UDS Studios LLC is an independent game and book publisher that brings storytelling and tabletop role-playing together. The studio writes books and creates RPGs built around their worlds, aiming to offer engaging play without the usual reliance on dice. Instead, its games use custom-styled French-suited poker or blackjack decks, with hand-drawn designs created in Italy. UDS Studios focuses on rules that are quick to learn while still offering depth for tabletop players.

Its projects include Grim Fronteira, the studio’s first book, which was in Kickstarter pre-launch at the time of the website’s publication, and The Trader God, a forthcoming project described as a physics-accurate book. UDS Studios also plans to publish poker-card decks, including cards connected to its gaming approach. Alongside its products, the studio invites writers to contribute to its literary projects and shares updates, creative ideas, and development insights through Substack. It states that its stories and artwork are made by people, with AI used by some contributors only for grammar checks.
