Brandon G. Osorio
Best known for developing the exciting new style of tabletop gaming exemplified by Dark Refuge: the Adventure Game, and the Time Shredders roleplaying game.
Since then he has authored eight novels including the philosophical science-fantasy epics God Swords: Saga of the Bladed Sun and Day Earth Died, and seven Dark Refuge sourcebooks for Dark Refuge Games.
Some of his proudest moments have been running the national Border Wars Campaign, bringing together hundreds of players from across the US, and being a guest speaker at Stony Brook University on the subjects of Independent Game Design, and Creating Compelling Villains.
Additional accomplishments include running the multi-
year national Draco Liberatti and Goblin Lands campaigns, as well as running biweekly events to benefit a children’s charity.
Brandon has also been part of the team that developed Wisdom Vault, designed to promote the undiscovered authors and creators.
In previous years, Wisdom Vault has released Ray Lamb’s poetry book Bring This Song to Others, and Allison Oakes Baby’s First Book of Euphemisms, which featured Brandon’s artwork.
This year Brandon is proud to be running the open beta for Seas of Kansas, an exciting new survival horror tabletop rpg designed for cinematic adventures set in a modern city being overcome by flood waters.
