Join an ongoing story

Join us for an immersive experience in the PNW at Dystopia Rising: The Anvil. A nationally networked Live-Action Roleplaying Event that takes place centuries after the apocalypse.

Before the fall, our “modern day,” is an age of myth. Civilization collapsed, history was forgotten, and only fragments of the old world remain.

Now, survivors walk among the ruins: facing heinous raiders, shambling undead, and worse yet… each other. Strains of humanity have changed, their bloodlines warped and adapted by centuries of disease, radiation, and desperation.

Will you fight tooth and nail for power and survival, or strive to build something worth saving from the ashes?

There’s only one way to find out.
