Welcome to the Dawn

Hi, I’m Tony Garcia the creator of Fractured Brain Studios.

I’ve been playing and running RPGs for over 40 years. My main goal with Fractured Brain Studios is to make FUN games.

Through Dystopian Dawn, I want to build a community of indie creators and showcase their works in each book. Contact me if you’d like to join the family!

Dystopian Dawn is the “flagship” game but I have several more board and card games in the works!

Player Testimonials!

“It’s like Fallout and Skyrim had a baby raised in Borderlands!”


"The TTRPG world has become an abysmal one, where everything from the core books to setting materials and options are parceled out into safe little rainbow morsels of balance and engineered sparkle slop to be vomited at the TTRPG community via sponsored content creators until an entire hobby devolves into a gelatinous cube of grey goo with a subscription model and no game survives session 0. Dystopian Dawn is the exact opposite of all that and that's why I enjoy it so much."
