SLA Industries

[UncleDave]

I've been trying to get a game of SLA Industries going recently in channel #SLA_Industries. SLA is a game of 'futuristic horror' and may deal with mature subject matter. That means corruption, degradation, psychosis and so on, NOT just monsters and titties. I've had numerous expressions of interest in the game but it hasn't really gotten anywhere so I've decided to make one last ditch effort by laying things out clearly.

TIME: I tried talking to players about times, since timezones are always a big problem. However, the time has come to bite the bullet, since nobody has really bothered discussing it with me. Therefore, by GM fiat, I hereby declare that game sessions will be held at 11pm GMT on Friday (6pm EST). Edit: Time changed to 8pm GMT on Mondays. The first session will be on 02 Dec, but this will be a 'make your character' session. I will be able to help or even entirely create your character, so long as you at least tell me the character's race and training package.

PLACE: THe aforementioned #SLA_Industries channel. Possibly open an OOC channel later if necessary. Edit: #SLA_OOC for out of character talk.

HOW TO JOIN: PM me or memo me on irc, or join #SLA_Industries and tell me. Optimum number of players is 4, IMHO.

Any questions, ask them on irc or reply to this thread. Preferably both, because I'm a forgetful, lazy bastich!

Cheers!

I thought i'd join but the time will be a bit too late, as i'm gmt+2

[UncleDave]

Well BigBunny you might be in luck. The start of the game proper is currently scheduled for 12Dec, 8pm GMT (3pm EST). Anyone who was not present at the first session can still join in, but to do so you must bring a completed character.

The new time had to be arranged after the end of the previous session; if anyone can't make the new time, please let me know asap!

Cheers!
