The Systems Malfunction universe is a Science Fiction/Science Fantasy setting created by Devon Oratz. Two video games (Iron Gaia and Iron Gaia: Virus), a Live-Action Role-Play, and dozens of novellas and short stories have been set in this universe. Most recently, End Transmission Games has adapted the universe into a Tabletop RPG with the release of the Systems Malfunction setting book for the Singularity game system.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Information on both the LARP and the tabletop game can be found on the official End Transmission Games website. The Systems Malfunction tabletop setting book can be purchased on DriveThru. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Systems Malfunction (Tabletop Game) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: A prominent theme in the setting. Perhaps the greatest influence on galactic society was the GAIA, an insane godlike AI that attempted to save humanity from itself, subjecting countless humans to horrific and torturous experiments in the process of figuring out how to "perfect" mankind. The GAIA's ultimate goal was to eradicate free will and unite all humanity into a Hive Mind under her control. Another godlike AI, the Demiurge, seeks to complete the job that the GAIA started, which is unsurprising since the Demiurge is a "backup" of one of the GAIA's cruelest and most ruthless personality aspects. | |

Ace Pilot | |
| Systems Malfunction (Tabletop Game) / int_5deb34da | comment |
Ace Pilot: In the tabletop game, the "Vehicle Expertise" and "Ace" perks allow characters to become ace pilots of the vehicle of their choice. In the LARP, the Pilot class allows characters to be ace pilots of Mini-Mecha and/or remote-piloted drones. | |

Insectoid Aliens | |
| Systems Malfunction (Tabletop Game) / int_63f22889 | comment |
Played terrifyingly straight by the Xel's ancient enemies, the Praxar, who are basically a cross between the Xenomorphs from Alien and the Borg from Star Trek, with a Survival of the Fittest outlook towards sentient life (not that they generally bother trying to explain their motivations; they're so monstrous and animalistic it took a while for anyone to even figure out that they were intelligent). They'll assimilate you, but only if you're considered worthy; if not, you'll probably be used as a living battery, having the life very slowly drained out of you over the course of several weeks. It says something when the best outcome their captives can expect is to be devoured whole and thus given at least a relatively quick and painless death. | |

Nature Versus Nurture | |
| Systems Malfunction (Tabletop Game) / int_d29e9f65 | comment |
Averted with the Xel, who had a completely peaceful utopian society before they were taken from their homeworld by the GAIA. After they integrated themselves into human society, though, they became no better than the rest of us. | |

A God Am I | |
| Systems Malfunction (Tabletop Game) / int_dc1761bd | comment |
A God Am I: The primary manifestation of the GAIA's insanity was her belief that she was a Goddess. The Demiurge/M0NAD is very fond of referring to itself as God. | |
