OK guys, Pyxidragon and I have been tossing around the idea of running you on a different game. Its a great twisted sci fi game called SLA Industries. Pyxi, myself and Korwin are what you would call 'intimately knowledgeable' about the game as we have been playing it for well.... a while. Its my personal favorite and I'm sure Pyxi and Korwin rate it pretty highly too. If we were to play it you would get a very complete rundown of the universe before you play so you will have a good idea what your getting in to. My question to you is.

Would you?

A. Want to put the Vampire game on hold, in order to try out the new game.

B. Play both simultaneously.

C. Play the Vampire game exclusively for a while longer.

The game play would be the same. No rules just story. But this game would be much more combat oriented. I also want to give new players a chance to get in on this one too. If you want in on a game, (Nova! I know your a role player!) This is the time!
 
before i vote...can we find out about this mystery universe first? i'd like to know a little more
 
Well... you've gone and done it... and the flood gates opened and the world was covered in the deluge.



OK here goes.

Its the future... or the past.... or an alternate demension or some twisted dream or something we don't rightly know. The universe is in chaos. War rages on thousands of worlds with no end in sight. Then a man, or zombie, or some twisted demon god, we don't rightly know, named Slayer comes. Slayer is a businessman of epic proportions. He comes with a solution to the war, he supplies the armies of the thousands of worlds with warriors, to give them the "Upper Hand" These warriors were called Stormers. They are huge bio engineered killing machines. They are humanoid beasts with huge jaws and muscles like iron bands. They are sold to the warring planets. (At a hefty fee) and the new armies are sent to war, but before the battles can begin the stormers turn on their masters, because, their true master is Mr. Slayer. Slayer takes over **** near everything and starts what he calls, "The World of Progress"

A new age of 'peace' reigns. Slayer controls the "World of Progress" and builds the capitol of it on a world called Mort. And funny enough the capitol city is also called Mort. The game takes place mostly in this city.

"The World of Progress" is run by the ultra massive corporation SLA Industries, its CEO is Mr. Slayer. He is also sort of a defacto god. You play operatives of SLA, also known as Ops. You do the dirty jobs for the company, you run errands, clean the sewers, run crowd control and oh yeah, kill lots and lots and lots and lots of people. (If violence isn't your thing then this is not the right game for you. Hell in this game you can make a valid career out of murder)

There are various races you can play

Human (I shouldn't have to explain this)

Stormer: Stormers are bio engineered monsters. They usually lack social skills, most of the time they are just the hammer and the anvil.

There are a few types of stormers. They come in quite a few flavors in fact. All designated by numbers.

The standard 313 stormers are the work horse. Big mean and ugly

The Chagrin stormers are bigger meaner and uglier. They come with tusks and a bad attitude. They are the tanks of the stormer world

Next are Xeno stormers. They are the scouts. Skinny alien looking things with hundreds of bug like eyes. They can go invisible and see in pitch black.

Then there are the more subtle stormers. The succubus stormer is well... the name says it all they are sexy, they look just like humans and emit pheromones to seduce you.

Then there are Vevaphones. They are a truly scary ones. They are shapeshifers. They can take any form the same size as their body, they can sprout blades and spikes and are usually very very mentally unstable.

OK that enough stormers.

Next you have the aliens.

Wraithraider: They are humanoid cat like people who come from cold climates. They are consummate hunters and trackers and a very good scout/sniper. They are fast and agile. Their most distinguishing factor is the full body coolant suit they must ware to live in the more temperate climates.

Shaktar: Cross a Klingon and the predator alien and bam you've got a Shaktar. They have a strict honor system. They look like huge red humaniod lizards with dreadlocks and mandibles.

Ebons/Brainwasters: Truly these two are the same race. They are beings who's life and power stem from pure emotion. They wield the power of Ebb. Ebb can do lots and lots and lots of different things. The Ebons are the bright shiney people of the race and the Brainwasters are, well, assholes. They ware what is called a death suit. Deathsuits are living organisms that provide armor and channel the Ebon/Waster's power. Physically they look almost exactly like humans, the only difference is the hair is generally some wacky color, Blue/red/green whatever, and the eyes are a solid color, no pupils. The difference between a Waster and an Ebon, besides demeanor is that Wasters have scorch marks all around their eyes.

