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.

I'm used to almost never seeing black transmascs out in the open especially on here so HIIIII
“op read homestuck and you can tell” I did not I just use words
nothing against homestuck but my impression is that homestuck utilized a lot of established literary conventions quite successfully and then half the people who read homestuck as teens went on to never read anything else and now think that homestuck invented half the english canon
"you can't be a trans boy and like your boobs/be gender non conforming!!!"
me:
sigh ...you all have the reblog pass
I really hate that the "we need to get weirder and make weirder art!!!" got adopted by people who morally panic over a pup hood being worn at pride/furry convention and or harass artists offline for...making weird art?
did you really analyze that thing? Did you? or did you have an initial response to that thing that was different than others and you held that opinion as an evidence supported analysis of the work? did you really think about the thing critically, or is your analysis of thing based of your personal choices and biases? was the story devoid of all logic and reason or are you upset because someone did or said something you wouldn't? do you really think that game system lacks a variety of choice and complexity or are you upset because it didn't allow you to become Vishnu at level 1?
dude i think one of the worst parts of transitioning from man to woman (beyond y'know the horrors of the world) is like having friends who are "progressive" that then just start spewing some of the most misogynistic shit right in front of you cause they just don't see you as a woman.
like fucking going on a thirty minute rant about how much they hate vtubers so fucking much, frothing at the moth genuine rage about them, and their entire argument could be boiled down to "I hate them because they are women and I think that they don't deserve the success they have because they are women" / "vtubers are only popular because they have boobs"
or having to hear them complain about booktok and romantasy in the same shit ass way that Victorian men complained about the popularity of sensationalist novels amongst women. like bro, you entire argument relies on the idea that women are stupid, you get that right.
or even just hanging out in a discord call with someone while they're working and they just complain about customers all day, then they have a negative reaction with a woman and it becomes "jesus fucking christ women are stupid" and "dumb bitch"
its just so disheartening cause like, how am I supposed to hang out with you when you say that shit uncritically
teeth?
im open to suggestions for more of these! i wish i had more time for the concept this week :/
