Meet our Team!

We could not produce Dystopia Rising: Texas without the efforts and contributions of a fantastic team of Guides, Special Teams, and Storytellers. Guides and Storytellers are volunteers who, rather than spending their casting as shamblers, raiders, and merchants, help with the behind-the-scenes effort of organizing modules, signing item cards, overseeing character-vs.-character conflict, and answering questions. They are a team of amazing, dedicated, and wonderful people who do a lot to make your experience and our game better.

Guide applications go up before every season in June, and on an as-needed basis throughout the season. Guides are expected to do a minimum of 4 hours casting shifts, and miss no more than two games locally per season.
