This is a two-shot of Slugblaster Turbo. You will be playing a crew of teenage hoverboarders trying to make a name for yourselves in the world of slugblasting. Will you be a gutsy rich kid with a pair of signature jet shoes? A chill loser with a lovable robot sidekick and strict parents? A meta-dimensional princess with a negafriction katana? Mix and match elements to craft your character.
Attendance at both sessions is strongly encouraged; if possible please sign up for both halves.

The Pitch: In the small town of Hillview, teenage hoverboarders sneak into other dimensions to explore, film tricks, go viral, and get away from the problems at home. It’s dangerous. It’s stupid. It’s got parent groups in a panic. And it’s the coolest thing ever. This is Slugblaster Turbo. Just because you’ve only been doing this two or three weeks, everyone thinks you’re posers! Make a video, win a contest, or do something else to prove them wrong and get the scene’s attention.
Rules: Slugblaster Turbo is a rules-light ttrpg designed specifically for one-shots and online play. It uses a stripped-down version of the Forged in the Dark engine, modified to power looking cool, doing tricks, and fast-paced laser-fantasy action in general. No familiarity with Slugblaster or Forged in the Dark rules is needed to play. All rules will be taught during the session.
Venue: Zoom. The session will not be recorded.
Contact: Players will receive an email about a week before the first session to confirm the commitment and receive links to play materials.
