Dystopia Rising New York announcements will be posted on our site, emailed to players, and printed off for you packets.

In addition to the announcements we’ll release later today, we have two time-sensitive announcements.

As we finalize our preparations for Honor’s Fall, we have a couple of opportunities for you. Specifically, opportunities to beat up your friends with foam weapons. If you like trying to kill your friends’ characters in a consequence free environment, check out these opportunities.

The hardest thing about armor is actually wearing it. Our physreps can often be hot, uncomfortable, and hamper movement. Since Requiem sees a lot more hit-and-run tactics than standing battles, we wanted to come up with a new armor where the phys-rep was actually light and comfortable. Thus… the Fast Mover Vest.

This Honor’s Fall, on Sunday morning, we will have a special reward for all the Family Heads… the High Lord Executioner will give them each a Memento… a large metal coin that we hope will be a new mainstay of the setting. Inspired by the John Wick movies, Memento will represent a different sort of economy in Requiem - one of favors and backed up by honor amongst thieves.

Requiem is hard on religion… we know this. So when we put in our request for blueprints for Honor’s Fall, we wanted to make sure we got players of priests and other faithful something good. And they gave it to us - at Honor’s Fall, you’ll see the first of a new sort of print: Benedictions.

At Dystopia Rising New York, we have a pre-game tradition called #readytoreq, which is a hashtag campaign where you can earn up to 40 CAPs (enough for a mind refresh meal) by posting hype about the upcoming event. With us nearing 200 players for Honor’s Fall, we wanted to do something special. For Honor’s Fall… you can earn up to 80 CAPs… enough for two mind-refreshes!

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.
