Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Splinter is a fantasy/sci-fi tabletop RPG by End Transmission Games. The game's chief gimmick, as the blurb above suggests, is its dual nature: You play a citizen of a dystopian earth who is in turn a Player in a massive virtual-reality fantasy RPG called The Game. The Game is one part fantasy RPG, one part Arcade Deathmatch, one part pro football, and one part soap opera. It is the pinnacle of entertainment, and what allows Games.Corp to maintain control of the Plebeian Masses.On the other side of the equation is the Avatar, which the player's Player inhabits when playing the game. Avatars are shape-shifting demigods who inhabit The Realm, a universe composed entirely of an infinite, shape-shifting mega-dungeon. The Realm's history stretches back 100 billion years, including the rise and fall of thousands of Precursor civilizations that have all left relics of their technology behind for modern societies to discover. Recently, the citizens of the Realm have been under assault by the "outsiders", strange beings from beyond reality who possess Avatars and force them to participate in murderous games...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Splinter is, essentially, a deconstruction of classic tabletop gaming, subverting many classic gaming tropes while remaining a true monster-slaying, trap-disabling, loot-collecting dungeon crawl.A supplement, Superstar Profile: Kade Merek, was released soon after Splinter was published. It details the titular character’s rise from the slums of Mumbai to fame and fortune in the game. In addition to providing extra insight into the game’s world, stats are included for his human and avatar forms.The game's Web site can be found here.The creator's blog can be found here. | |

Fridge Horror | |
| The Splinter (Tabletop Game) / int_1ae27a74 | comment |
Fridge Horror: At first, the Controll Test mechanic seems like an interesting way of highlighting the Diegetic Interface nature of the character sheet. Then you realize that it represents the Player fighting to control the body of a fully sentient Avatar who had just been going about his life before being possessed. What's worse: the way the numbers work out, Avatars have almost no chance of retaining control of their body against all but the weakest-willed players. They best they can hope for is to subtly influence the Player towards their own loyalties or goals. | |

Our Werebeasts Are Different | |
| The Splinter (Tabletop Game) / int_2f41cac1 | comment |
Our Werebeasts Are Different: The vast majority of sentient beings inhabiting The Realm (and all of the beings that can become Avatars for Players) are shape-shifters. In fact, being able to freely shift forms is considered by many citizens of The Realm to be required for true sentience. Leads to some Fantastic Racism. | |

Schizo Tech: The technology in The Splinter covers everything from early medieval weapons to impossibly advanced, essentially magical devices. The core rulebook includes repeating crossbows, monofilament razor-wire launchers, steampunk Gatling guns, automatic shotguns, advanced underwater laser pistols, heavy insanity rays, blade-wands, disintegrator pistols, directional nukes, and about 50 types of old-fashioned medieval slaughtering tools. | |

Bio Punk | |
| The Splinter (Tabletop Game) / int_4afa0e25 | comment |
Bio Punk: Considering the occasional piece of symbiotic equipment or living weapon that shows up, one or more of The Realms precursor races seem to have dabbled in Bio Punk. Some examples include the living torpedo (a bat-like creature that acts as a semi-intelligent homing torpedo) and Mr. Wubbles (bio-engineered little ball of fluff that is so unbelievably cute that creatures will stand around and coo at it until they die of starvation) Then there's the Shooting Starfly and Great White Phoenix, both of which appear to be self-sustaining bioweapons. The Great White Pheonix even grows its own computer access terminals. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| The Splinter (Tabletop Game) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Not being able to freely shape-shift is a sure sign of non-sentience to many beings in The Realm, no matter how intelligent and self-aware the being in question is. The Voormis induce an instinctive, seemingly elemental feeling of revulsion from other sentient beings. Everybody hates the Ophidians, but that's because they're generally pretty vile. Turning into a black, tentacle-like serpent doesn't help matters. | |

Malevolent Architecture: The vast majority of the traps encounters in The Realm weren't put there by any sentient being, they just sort of appeared.

Large Ham: The color commentary mechanic rewards this. Professional players can pause in the middle of an action and describe what they're doing, similar to how reality tv shows cut away in the middle of an event so that the participants can describe how they felt and what they saw during the event. Depending on how awesome and over-the-top their description is, that player can get a bonus to their dice pool. | |

Magitek: In The Realm, magic & science are indistinguishable. As far as citizens of the realm are concerned, magic animates golems, makes guns fire, powers your fireball spells, holds you to the ground, and everything else. The powers-that-be on Earthside are frantically trying to figure all this out, as The Realm (in theory) operates on nearly identical physics as the real world. | |

Our Goblins Are Different | |
| The Splinter (Tabletop Game) / int_9136471a | comment |
Our Goblins Are Different: The Voormis are horrible, yellow, misshapen proto-men who invoke an instinctual feeling of revulsion and horror in other sentient life-forms. In a twist on the shape-shifting nature of many of the other creatures of The Realm, the Voormis are born as small, rat-like creatures and gradually attain their near-human form as they age. | |

| The Splinter (Tabletop Game) / int_92286f7f | comment |
One of the precursor races, the Pyx, was fabulously advanced to the point of being able to create their own miniature universes, but designed most of their technology to run on steam because they enjoyed the aesthetic. | |

Mind Screw | |
| The Splinter (Tabletop Game) / int_bef696dd | comment |
Mind Screw: The way Earthside and The Realm interact is a bit mind-screwy. To clarify: Earthside programmers created The Realm as the ultimate virtual reality playground, and have since lost the ability to influence it directly beyond a few minor changes. Rather than simply loading up an avatar of their own design, Players are forced to override the consciousness of an already existent being in The Realm, and must actively fight for control of the body both minds inhabit. The beings of The Realm have become aware of Earthside as a result, and believe they are under attack by some extra-dimensional alien force. Compared to Earthside, The Realm is far older and far more complex. The question is, at what point does (did?) the realm stop being a simulation and become real? The experience of being an IRL player playing an Earthside Player playing an Avatar in The Realm is also a bit of a mind screw. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Splinter (Tabletop Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Luciform daemons are a shout out to a The Mars Volta song of the same name. The recent supplement "Sometimes Little Wondrous Things", mentions an ultra-religious settlement called Soothsayer that is very similar to Columbia from Bioshock Infinite. The inhabitants wield semi-steampunk technology and worship an entity called Jehova. It is also described as being set in a level made of "skies that go on forever, all blue and white, no ceilings at all". There is an area of the SPLIINTER known as D-6 Metro Line that is essentially Metro 2033. Being made up of abandoned subway tunnels with signs written in Russian(and Japanese) and the locals often using bullets for currency. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| The Splinter (Tabletop Game) / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: True Dragons are a non-playable Bloodline complete with a man, middle, and beast form. They do not strictly breathe fire; rather, their World-Breathing allows them to alter the very fabric of reality with their breath. The Wyndlass, one of the playable bloodlines, are a race of shape-shifting silver drakes. Rather than a dragons signature breath weapon, they can wield weapons with their tail, and can detach their wings and use them as attack drones. | |

Diegetic Interface: Players must make a test versus the Avatar they are inhabiting when entering the splinter. The degree of success determines how much of your in-game HUD you have access too. Total failure means the IRL!player doesn't even have access to their character sheet! | |

Cyberpunk: Just a touch, but it's there. Middle-form Mnemonics (a race of were-golems/were-robots) are often described as having cyberarms and cyberlegs, or the magitek equivalent. Earthside is very cyber punk, both in terms of tech level and in a "ruled by megacorps" type of way. | |
