Welcome to SERPS: Super Easy Role Playing Systems! We make tabletop games that are fast, funny, and frictionless; the kind you can play with the minis, maps, and dice already in your collection. Our goal? Strip out the 300-page rulebooks and give you something you can actually get to the table tonight.Whether it's PvP brawls, modular campaign engines, or a special project you want to bring to life, we build game systems that are simple to learn and dangerously fun to play.
This is what happens when you mix Gygax-style cruelty, card-based chaos, and a noble cause. Designed for The Heinlein Society and the American Red Cross at GenCon 2025, this fast-paced dungeon-death simulator is equal parts throwback and trap-filled tribute. It’s a love letter to the days when you could walk into a convention, sit down at a folding table, and lose your 12th-level wizard to a mislabeled door handle.
The game is run by a GM using a custom deck of scenario cards, each presenting players with an impossible choice: one path leads to glory, the other to a very stupid and very permanent death; unless your d20 save says otherwise. Inspired by the legendary killer dungeons of classic D&D, obscure retro game mechanics, and the kind of "gotcha" design you secretly miss, The Deadliest Tomb delivers absurdly lethal fun in five-minute bursts. Best of all, it was created to support real-world heroes: every laugh, scream, and botched roll helped bring awareness to the life-saving power of blood donation.
The flagship title that kicked this whole mess off. Born from a deep love of miniatures, battle maps, and game nights that start at 8pm and actually begin at 10:30, SERPS was created to cut through the clutter. No 100+ page PDFs. No math degrees required. Just your favorite minis, a basic grid map, your dice, and one very special deck of cards to do the heavy lifting. It's fast. It's tactical. It's weirdly funny. And best of all, it works with the gaming gear you already own.
The SERPS ruleset is built on an open foundation, literally. The core mechanics are open source, and everything runs under an open gaming license. That means you can remix, expand, reprint, or invent new content to your heart’s content. Our goal is to make the SERPS website a living library of both official releases and player-made creations: cards, rules, scenarios, house mods, lore drops, and whatever else you brilliant weirdos cook up. This isn't just a system, it’s a platform. The Drunken Raiders Card System is only the beginning.
