The Singularity System

The Singularity System, at 226 pages, is a full length full-featured Tabletop Roleplaying Game designed as a modular science-fiction toolkit. The Singularity System is setting neutral, which means you bring your own setting, or convert any one you like: it is most specc'd to do military sci-fi a la Halo or Mass Effect, Traveller-style space adventuring in a small starship owned or leased by the PCs, or Aliens style bug hunts in space, but can do everything from Star Wars to Star Trek with a little tweaking. Two of the system's main focuses are on Tactical Vehicular Combat--using abstracted range bands rather than a gridded battle map, with a ReAct system that emphasizes the action economy advantage smaller, maneuverable craft have over the slower heavy hitters--and Strategic Starship Combat--a "bridge simulator"-like experience where every PC can meaningfully contribute to the star combat, not just the helmsman and gunner.

The Singularity System is supported by four crunch-oriented modules titled, in order of publication: 01 Biotech, 02 Mind Games, 03 Firefight, 04 Infowar. These add extensive rules for, respectively: cybernetic implants and bioaugmentation, psionic talents and psychic powers, new personal combat options and an extended arsenal of weapons, armor, specialized ammo, weapon mods, and gear, and advanced rules for hacking, augmented reality tactical networks, full VR immersion, and more. Each supplement is a standalone plugin that's completely optional depending on what exists in your game's setting.

Systems Malfunction, a standalone TTRPG I also wrote, designed, and published, runs on a modified version of the Singularity System tuned to best support its unique and intricate setting.

Extensive new content for The Singularity System is in development and forthcoming.
