THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON PORTALS.

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. A tabletop rpg about teenagehood, giant bugs, circuit-bent rayguns, and trying to be cool.

Who are you going to be? A sassy rich kid with a pair of modified time-skipping Scram Cat® sneakers? A chill loser with a lovable robot sidekick? An ultra-dimensional princess with a hoverboard made from pure light?What are you going to do? Will you blow off school and sesh the abandoned mall in Vastiche? Get the Miper sponsorship by speed-running Prismatia? Salvage power crystals from the mossy decommissioned gundam in The Golden Jungle? Sneak into the hottest party in Operaeblum?But be careful! Make sure you get home before the demiplane melts, or the bloodwhip swarm sucks your marrow out, or your mom finds out where you've been and sends you away to a camp for troubled youths.

Fame and popularity! Get fans, earn sponsorships, wear a t-shirt with your face on it.

Narrative downtime arcs, where you buy scene prompts with points you earn during your adventures.

Dramatic, push-your-luck, third-act disasters.

Really dope chases.

Sci-fi adventure like Big Hero 6, Paper Girls, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and the Spider-Verse movies.
