Terminator RPG Spotted In The Wilds
Nightfall Games, publishers of SLA Industries, is apparently working on a Terminator RPG, according to a newly spotted Facebook page.
That’s right folks, it looks like at some point in the very near future, there will be a brand new Terminator RPG, according to a Facebook page spotted earlier today. Nightfall Games, whom you might recognize from SLA Industries, which launched its 2nd Edition a while back, recently put up a Facebook Page to host “the official ‘The Terminator’ Role Play game by Nightfall games.”
But aside from the grinning metallic skull of a Cyberdyne Systems Endoskeleton, there’s not much word to go on right now. No official announcement on Nightfall Games’ website or other social media. The only clue we can find are some notes talking about a system that might be at the heart of this game:
Nightfall Games is very proud and pleased to unveil the S5S game system from Nightfall games. At its core this system uses upto 6d10s per player, one Success die and five Skill dice.
At present, this system is only available for SLA Industries 2nd Edition, but will be a key part of the Nightfall Games offering over future years.
SLA Industries 2nd Edition features an entirely new d10-based rules system, built from the ground up and designed to offer a more streamlined and cinematic gaming experience than the old system, while remaining true to the setting. Ratings Points are a new mechanic for 2nd Ed, earned from facetime in front of the camera, or through bravery, extreme success and spectacular failure. These points enable players to perform cinematic feats that defy the norm and impress audiences, and when things don’t quite work out, there’s the new Luck mechanism that allows players to alter or re-roll dice results. Both Ratings Points and Luck are a finite resource, however, and should not be used frivolously.
But even this should be taken with a grain of salt, as Noghtfall have indicated elsewhere that they are working up two new games outside the SLA Industries umbrella, “rhe first, which will be announced fairly soon, will use a well known games system.”
If I had to guess, given recent sci-fi and popular franchise entries, like the Stargate SG-1 and Hellboy rpgs, I’d say 5th Edition is probably your safest bet.
