A collection of games by Mark Borland.

My name is Mark Borland. I’ve been playing family games since I was old enough to roll dice. I discovered Dungeons & Dragons at age twelve, which sparked a lifelong passion for storytelling, world-building, and RPGs. Since then, I’ve played nearly every major role-playing game system ever made and competed in tabletop war gaming tournaments. Over the years, that love evolved into teaching narrative design and sharing storytelling techniques with others, including serving as a panelist at Denver Comic Con. In 2004, I began my journey in emergency and disaster services starting in wildland and structural firefighting, search and rescue, and law enforcement support before moving into emergency management. Since then, I’ve worked across local, state, and federal levels, from tabletop exercises to large-scale disaster operations. With over 20 years of experience and deployments to more than 40 major federal declarations nationwide, I’ve learned the value of leadership, resilience, and communication in crisis Now, I’m bringing both worlds together—merging my passion for emergency management with storytelling, gaming, and education to inspire, train, and empower others to think strategically, act decisively, and adapt under pressure.
