Certified Safety, Inc.

What Certified Safety, Inc. does

Certified Safety, Inc. is a private entity founded in 2001 and headquartered in League City, Texas, with firmographic records indicating 501-1,000 employees. However, all primary-source evidence on the company's registered domain (certifiedsafety.net) describes an unrelated activity: the domain is used as web hosting for the Guild of San Marcos, an informal hobbyist role-playing game community founded in 2011 that runs 7th Sea 1st Edition tabletop campaigns at conventions.

The Guild of San Marcos operates a phpBB-powered forum at certifiedsafety.net/phpbb with 144 registered members and approximately 20,370 cumulative posts. Its activities consist of organizing and narrating multiplayer tabletop RPG campaigns — Heroes of Altamira (2011-2026, now complete), Rogues of Canguine (Year 2, ongoing), and planned arcs Schemers of Numa and Legends of Theah — all set in the fictional world of Theah in 1668. The site is volunteer-run, with no commercial products, no pricing, no headcount beyond informal organizers, and no formal corporate structure.

There is a clear discrepancy between the firmographic record (oil & energy / chemical construction, 501-1,000 employees) and the actual content served from the company's domain (a volunteer RPG fan community). The source data explicitly identifies the Guild of San Marcos as 'not a commercial enterprise' and notes the domain is used as web hosting for this community. Any investment-relevant conclusions should treat these as effectively separate entities sharing a web property.

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Direct peers

• Pathfinder Society (by Paizo): Paizo's organized-play program for Pathfinder, running structured campaigns at conventions worldwide — the closest analogue to the Guild of San Marcos's convention-based living-campaign model around a single RPG system.
• D&D Adventurers League (by Wizards of the Coast): Wizards of the Coast's organized-play program for Dungeons & Dragons, running coordinated campaign content at conventions globally — structurally identical to the Guild's convention-campaign model, just at vastly larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Free League Publishing: Swedish RPG publisher behind multiple ENnie-winning tabletop systems (Tales from the Loop, Mörk Borg, The Electric State); comparable as a publisher whose fan communities run convention-based play.
• Pelgrane Press: Indie RPG publisher known for narrative-focused tabletop systems (GUMSHOE family) with active convention play; comparable as a small-press publisher supporting enthusiast convention communities.
• Modiphius Entertainment: Publisher of multiple licensed tabletop RPGs (Achtung! Cthulhu, Star Trek Adventures, etc.) with active convention organized-play communities — analogous operating model of publisher + fan-driven convention play.
• Green Ronin Publishing: Independent RPG publisher behind multiple tabletop systems (including earlier editions of 7th Sea-adjacent and d20-era titles) and organized-play programs — comparable as an established publisher running convention-based living campaigns.
• Catalyst Game Labs: Publisher of the Shadowrun RPG with an established organized-play program (Shadowrun: Future Proof) — directly comparable operating model of publisher + convention-running living campaign.
• Cubicle 7: Publisher of multiple RPG lines including Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and The One Ring, with associated organized-play communities — comparable publisher-plus-convention-community model.

Others

• John Wick Presents: The original creator/publisher of 7th Sea (now consolidated under Chaosium) — relevant historical/IP connection to the Guild's chosen game system rather than a current competitor.
• Chaosium: Current publisher and rights-holder for the 7th Sea IP that the Guild's entire community is built around; a strategic partner/dependency rather than a direct competitor.
