Hi to everyone from Nightfall
Announcement regarding canon for SLA Industries
The recent discussion between the team, enabled us to condense our views on the future of SLA Industries, and in the process it became clear that with the publication of the new book, certain older tomes would be superseded either in part or full by its publication. To avoid confusion for old and new players, we have made the following announcement:
As Nightfall Games finalise the new publication – SLA Industries: Cannibal Sector 1, we have taken a good look at the contents of the various source materials published to date. As many of you know, a number of these books were produced with little or no input from the creators of SLA Industries and as such do not represent the image, ideals, nor stories of The World of Progress. Additionally, a number of the books have been directly superseded (in whole or part) by the writing in the new book. With this in mind, only the following source books and supplements should be now be considered canon (the official vision of The World of Progress):
SLA Industries Main Rulebook (including all reprints) (ISBN 1 899749 23 3)
Karma (ISBN 1 880992 56 6)
Hunter Sheets Issue 1 (ISBN 978 0 9555423 1 2)
Hunter Sheets Issue 2 (ISBN 978 0 9556497 1 2)
“Klick’s End” Data Packet
“Momic 0.1” Data Packet
"The Dream" Data Packet
"Threat Analysis: Hominid" Data Packet
"Hunters Sheets: Red Alert" Data Packet
SLA Industries GM Screen
The publications listed below are no longer considered to be an official part of the SLA Industries canon.
Mort Sourcebook (ISBN 0 9522176 6 X)
The Key of Delhyread (ISBN 978-1-899749-24-9)
The Contract Directory (ISBN 978-1-899749-29-4)
Cannibal Sector 1 (ISBN 978 0 9555423 0 5)
“Ursa Carrien” Data Packet
As such we will be removing these books from sale onDriveThruRPGon the 31st January 2019.
NB: These PDFs will stay on your DriveThru account ad infinitum if you buy them or have them there already.
The New BOOK:
We let you know that we had set ourselves a very aggressive target to get all the writing done by the end of January and I am very pleased to announce that we made it:
Now we move to proofreading and layout.
You will see that I have added the Word Count for each chapter too, and it is clear that this book will be the biggest SLA Industries publication ever.
KEY: BLUE: Complete, GREEN: In Process, AMBER: In the queue, to be completed. Note the Word and Page Count numbers in WHITE are current totals or predictions. AMBER: are educated guesses and BLUE: are confirmed.

Hello everyone from all at Nightfall
Shipping.
The team have now got everything we need to start shipping, with the exception of the A4 (see more on that below). So if you want to get your miniatures, A5 rulebook, dice, bags etc. before the A4 book is ready keep reading. (if not Jump to the next Title) We are doing what we can to make the process as simple as possible, hence have made up 50 boxes of the following (which equates to the £100 pledge):
If you pledged for the £100 pledge and would like us to send this to you before the A4 is ready we can do, but we will need to ask you for the postage for this as we do not have the budget to send out Waved Parcels.
Here's what to do:
1. Comment below that you want fulfilment in Waves.
NOTE: It will also be possible to pick up from the store: Crescent Gaming Consortium, Whitnash, Warwickshire, CV31 2QY, but please comment below if you wish to do this.
4. As soon as we receive payment we will, pick and pack your parcel, adding anything else we have ready for you.
NOTE: If you preordered the Cannibal Set we will be sending that out over the next couple of weeks too and will include what we can of the pledge with that - hence don't pay extra for postage.
What happens if I do not want to split shipping? We will send your parcels out when the A4 book is ready. We will pay for this postage.
What happens if I want to swap something out from the above pledge? We will update people in this situation after we have processed the first Wave of split shipping.
What happens if I did not pledge at the £100 pledge? We will update people in this situation after we have processed the first Wave of split shipping.
A4 Status
The History Chapter needs around 800 more words and the Dream Entities are the last part of the Faction section.
General Status
Website
Now that the majority of the writing is done, Mark will get back on the website over the next week or so. We should be ready for website launch by mid Feb.
At this point we will be able to share all of the swap in and out options.
And Finally...
We are now able to better understand the entire cost to Word Forge Games and Nightfall Games to complete this Kickstarter. We will have spent £20k across the initial investment and of our own money and thousands of unpaid hours on making this happen. We did not see any money from this Kickstarter since we took over (or for the entire year before). We did this because we believe it is the right thing to do and also believe in SLA Industries and its future. - Cheers Mark, Shep, Dave and Jared
Cards art in!

Hi Everyone from Nightfall Games!
CS1 Cards
We are pleased to announce that the cards for the Kickstarter and the Cannibal preorder have arrived. We need to sort them all out but here is a small selection of them!
The Glyph Cards. A set of 10 cards.
A small selection of the Denizen and Character Cards, some of these are included in the KS set, but some are part of retail offerings.
A4 Progression
As you can see below, we are progressing well. We are still reasonably confident we will get most of the writing done by the end of the month, but even if not we will be very close. What is important is that of the 3 Chapters still green (being completed), well over 95% is written.
We have also see the Locations Chapter move to ready for layout. And now Introductions is with the external proofer.
Fulfilment
Now we have all the cards, we are in a position to enable some shipping for those people who want to split their delivery into waves. Mark and the Word Forge team are making up 50 sets of the CORE £100 pledge, which we can add to the rest of your pledge if you have extras. These can be sent out ahead of the main book for the cost of P&P. We plan to offer this service as of early February. DON'T CONTACT US REGARDING THIS YET, AS WE AREN'T THERE YET!
Retail Sets and the Website
We are also planning on having our website up and running in February. This will include many of the no-KS models and a few other new things!
Here is a few sample images.
The Cannibal Starter Set
The Carrien Starter
The Ebb User set will come with 3 models, the Glyph Cards and the Ebb tokens.
The A4 Art set. This limited edition run will be complemented with an even more limited run of signed art pieces.
We are getting there!
DarkNight Time!

Hi to all from the team at Nightfall Games!
DarkNight
We are pleased to announce that the DarkNight miniatures have started the rendering process!
More on this soon!
Model and Card Update:
The cards are due by the end of the month and models are progressing well:
The A4 Book
We are getting very close on the writing and the end of Jan target for writing completion is looking very good. We are looking at a 175k word document.
We have mocked up some pages to see what font size will work best considering the number of words:
Note: this test does not include fully proofed text.
Signed Art is Done too!
This will be limited to 50. Most are already allocated, but we will add the few remaining to the website shop (due to open in Feb.).
Until next time!

Hello one and all from the Nightfall team and Happy New Year
The A4
Over the festive period we have seen a lot of progress with the book. The team met via Skype and agreed to aim to complete writing by the end of the month. This is a very aggressive target, but consensus was if we reach for the sky, even if we don't make it we will land in the stars and be very close.
If we assume that we get all written and proofed in that time period, Shep and Mark will be able to move to the next RPG product, as Jared completes layout and Dave starts and finalises the Cover art.
Blue is complete, Green near completion, yellow in Process
