* BioPunk: 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.

!!Tropes included in the game:
* SchizoTech: The technology in TheSplinter covers everything from early medieval weapons to impossibly advanced, essentially magical devices. The core rulebook includes repeating crossbows, monofillament razor-wire launchers, steam-punk Gatling guns, automatic shotguns, advanced underwater laser pistols, heavy insanity rays, blade-wands, disentegrator pistols, directional nukes, and about fifty types of old-fashiond medieval slaughtering tools.
''IN THE SPLINTER, everything is out to kill you. Even Fellow Avatars. And when you die in {{The SPLINTER}} you die on Earth''\\
{{The SPLINTER}} is a fantasy/sci-fi tabletop RPG by End Transmission Games. The game's chief gimmick, as the blurb above suggests, is it's 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 one-hundred-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...
{{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.

The second major gimmick is that everything within TheSplinter (that is the gameworld of the game-within-the-game) is randomly generated: the entire universe of The Realm (as it's citizens call it) is a randomly generated infinite super-dungeon: one could find any setting from a classic grey-walled fantasy crypt to a steam-punk torture chamber to an abandoned modern shopping mall to a space station from TwentyMinutesInToTheFuture. The loot, too, runs the magical and technological gamut from a badly rusted longsword to a fully functional 50's sci-fi disintegrator pistol. The creator of the game has stated that The Splinter is his love/hate letter to RadomlyGeneratedLevels of TableTopGames like D&D or video games like Diablo.
