Jaded Gamer Diary - Sla Industries

Just for the record, I wrote this about a week ago and updated it a couple of times.  Scheduled it to go live on 9/28.  On 9/27 out of nowhere Dave Allsop sent me a friend request on Facebook.  I'm about to talk badly about how Sla is being handled and I wonder if he would have sent me that friend request if he as seen this first. 

Ah well anyways... on with Jaded Gamer.

--------------------------------------------

Save Sla Industries.

That's what the folk from Nightfall Games are telling us to do. No really they are, for those who missed here is a link to their announcement of sorts.

http://nightfall.co/540/save-sla-industries.html

Now as somebody who has bought all the Sla Industries books and bought all the pdfs they managed to put out I have something to say about this. We, and others, have been trying to save the game for nearly twenty years, where the fuck have you been?

Seriously the game has been brought back from the dead twice that I can remember. Once from Hogshead Games which did pretty well from what I've heard but in the end didn't work out as the owner decided to get out of the game business (correct me if I'm wrong there). Second time was through Cubicle Seven which put out some pretty decent stuff like CS1 and Hunter Sheets. Then suddenly Dave decided to take his ball and go home.

Now there was that sort of third attempt by the new resurrected Nightfall Games. They gave us the sourcebook nobody really wanted called Hunter Sheets 2 (which I still bought) along with some pretty decent mini resources called Data Sheets. But they never tried any real sort of push and the data sheets trickled off and then died. Yes I bought nearly everything they put out except the print versions of the data sheets and like one or two of the swag items. Hell I still use my Shiver key chain for my keys to this day.

Okay they gave it a decent push but then killed off momentum with one of the things Sla is famous for. Announcing products that never get made. Let's see, Hardware Guide, All in the Family were listed in the old WOTC catalog back in the day. We've heard about various race sourcebooks, White Earth, some planet sourcebooks, 2^nd edition to many time to remember, so many others I've forgotten. The new 'improved' Nightfall gave us a cover for 2^nd edition... years ago. Not to mention we are still waiting for the announced Manchine data sheet... from a year or two ago.

Now what you can do is absolutely dwarf the amount of official release stuff with the amount of fan produced material out there. The fans for Sla are some of the most dedicated I've seen in gaming. Sadly quite a few of them seem to have walked away after years of this back and forth between companies and constant let downs by announcements that never happen.

So yeah we've been trying to save the fucking game for a good long time now.

Need a constant flow of cash, well then you need a decent output of product. Not to mention someplace to buy stuff from, like maybe t-shirts and swag. There are several sites out there that let you set these up with little or no cost to you. Sell us some freaking standard shirts without any strings attached. No limited printed amount, or sites that pop up and then vanish (like just a month or so ago), give us as many as we want from a site that prints them as we order. Give us good proven marketing that works to get us to give you money in exchange for product. Not bizarro land marketing by making limited edition crap for a damn near dead game with a shrinking fan base. Sell us those Scav miniatures your showing by themselves instead of bundled with some other stuff making it implausible for anyone to buy enough to actually use in a game.

Fuck show us you have a clue as to what the hell you are doing before asking for us to jump on some limited edition bandwagon.  Really just give us the shit to buy and make it easy for us.  I mean they are even offering a Halloween Jack hoodie... but only one... they won't make anymore.  WTF?

https://www.facebook.com/daruma.productions/posts/837288696382241?fref=nf

So make something people want, but only make one. For a "get our facebook page likes" contest?

You know it seems more and more like they are trying to make a 'collectible' RPG or something.  I mean what if somebody doesn't hear about this 'limited edition' crap or maybe can't afford it right now.  They are fucking out of luck then once they are gone. But what do I know I'm just a random gamer on the internet, one of those consumers that they probably don't seem to worry about.

I'm out, so completely and totally out.  Not going to buy the limited edition stuff or even try to get it.  My interest in anything Sla coming out in the future has just hit the floor.  I'm done.  Another Sla fan turning his back and walking away.
 

 

If you are interested at all in Sla Industries you can purchase them in pdf.  Most of them are pay what you want (which I would at least suggest tossing them a dollar or two).  It is a great game but I'm just to burnt out and fucking tired of how it's been handled. Not to mention the shitty way they are trying to bring it back through limited edition gimmicks.

Quite a surprise really.

Something very interesting caught my eye on Facebook the other day.  Something I never thought I would see.  I must say I am quite surprised by it, here let me show you what it is.

Now what you may see here is simply an add for an upcoming Magic The Gathering tournament at a game shop.  That would be pretty normal.  But it's what kind of group is sponsoring this tournament that really gets my attention.  This one is being sponsored by a local church.

For those who may not understand the importance of this let me explain a little bit.  I live in rural Missouri.  Right smack dab in the middle of the bible belt.  Yeah we remember the 'Satanic Panic' of the eighties very well.   Many religious minded folks here would like to keep that thought alive.  So there has always been a bit of tension between gamers and the local churches, well most of them anyways.  So this really steps out a bit from the norm. 

Personally I hope this works out very well and a few people broaden their minds a bit when it comes to gaming locally.  Although I still have an uphill battle with some religious folks (being an atheist in this area isn't all that fun) hopefully this will make it easier for others.

So I have to give a nice shout out to the church and the game shop behind this.

K&A games can be found at their Facebook page.

While the church can be found at their website.

Hope this works out well for both parties behind this and for the local gaming community as well.