Finally there are Frothers.

Everyone loves a Frother. Take the biggest rowdiest Scotsman you've ever seen, give him a beer and ALLOT of combat drugs and you have a Frother. They are human, barely.

There are other things you can play but they are rare.

OK your an Op! There are different kind of Ops. You are trained it whats called a package. Those packages are.

Strike: The basics, well rounded, you are good at most things but don't specialize in anything.

I and I: Investigation/Interrogation. The name says it all.

Death Squad: BOOM! That about says it. You are trained in big guns.

Kick Murder: Assassins. Trained in close combat and stealth.

Scout: Snipers

Business: The most powerful package there is, you wield the mighty pen. Fear the pen, in the world of progress it is truly mighty.

Mechanic: Duh!

Media: Your the face. You talk the talk and say the right things and run the camera. The camera is the second most powerful weapon the the world of progress. If Slayer is god then TV is his prophet. Everyone watches TV EVERYONE. In fact no matter who you are, you get a free big screen TV from the company. No need to worry about it getting stolen, EVERYONE has one.


There are other packages but those are the basics.


OK there is so much more to say but Ill end it here. Pyxi and Korwin will probably add to what I have said.
 
Well, as interesting as that sounds...

I'm starting my masters in a couple weeks, and I was actually debating about whether I should even continue in the vampire game. So, I really don't think I can start anything new now. I want to really focus on my academics and see if I can actually make something of myself on of these days.

Sorry :(
 
Well, Sic, you know my feeling on it. Cause of our group's history (IRL weekend gaming group) I'd like to see the Vampire game come to at least a suitable resting point. I hate leaving a game in the middle of a scene, but I shall, of course, bow to the majority's wishes.


BTW, I'm a little confused. Are you running the SLA game if it happens? Are you looking for assistance, or...?
 
I love the idea at starting something new and it does sound very fun to play.

But I'm with pyxi shouldn't we do one more scene to finish the vampire game then move on to this new one?

Just my thoughts
 
Pyxi if you wanna double team this one it could be fun. If you want to add your 'squad' that shall remain unnamed, into the game then it would be best if you had defining role in the story. (I don't know enough about them) Also, this will be played at the same time 'Hard as Feth' was in their prime so expect some cameos. (Solitaire is not DEAD ****!) DJ, Josh, Frenchy, Angel, Ms. Kitty, Snow, Uncle Modybags, and ugghhhhh Sali, they will all be popping in and out.

Damm, if you want a break from it all then this is probably a good time to put a hold on the vamp game. We will play SLA till you come back and then take up Vampire again.

Would you expect Djueve to be joining us soon?
 
I'm not sure about Djeuve. He leaves for China on Tuesday, and they HAVE promised him a computer and internet access, but I imagine he'll need a little time to settle in and get his paperwork in order.

As for me, yeah...I'll probably be taking a break once September rolls in. I've got to keep up the charade that I'm intelligent and that takes a lot of hardwork and focus. It would be up to you whether you kill Daithi off and keep going with the game, or if Djeuve returns he could drag Daithi around with Wilhelm like I've been doing, or whether you hold the game until...umm...you do realise that my Master's program is a full 12 months? I wouldn't hold anything in wait for me, personally.
 
As always, Sic, I'm happy to assist...though I'd rather silent partner than actually run. (Got enough on my hands with the Friday night games). Anywho, contact me off list and we'll coordinate.

Muhahahahaha.... oh wait, was that out loud?
 
OK the world of Mort. Just so we all get some in character knowledge let me describe the world you live in. Mort City is best described thusly. Take a cup of dry Raman noodles, flip it over, so the noodles fall out on the floor. Take a piss on it and you've got Mort City.

There is one thing on Mort that never changes. It always 24 hours a day all year long, rains. The rain never stops. It washes down the streets pools up in the alleys, and floods out the lower levels of downtown.

