Osiris is many things. An annual tabletop roleplaying conference, a collective of fun-loving geeks, a medium for creative expression and kinship - the list goes on. However, it is also one of our very favorite things; an acronym.

Since the inception of the project nearly 10 years ago, the name Osiris has stood for "One-Shot Immersive Roleplaying Invitational Series." This is a representation of the project's core idea: what if we got a ton of experienced Game Masters together to each run their own short, one-shot campaigns during a single weekend?

This concept was created with the goal of allowing players to experience a vast diversity of campaign settings, playgroup compositions, and unique roleplaying styles - all in just a few short days. In addition, and potentially most important of all, this core idea was meant to encourage the collective celebration of what we believe to be this hobby's core principle: the creative expression and ingenuity of those we play with.

Well, as it turns out, this concept ends up being a pretty darn good time.
