SLA Industries: Red Letter Day
It is little over an hour before Mr Slayer is due to make his Progress Day speech as you play one of five departmental heads rushed to an unprecedented crisis control meeting:- Dr Ernest Strand, Head of Biogenetics (Karma) - Commander Cradle, Head of the Shivers - Ms S Littlejohn, Head of Presss & Publicity (3ird Eye) - Mr Alexander Xavis, Head of Cloak Division - Preceptor Teeth, Head of Ebb (Dark Lament)As events unfold in real time there is only one question left to ask:Is SLA Industries too big to fall?Although we haven't started scheduling our RPGs as yet I just had to let you all know about this one. It's being written and run by regular Conpulsion GM Keith Fyans & Alex McGivern and without giving too much a way a lot of work is going into it and it really does look like something special.Oh, and I'm also told that the first person to pre-reg with a promise of coming in costume gets to play Preceptor Teeth.
