave Allsop (SLA's
creator) and myself (Angus Abranson) were in the process of starting up a
new publishing company called Cubicle 7 Entertainment. It was our aim to use
Cubicle 7 to publish some new ideas that we, and others, had floating around
in development as well as translating some of the best foreign language
games into English and supporting some existing well-known brands through
third-party publishing licenses. We've been working on building up the
company and it's first years worth of releases for the best part of twelve
months and now, finally, have all of cogs oiled and in place.

It was decided that the best vehicle to promote SLA Industries would be
Cubicle 7 Entertainment. Especially as this way Dave can take the reins as
Line Developer on SLA and help give everyone the nightmares they deserve. We
(Cubicle 7) are fully committed to taking SLA Industries into the future and
are looking forward to building the game where Wizards of the Coast and
Hogshead left off.

RELEASE SCHEDULE

We are planning on releasing a series of books starting with Hunter Sheets
Issue 1 in late Spring 2004. What follows are tasters of each of the titles
currently planned for a 2004 release. More about estimated release dates,
page counts, prices, etc will appear in future Station Analysis Reports and
we hope to bring you previews of some of the artwork when the website is
fully up and running (which should be by the end of the year).

HUNTER SHEETS: Issue 1

Hunter Sheets focuses on 20 of the prominent SLA subversives operating in
the World of Progress, ranging from the lethal rival company agents like
Sniper D - an undefeated Dark Night Assassin, to the notorious Shian Blood
Cultist - Elliot Raik. GMs will find detailed backgrounds, game stats and
how to utilize these villains in game. Hunter Sheets also includes stats on
new equipment, powers and the first Conflict Alien race to reemerge in the
SLA Universe - The Krell.

CANNIBAL SECTOR ONE SOURCEBOOK

The CS One sourcebook is an extensive guide to one of the most dangerous
regions on the whole of Mort. Inside you'll find extended background and
descriptions of all its colorful inhabitants - Cannibal Clans, Carrien, and
the Scavs.

CS One also talks about the sectors size and the important landmarks
Operatives can explore. Players can get the new option to play Sleeper
Shivers, or if the GM is feeling especially cruel, there are rules for
running SLA Industries newest division - Cannibal Sector Operatives. Other
highlights include a whole collection of insects and vermin exclusive to CS
One, and range of horrid diseases that even Ebb Healers will have trouble
curing.

SLA INDUSTRIES WORLD GUIDE 1 - JACINTO

The first in a series of short World Books exploring civilizations,
cultures, flora and fauna on SLA owned planets. We're kicking off with the
Resource World Jacinto ( also known as 'Red Hell'). Widely regarded as a top
safari venue for Contract Hunters, Jacinto is heavily populated with a wide
variety of exotic (and deadly!) animals.

This supplement gives stats and background material for Razorheads, Vitchers
and Nariks, which are mentioned briefly in Contract Directory.

SLA INDUSTRIES WORLD GUIDE 2 - XAIME

Xaime is an Industrial/War World on the outer rim of the World Of Progress.
For centuries it has been violent battleground for the forces of SLA
Industries and Thresher Inc., but now the planet's original inhabitants have
returned to reclaim it - The Krell.

WHITE EARTH

This book covers the most terrifying world in the SLA Universe. The D-Notice
has finally been lifted, the truth uncovered. White Earth will explain its
history, origins and its eternal prisoner - Bitterness.

Also included are extensive rules about how to run a White Earth campaign,
the planets impact on the World of Progress and all other information
pertaining to the Truth, which Slayer has struggled to keep, hidden over the
centuries.

White Earth will be like nothing SLA fans will have seen before.

That's all for this month. If you would like to contact us please direct
your emails to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Until next month, Stay SLA!
