Reply To: SLA Industries: Cannibal Sector 1 KS dead

[wfgdrmrParticipant 400xp 1]

I mentioned above that the discussion here between Tankkommander and I had been on going on another thread (https://www.beastsofwar.com/news/rules-sla-industries-cannibal-sector-1/)  and I stated on the other thread some points, which should probably be featured on this one too, here is my post:

“Wow! A lot of statements here from people that don’t have a full understanding of the situation.
Let me confirm some things for you all:

1. Like a band, Nightfall Games has had a lot of members over the years, but 2 have been there since the beginning and are the creators of SLA Industries.
2. Those 2 joined Daruma with 2 others. The 2 Nightfall fellows were non-executive directors (means were not in charge of the money).
3. A number of individuals over the years have had a beef with Nightfall (for various reasons) and have therefore reason to chuck shit…this is easy to do from behind a keyboard and pseudonym.
4. 3 directors left at once, all three were NOT the director in charge of the money.
5. Word Forge Games were asked to buy into Daruma, take over the KS fulfilment and hence own the miniature game by the 2 executive directors, before the 3 directors left. The miniature game was a co-production by Daruma and Nightfall at that time (look at the first sentence of the KS for evidence of that). In the process of due diligence, WFG discovered that Daruma was insolvent. 3 directors left Daruma at that point. 1 has disappeared from the industry and the 2 non-executive (Nightfall) have since partnered with WFG (as Nightfall Games) and a 4th individual to fulfil the KS.
6. As stated on the KS, it was a partnership between Daruma and Nighfall. Daruma has entered liquidation and Nightfall (with financial input from WFG), as is its obligation, is working to complete it. Someone above stated that the non-executive directors have jumped ship and left the one Daruma director holding the baby – I would suggest that in fact the non-executive directors have actually rescued the baby and are now metaphorically bringing it up).
7. There was 2 options, A. SLA Industries and Nightfall died with Daruma and the KS backers (and preorderers) got nothing. B. WFG and Nighfall paired up, completed the KS and worked to bring SLA Industries RPG into the 21st century. We decided on number B (and for that we are 100% unapologetic).
8. None of the 4 directors have jumped ship from Daruma (again look at Daruma on companies house for proof). All 4 are still shareholders and are working on the liquidation process. The one still a director and both the ‘nightfall ones’ are working together to close Daruma. I can assure you that the sole objective of the current Nightfall team is to ensure SLA Industries survives and that the KS they are now solely responsible for is fulfilled.

I know it is fun to make assumptions upon assumptions and then present your conclusions as truth, but it is important to remember that there are 4 real people here and each and everyone is struggling to a greater or lesser extent with the fallout of Daruma’s demise.

And to the casual observer, be aware that there are people with ulterior motives posting half, bent and non-truths regarding this situation, Daruma, Nightfall, SLA and the creators. Its sad, but it happens.

Have KS backers lost their pledge? No.
Are the current Nighfall team working like billy-o to fulfil it? Yes.

Now I should point out that 40 backers have now received their pledge already and around 50 will in the next few weeks. We will have also fulfilled the ‘Cannibal Pre-order’ in the same timescale.
