As many of you know, November puts a wrap on our year at Dystopia Rising New York. In 2023, we gained so many new players, we’ve seen old faces return, and we’ve built up our game to be one of the biggest in the network. We absolutely could not have done this without you.

Read MoreThe Vivisection aka the Torture Shack
It's October and at Dystopia Rising New York that means it's time for the annual tradition of The Feast Of Flesh. Each year our team puts on an undead studded extravaganza for players to participate in that culminates in zombies tearing chunks of player sacrificed meat from the doors of cabins in a post apocalyptic mockery of trick or treating. The "easiest" way to get that pound of flesh is by enduring your own vivisection at the hand of Zodiac and his students.

Read MoreFoundations: What to Expect
With the dust settling from Honor's Fall the town of Requiem looks towards the future. Years of conflict have taken a toll on the settlement but with a newly found peace it is time to build new foundations.
Read MoreHonor's Fall Recap
August 18, 2023 The sun rose Sunday morning on a quiet and exhausted town. The chaos of the night before had settled, those who survived slept or stood watch outside the Wilted Rose as Patron Families and Wards were named, last minute deals were brokered and those who would stand at the front of the next year in Requiem enjoyed a quiet drink. Where does Requiem go from here and how does it rebuild?

Read MoreAfter Parties!
We have our first After-Party, and it’s a great example of how to use the zoning rules to create appropriate content for an After-Party. Remember, while this example includes sexuality, the zoning rules are not limited to risque material!
Read MoreThe Bacchanal
Friday night of Honor’s Fall is the Bacchanal… a big party before everyone makes final preparations for Saturday night’s conflicts. With music, food, vendors, and all the bigwigs in attendance, there’s plenty to do, and opportunities for both role-play and for your character to make a bunch of Wagers.
Read MoreHow To Throw A Party
This year at Honor’s Fall, we’re adding a “new” tradition to our Game of the Year: After the Bacchanal, we’ll encourage players to host After Parties. An After Party is a player-created event after the Bacchanal, meant to keep the party going and enhance the experience for everyone involved. Since this is a new event, we wanted to make sure you had guidance on how to organize your After Party.
Read MoreHow To Get A Head At Honor's Fall
Honor’s Fall isn’t just our game of the year, it’s also the most important event of the year in character as well. From sunset to sunrise, the people of Requiem hunt each other and settle scores - but how are you supposed to play this?
Read MoreFamily Politics
Every year at Honor’s Fall, the politics of Requiem shuffle as the 13 Families struggle for power - and take each other’s heads. Being a Family Head means being hunted during Honor’s Fall, and the result of that hunt influences who controls Requiem and the Fold for the next year. The Treaty of the Fold lays out the requirements for Honor’s Fall but leaves a lot of room for interpretation. However, we want to make out-of-character expectations clear, as well as clarify the in-character game.

With General admission tickets now on sale for Honor’s Fall and over 100 participants already signed up, it’s time to make sure everyone gets fed. Brought to you by Christopher Malec, our meal plans are “grab and go” so that you never miss out on food. Here’s
Read MoreDogs of War Recap
It began in the dark and rain, it ended with a literal bang. The people of the Fold started on the outskirts of Requiem and fought inch by bloody inch until they had reclaimed their town. But while the Nostra army lies defeated, their leader, Lupa, still has cards she has yet to play, and with Honor’s Fall looming, her story is far from over.
