Serenity Role Playing Game is a science fiction tabletop role-playing game released in 2005 and set in the universe of the movie Serenity and the television series Firefly. It was produced by Margaret Weis Productions, Ltd, and its mechanics were the first iteration of the Cortex System. It won an Origins Award for Best RPG in 2005.[1] Margaret Weis's license came to an end on January 31, 2011.[2]

In February 2013, Margaret Weis Productions announced they now had a license to produce a game based on the Firefly TV series, this time with the rights to the characters who appeared in the series rather than those who appeared in the film.[3] At Gencon 2013, a preview of the system entitled Gaming in the 'Verse was offered for sale both at GenCon and for a limited time as a PDF.[4] In 2014, the Firefly Role-Playing Game was released, followed by four game supplements in 2014 and 2015.
