SLA Industries

Last weekend, that’s not the one that ended yesterday but the one the week before, just felt the strange need to clarify! But if this sits in a word document for more than a day that statement is now a load of rubbish.

Any way the last gaming weekend (I won’t be so slack this also becomes false) we did, we started a new campaign of SLA. A very interesting game, all happiness and fun! (If you’re off you head on drugs, a very real possibility in this setting). It’s a very dark and gritty game with strong elements of horror and desperation. More info can be found here . The game is also quite old btw.

So my new character is a Brainwaster called Bubble Gum. Her cheerful name, the addition of neon pink highlights to her black hair, her toned figure, amazing good looks, and neon pink colours to her equipment belie a media seeking, bloodthirsty psychopath.

My character is the melee combat specialist of our group with a customised chain axe, and enhancement as one of her primary ebon skills. She will gradually improve her ranged combat skills as well for when you just can’t or really shouldn’t get close to your target.

The rest of the team is another Brainwaster called Barnaby who specialises in the Blast power. Bubble Gum has given him the designation of Ranged Support (AOE Capable). Then there is an Ebon called Luna who has investigative based skills along with a good rifle skill. Her designation is therefore Ranged Support. Finally there is a second Ebon called Arny whose areas of expertise are scouting and Ebb Healing. Bubble Gum’s designation for him is obviously Healer!

For those who know the system this is a bit of an unusual group! As Ebon’s and Brainwasters really don’t like each other. But from Bubble Gum’s point of view Luna and Arny may be a couple of wimpy fairies but they’re her wimpy fairies! And if any one dares to hurt the healer they can expect to be meeting her chain axe very shortly!

This should be an interesting game and I’m even writing a journal for bubble gum in the game. The first entry will be copied to a subsequent post.

Bubble Gum’s starting character sheet can be found here – we used 350 rather than 300 points for initial character creation. And where cruelly limited to a maximum starting Protect skill of 4!
