Brian Neff Roleplaying Volunteer Magnate

I've been GMing games for over eleven years now, and it's been one of the most influential and important things in my life. I started, like most folks, on Dungeons and Dragons, but decided in the late 2000s that I wanted to trade in my Grid Mats and High Fantasy for some Gritty Realism and Indie flair. That's when I fell in love with the Indie RPG movement. Games like Ron Edward's Sorcerer and Jason Morningstar's Durance have always held my interest as an effective way to build and tell stories. Because of this, I started the Indie RPG Corps in 2013 (At Texicon!) a group of gamers dedicated to good storytelling and immersive play. While you'll still catch me slaying the occasional dragon or two, I mostly stick to protecting my holding in Apocalypse World, saving the universe from existential threats in Eclipse Phase, or generally being a buffoon in Fiasco.

Texicon has helped me meet some of the nicest, best, and brightest people I know. Last year I got involved with DFW Nerd Night, a group of people who play games in order to raise money for various charity organizations. The charity work they do helps people in real and impactful ways, not the least of which has been me. Currently I'm getting myself into the gaming industry as a game designer, with my first project coming out (hopefully) by the end of the year. I've designed an in depth flow chart that ends with lots of question marks and the word "Profit".

I would love to play or talk gaming with you, so if you see me, be sure to tap me on the shoulder and tell me what you think.Brian recently was accepted as a world designer for the D6xD6 game system! Now you too can role play in his world.
