Two Worlds – Two Game Systems –

Linked To Create One Roleplaying Experience Unlike Any Other

You are the Player

Earth, 2471 AD. The only thing that matters is The Game. As a Player - a trained Professional or a conscripted Amateur - you Port into The Splinter with an audience of millions watching your every move. In a VR mega-dungeon of infinite size, you will struggle in conflicts dire, for your very life, and for the entertainment of the masses.

Earthside gameplay uses End Transmission Games’ DicePunk System, first seen in Phantasm(2010) and Psionics.

You are the Avatar

The natives of The Splinter - taken by Players as their Avatars - don’t know it’s an ultra-violent spectator sport for Earth. To them, The Splinter is the True Realm: an ever-expanding, ever-changing mega-dungeon labyrinth. The inhabitants of the Splinter are as strange as their environment: powerful shapeshifters gifted with the power to alter reality through will alone.

Gameplay in The Splinter uses its own deep, tactical dice-pool system that pays homage to the best of old-school Dungeons & Dragons.

On dystopian Earth, only the rich and famous can afford personal freedoms. And the only way to get famous is to put on the best show you can… or die trying.

In the Splinter, everything’s out to kill you. Even your fellow Avatars. And when you die in the Splinter, you die on Earth.

Will you kill your way to SUPERSTARDOM, or wind up a smear on someone else's highlight reel?

S.P.L.I.N.T.E.R. is a full roleplaying game core book, using an original six-sided-dice system. You do not need any other products in order to play this game.

"Gameplay in The Splinter uses its own deep, tactical dice-pool system that pays homage to the best of old-school Dungeons & Dragons"

This makes no sense to me. Old school D&D game mechanics aren't deep or tactical, and don't use a dice pool. Old school D&D is rules light narrative d20. So how does this pay homage to it exactly?

So I don't know where I got SPLINTER, but I have a copy and it's got a different cover. Is this another edition? If so, is there a changelog or something similar, so I know if it's worth picking up? Or is it just a reprint?

It's just a reprint, with a bit of a makeover - I learned a lot about layout and design since the first publication! But the content is the same :).

Interesting product. I might buy it alone just for the system, since I am wanting to expand the amount of systems I have in my collection.

Just out of curiousity, what are the chances down the line of the rules-system being released separately?

Many of SPLINTER's rules are fairly tied in to the setting, so I don't think we will release them without any setting info. That being said, the Earthside portions of the game are played with our DicePunk Sysem, which you can download here on DriveThru RPG.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
