Has anyone started writing a BITD hack for SLA Industries? I can’t think of a better candidate for conversion (it doesn’t even really need any development, just a skin). If not, is anyone interested in co-authoring some playbooks and crew sheets?

Ooh! This could work. It’d be interesting to see how sponsors and endorsements work. Does each character get their own “crew playbook” to path their particular brand? That’s an element of SLA that I thought should take a larger place on the character sheet. How does your character market themselves for teevee?
Not intentionally, but I’ve been working a lot on Runners (Blades over Shadowrun) and also thinking about how I might incorporate some of how the new rpg Cabal is structured. And after looking up SLA (hadn’t heard of it before) I realize i’m probably working in that very space. Should you want to chat about it, I’m down
I initially thought the playbooks would be the races and the crews would be the different squads. As the squad develops, you would get endorsements, teevee coverage, sponsors, prototpe gear, ammunition access, etc like you get turf and the rest in BitD. Shadowrun sounds pretty sweet too! SLA jumped to mind because the worlds are so similar in tone.
so I didnt play SLA, are sponsorships the thing you compete with other crews for? If so, that would make a good replacement for turf. And those other benefits sound like good context for claims
SAL is worth checking out. TV coverage of violent squads is a big thing. Corporations sponsor the squad, or individuals on the squad. The game mechanic is straight forward at times and ridiculously complex at other times. Really cool dark future idea though.
