Dystopia Rising is a role playing game that takes place in a post apocalyptic world, long after the fall of civilization to a worldwide zombie plague. This world, many generations after the Fall, takes place in a new dark age where the remains of lost cultures linger in a world without direction. No global governments survived, no armed police to serve and protect, no organized educational systems, and no guidance to pull the world out of the spiral it has fallen into. The world is a dark, dangerous place where humanity is as much of a threat to existence as the undead horde is.
There are, however, some glimmers of light in the darkness of this grim future. On occasion a person manages to hold onto their moral compass, and uses it to navigate in this hopeless world. Sometimes a small spark of humanity shows itself in the most irradiated of survivors trying to piece together the mysteries lost to he wastelands. You may fi nd a new purpose or establish a role in someone else’s life, and because of that you fi nd it hard to simply go it alone.
Dystopia Rising is a game that is not centered on the undead. It is a game that is centered on what becomes of the human condition when forced into an environment where survival could very well be your only concern. Do you decide to become a ruthless warlord, an amoral sociopath, or a monster much uglier inside than any zombie is on the outside? Perhaps you take the high road as a nameless wanderer, find higher purpose in faith, or do everything you can to force civility into a chaotic world. No one can tell you what you will do once the bombs drop and the dead rise. No one will guide you but your own conscience.
The world died many generations ago, and it is your turn to build the new world from the ashes.

Dystopia Rising is a game setting and a game system. Dystopia Rising is what is known as a contact safe LARP that takes place in a post apocalyptic world. At a Dystopia Rising event, each guest portrays the role of a person who is existing in a bizarre future setting where large governments have collapsed, the nuclear option was used, and zombies are a painful (and very dangerous) truth. Dystopia Rising is a mature themed game involving fake violence, blood, emotional situations, and mature themes. ‘LARP’ as a term stands for Live Action Role Playing. If you just look at the words that make up the term, you can easily see what the term refers to. Live action, instead of descriptive, means you act and do the actions your persona would do. Role playing, much like acting, refers to the undertaking of a fictional persona other than your own for the duration of an event. The system we provide allows for an immersive environment where ‘what you see is what you get’. Dystopia Rising is a mature rated game where aspects of the world are not appropriate for all players. Our game rating is NC 17 with personal waivers for all members over the age of 18, and parental waivers for members under 18 years of age.
