Remember that phrase, “do the dumb?” Then Redline is for you. Do you like watching people play Cans but think “you know, this would be better if there were a chance for them to be mechanically blinded for this decision?” We have your answer. Do you ever lament that there’s just not enough drugs in Dystopia Rising? Well, get ready for a whole new reason to lament. Redline is here.

Last week, we announced that we would not have the Trade Agreement between Bravado and Requiem in effect during Honor’s Fall. Some players came to us with well-thought out opinions and requested we re-examine this, and so we’ve changed that policy. The Trade Agreement remains in effect for Honor’s Fall, however, we’ve placed some restrictions on specific items local to Bravado.

As promised after the July Event, Dystopia Rising New York has made some changes to its local mechanics regarding research. Specifically, we’re changing the Library ZoM from play, and clarifying how to use our Research in Requiem local mechanic.

As Honor’s Fall approaches, we’re pleased to offer opportunities for additional entertainers and vendors at our Bacchanal celebration. Anyone attending can apply for a spot, and we’ll offer the opportunity until we run out of space.

As we expect a large number of travelers for Honor’s Fall, we have some rules clarifications specific to this event. This page supplements our Local Mechanics.

This is Part 2 of our logistics announcements, where we talk about kitchen use and food preparation. Please see our Basic Information for details about parking, fires, and other important details; however, the information below trumps the information on that page. (Check out Part 1 for details on sleeping arrangements)

Welcome to Part 1 of our logistics announcements, where we talk about the campsite in general, and specifically where you’ll be sleeping. Please see our Basic Information for details about parking, fires, and other important details; however, the information below (particularly in regards to Med Sleep) trumps the information on that page.

We’re expecting our biggest game ever this August, and we want to make sure everyone is prepared and comfortable. To do this, we’re encouraging our players to take advantage of the warm weather and camp in tents, particularly if they can bring a genre-appropriate tent to enhance immersion.

With over 160 players (and counting!) for Honor’s Fall, we’re interested in guest guides joining our team. We’re open to guest guides in all positions - coord, ops, rules and settings - but are only looking for individuals with some guide experience.

With a significant number of people and limited kitchen space, we’re thrilled to have Christopher Malec providing a meal plan for Honor’s Fall. We’re offering a full plan from Thursday night to Sunday morning for $60.

At Dystopia Rising New York, we offer Early Bird benefits for people who pre-register and buy their tickets early. Early Bird benefits don’t cost anything extra… you just have to sign-up during the Early Bird period. Early Bird Tickets for Honor’s Fall go on sale tonight, and continue through Friday, July 1st. What do you get for the Honor’s Fall Early Bird? A few things…

As our game of the year, we’re going all out for Honor’s Fall… a four-day event with live entertainment, extra build, and extra things for your characters like prints and festering crystals. We’ve got so many perks that it’s going to take a full announcement just to cover them all!

As you might recall, the moment Jones met his end, a mysterious creature (called by some the “False Idol”) strode through the town, forcing the Faithful to follow them into the gravemind. At that time, another phenomenon happened: all Faith powers (Faithful anomaly skills and items that require them or their PFAs to use) ceased to function. This condition still afflicts Requiem and the Fold: for the past month, no one has been able to call upon the powers of their Faith.

Our June game has see a tremendous increase in pre-regs… we’re about to hit 75 over ten days out… and we want to make this our biggest game yet. To help make this happen, we’re offering rewards if we make all our pre-reg goals! We’ve already hit the first one… maybe we can hit 100 pre-regs and have something waiting for you in each of your packets.

We’re looking to give away 16 Opt-Out, Full Build tickets to our August Premiere Event, to people who can entertain, cook, or craft. Are you interested?

If you played in our “Train Job” mod last April, you enjoyed the prototype for our “Special Event” format. A Special Event is a mod with enhanced engagement, where the players participate ina dramatic event in a controlled environment. Based on the response to the Train Job, we’ll use this format more and more in the future.

We’re always fine-tuning how we run and organize Dystopia Rising New York. Before you sign-up for shifts on the database, it’s important to know what options are available… particularly if you take advantage of our Early-Bird tickets. Generally, we want to reward people who sign up early, as it helps us prepare for the event better.

Come Sunday morning, the air was warm and still, the lake calm, and Requiem was quiet. But the blood that soaked the muddy ground told a story of the war that had raged and ended just a few hours prior, as the survivors dealt with the threat of the Jones Collective once and for all. But victory came with a price, and with Requiem balanced on the razor’s edge, what comes now that Jones is gone?