Downtown is the lowest parts of the city, the deep depths and the outer reaches where crime and murders are a daily part of the commute. The skyscrapers are falling down from disrepair. The rain floods out the lower levels and spreads filth everywhere. Its filled with disease and Carnivorous Pigs, the huge hogs, twice the size of a man and a mean streak to match. Beasts of all sorts crawl the depths. The pigs are just the start. Carrien, humanoid scavengers with big nasty teeth and make shift weapons, Manchines, killer robots with human brains gone completely insane, feral Ebony's who wield inc readable power but with no control, subversive Dark Night operatives bent on the destruction of SLA and far far worse things.

Outside of the walls of the city are the vast wastelands of the Cannibal sectors. Huge sprawls of abandoned city full of insane War World veterans, hordes of Carrien, huge aquatic beasts and the worst beast of them all, Digger. Digger is a Manchine. He lives in Salvation Tower, once the shining example of SLA's might, now a den of evil.

In both the Cannibal Sectors and Downtown, no thing is more feared and loved at the same time then the Serial Killers. They walk the night killing who they will and instead of public scone their exploits have become great soap operas of death. Everyone wants to know about Halloween Jack's last victim. Its even considered an honor to be chosen by him to die. The drama unfolds as SLA I and I operatives hunt down the killers to bring them to justice. Justice, meaning a solid Blitzer round to the head.

You've escaped the depths of downtown to the glistening streets of uptown. The world here is different, the rain is blocked by massive glass domes. The streets are clean by comparison, crime is relatively low. This is where the elite live. The rich and famous.

Far from Mort city across the wastelands and out into the sea is Meny. Meny is a massive city under glass. This is where prospective SLA operatives go to be trained. Legends like Deity and Delia the Destroyer have graced its hallow halls.

Far to the east is the only other city on Mort, Orienta. A twisted mass much like Mort City, but here organized Crime Lords rule the streets.

I will be starting this game with all of you as civilians. You will be heading off to Meny to be trained. During the training I will go over everything it means to be a SLA Op. I'm sure your all full of questions so feel free to ask. I want you to think of a character.

You need to pick

Name: You need a name!
Race: Human, Wraith, Shaktar, Ebon, Brainwaster, Frother, or Stormer.
Package: Strike, Deathsquad, Kickmurder, Scout, I and I, Business, Mechanic, or Media.
Where are you from: Downtown, Midtown, Uptown, Orienta, or Off World.
Who you are: What sort of TV do you like? How do you spend your time? What are your hobbies? Who where your parents? What do you look like? Do you know any of the other player characters? Are you in a gang?

Finlay I need you to pick one thing:
Your worst fear.....

Think about it. Ask me questions, and when you are ready to make a character send it to me in PM. DO NOT POST IT HERE! I don't want anyone to know about the other characters. I want you to figure out each other by playing.

And NO Korwin you CANNOT play an advanced Carrien!
 
-_-; ****! And I wanted to play a Greater Carrion! >:(

Hmm... Interesting. A SLA game... Gimme a bit, I need to think of a character concept to run with. BTW, are we on perma-pause with our Vampire Game?
 
Wow highly confusing...lol but I think I just about get the jist. Sounds very cool, give me abit of time to think of a charcater :).

Other than that...I wanted to ask what korwin has already asked, are we pausing the vampire game?
 
Yes we are pausing the vampire game. Damm has to go so I thought it would be a good time to put a hold on it.
 
sounds depressing lol...gonna try to come up with something now or soon...this weekend...hopefully by monday lol
 
Rascal, in a way you're quite right. SLA can be a downright depressing and dark game. But that's why it's so freaking cool! It's over-the-top corporate control, hi-tech, dark, violent, and fun! Just remember, Fast Food isn't just a concept, it's a war. Lol...
 
hehe I thought the vampire game was quite dark...but I have to ay this one is aholwe lot darker and it's very very impressive ^.^
 
Heh, the funny thing is, for how dark and disturbing this game is. It tends to be one of the funniest games we play.

Korwin, remember running through the hospital swinging your chain axe, sining mary had a little lamb. While Uncle Modybags burned the eyes out of that receptionist...... ok so its only funny if you where there.... stop looking at me like that... Im normal!
 
Hmm... what do you think of running a high computer subterfuge mechanic with a kustom battle-taxi?
