Systems Failure is a small oneshot Tabletop RPG designed by the good folks at Palladium Books and serves as their take on both the Y2K hysteria and Bug War tropes. It all began at the turn of the new millennium when a sudden global event known as "The Meltdown" occurred and many things began happening at once. Power grids and computers all across the world began experiencing strange glitches, malfunctions and even total failure. But the planet's rapidly collapsing infrastructure would soon be the least of humanity's worries, for something far more sinister arrived on that day... a race of power hungry giant insects hellbent on taking over the world and enslaving humanity to serve as slaves and living incubators for their offspring!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Many years later after that terrible day humanity has found itself on the frontlines in a nightmarish war to reclaim their lost homes, friends, families and lives. Bugs infest nearly every major city and urban area and can convert their bodies into pure energy to strike nearly anywhere on earth at a moments notice... or beat a hasty retreat if the humans manage to get the better of them. Things won't be easy for the human race from here on out, but if folks can work together and successfully strike back against their monstrous new insect overlords they might just manage to survive another day... and eventually take back America from the insectoid menace! | |

| Systems Failure (Tabletop Game) / int_3dd3951e | comment |
Cowboy Cop: The Peacekeeper O.C.C. seems to have been designed with this trope in mind and comes in two main flavors: Town Marshals and Badland Vigilantes. The Town Marshals behave similarly to the small town sheriffs of the old west and keep the common folk safe from bandits and other threats while the Badland Vigilantes are a more nomadic type of lawman that travel across the US looking for wrongs to right. | |

Area 51 | |
| Systems Failure (Tabletop Game) / int_95d5fa0e | comment |
Area 51: The entire state of Nevada is now referred to as Area 51 and something very strange is going on there. Rumor has it that anyone who enters the territory disappears and is never heard from again and that both Reno and Las Vegas are bugged, though any actual concrete facts about the place are in short supply. NORAD might know some things about Area 51 but refuse to say anything on the matter, leaving it a mystery. | |
