About – Serpent King Games

Serpent King Games is run by:

Serpent King Games’ first project is Dragon Warriors, but more great games are in the works. Keep an eye on our Blog and Socials for regular updates.

Dragon Warriors

Dragon Warriors is a classic fantasy roleplaying game with a fan-base around the world. It is based on a game system that’s fast to learn, intuitive to play, and satisfying and atmospheric in its results, whether you’re a long-time gamer or a first-time player. The jewel of Dragon Warriors and the reason for its longevity is Legend, a game-background based on the cultures of the medieval world. It is rich in myth, folklore, magic and superstition, built on a thousand-year history and populated with memorable characters, fearsome foes, treasure and glory. The game has a flavour unlike any other, combining the sense of history with the intensity of the greatest fantasy sagas.

Ian Sturrock

Ian has been playing tabletop roleplaying games for nearly forty years, and designing them professionally for twenty. He designed the award-winning Conan and Slaine RPGs for Mongoose Publishing, as well as working on lines such as Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, The Esoterrorists, and of course Dragon Warriors. He has a PhD in Motivation for play and lectures in game design, at Teesside University.

Dragon Warriors has been his favourite fantasy RPG since 1985, though occasionally Amber Diceless comes close. In true polygeek manner, he’s also almost unbearably enthusiastic about boardgames, miniature wargames, and live roleplaying games.

Brunhilde Przibram Sturrock

Brunhilde has been playing RPGs since she was 4 and LARPing for the same a mount of time. She has been writing for them for several years including for the Conan RPG and Dragon Warriors. She is also currently writing her first novel and has recently returned to university to complete her Film and Media BA.

Rowan McLaughlin

Rowan has been playing TTRPGs for over 30 years. They got hooked on the original versions Cyberpunk and Runequest. And now mainly play Glorantha 13th age and, of course Dragon Warriors. They are also a keen LARPer, board game geek and SF and fantasy book / film nerd. They been teaching through play for the last 30 years and have invented many games and written many short stories as part of this work.

Until recently they were running their own forest school but have taken a break from that in autumn 2024 to work for Serpent King Games on admin, editing and social media etc.

They are also currently writing a science fiction novel / RPG crossover. More on this in a blog post soon.
