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 hands of Zodiac and his students.
The Vivisection (also colloquially called the torture shack) is a fully immersive attack on the senses that pushes the limits of not just the characters, but players as well. The experience is designed to be unsettling, loud, disorienting, gross and electrifying while adhering to an opt in and opt out safety standard.
Players can expect to experience:
horrific smells
gratuitous amounts of fake blood
scenes of rot and decay
mild electricity
flashing lights
claustrophobia
smoke machines
eating potentially gross food
physical challenges
puzzles and many more.
While the experience is meant to push your limits we take safety and comfort seriously and utilize a consent form that allows players to opt out of specific ingredients of the module as well as potential triggers. In addition, safe words are used during the experience to allow players to end the scene immediately with no negative detriment to the character for bowing out.
A full potential ingredients list will be provided to players on the consent form which will be available Friday evening at Ops and the Post Office for you to review well before the experience is set to begin. Accommodations will be made, but understand that the experience is designed to be had with all of the design elements working together and removal of too many will impact the length and intensity of the module.
Schedule:
The Vivisections will begin late Friday night for those who are adventurous enough to try their luck with the most extreme experiences and continue late in the day on Saturday before a break to sink the morgue and then continuing again afterwards until the late evening.
The prize for enduring the experience? A pound of your own flesh to do with as you please and contributing to the unknown multi-year project of the Zodiac Collective.
