CHAPTER SERF
CHAPTER SERF is a tabletop roleplaying game and adventure, set in Warhammer 40K, where you play those hooded peasant weirdos you sometimes spot in the backgrounds of the art.

Here's the pitch:
+
CHAPTER SERF is a game about candles.
As a fan of Warhammer 40K, I think about Space Marines a lot. Space Marines are:
Feudal aristocrats, with all the uncaring impunities that affords;
Literal grandsons of God, with monastic habits;
Genetically engineered super soldiers;
Children, kidnapped and brainwashed before puberty.
These are not well-adjusted, fully-developed persons. When do they ever get the opportunity?
What would it be like, to serve such persons? To run their supply chains? Keep their households? Satisfy their desires? Clean up their messes?
+
In artwork and cinematics; on miniature bases and in bitz boxes; described in comics and novels, Space Marine architecture is replete with candles.
So many candles.
A Space Marine doesn’t think about where candles come from, or what candles cost. (They think about war and xenos and traitors, stuff like that.)
A Space Marine wants candles—so there should and must be candles.
CHAPTER SERF is a game about getting an emotionally-arrested, casually-genocidal bossman demigod—to whom it would be sacrilege to say no—the candles they want.
+
I keep trying to write fan TTRPGs for 40K.
The first was Paper Route, also set on a giant flying cathedral of a spaceship. I never finished it. It was called "Paper Route" because the ship was cargo hauler, transporting a planet's worth of office paper. There were orks with origami guns, and paper-wasp tyranids, and eldar scooped up alongside a whole forest.
Where my mind was at with Paper Route was: "40K should be funny."
The second 40K TTRPG thing I made was for Kieron Gillen / Rowan Rook & Decard's DIE RPG. It was an adventure called "POWERSWORD PURGATORY"---a bunch of 30-year-olds, former regulars at ye-olde-FLGS, get Jumanji-ed into POWERSWORD (ie: not-Warhammer 40K) for one last hurrah.
With "POWERSWORD" I was trying to work through how I felt about the fandom, and 40K's place in culture now. Its drift from Thatcher-era DIY nihilism to corporate-IP neatness; its earnest embrace of "xenophobia is justified actually" power fantasies.
+
CHAPTER SERF is my third attempt. And my strongest, maybe?
Because it isn't a piss-take. There are jokes in it, of course. It wouldn't be 40K without jokes. But I am taking the Warhammer 40K setting seriously. I'm not being meta, nor winking at the reader.
I finally have something genuine to say, through all that grimdark set-dressing---about the weight of inhuman institutions crushing ordinary humanity, and what we make of the scraps soul left us:
Forcing a mother to betray her own son; Saving a labourer from lobotomising servitorhood; Arranging the funeral of a Space Marine's discarded lover;
+
Design-wise, I am most pleased with CHAPTER SERF's favour mechanic.
The Imperium of Man is an extremely feudal network of bickering fiefdoms, each with iron monopolies on different facets of far-future life.
It made sense to me, to link what stuff you can have with how much factions like you. Buddy with the Mechanicus and you get access to fancy bionics and lightning guns. Piss off the astropaths? No psychic powers for you.
This is essentially a gear list married to a faction / major NPC relationship map. I like it because it removes the need for players to worry about dollars and cents---a thing that makes no sense in most 40K TTRPG framings.
+
I hope people find CHAPTER SERF a fun idea. I am pretty proud of it! I particularly enjoyed writing the various vocations / professions---thinking up what sort of servants Space Marines would want / need.
I started making some sketches for it, but I can't really spare the time to make all the art that I need---so the PDF is text, only, I'm afraid.
I did the layout myself, in Google Slides, which I know is the least efficient way to do things---but hey! If that isn't 40K I don't know what is.

Wrangling Policy Update: Fandom Tags for Fan Games & Fanmade Web Series
Hello Fan Game and Fan Web Series Enthusiasts!
You may have already noticed that we've made some changes this year to how we handle fan games & fan web series. These fandoms can now be canonized as fandom tags! Some are on their own, while others are subtagged under the source fandom.
Prior to 2025, whenever a fan game or web series was tagged on a work, the fandom tag was made a synonym of the fandom that inspired it, regardless of how closely related the final product was to the originating material or how popular it became in its own right.
Earlier this year, the tag wrangling committee adjusted this policy and began canonizing fan games and web series that have at least 10 distinct works on AO3 by at least 10 unique creators and exist relatively independently from the source fandom, typically due to such things as an original plot and original characters.
Some of these changes are already visible on AO3, and new canonical fandom tags have been made related to Danganronpa, Pokemon, Five Nights at Freddy’s, Friday Night Funkin’, Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem, and Undertale. Others are still under discussion and may be canonized in the future.
Beneath the cut, you’ll find an extensive list of fandoms canonized under this updated policy over the last few months. We’ll also be following up on this post with two fandom-specific posts regarding how this change will impact Undertale, Deltarune, and Dangan Ronpa in particular.
FatT Fan Games Compilation!
I compiled all of the existing Friends at the Table fan games I could find into one list, and got a total of 35 games!!! My focus this time was on digital playable games to keep the scope manageable.
I compiled it on google sheets as that's what I am familiar with for sharing informative lists, but please let me know if you have other ideas/want to take it to the wiki/etc.
You can also check many of them out in this itch.io collection by @follypersist!
Thank you to @rozecrest for the inspo and @burins and @follypersist for helpful info sources!
