Variety is the spice of life

Each Dystopia Rising Branch has some freedom to add or adjust existing aspects of their event to best fit their Branch and Story. None of these will be dramatic changes from the Dystopia Rising LIVE Rule Book, but are still good to know heading into an Event.

Here are some of the local terms we use at DR: ANV!

Dystopia Rising: The Anvil

Local Terminology & Information

  • When a real fire is lit in an appropriate Fire Place or Fire Pit, one person must be designated as the "Fire Tender". The Fire Tender is not allowed to engage in any combat, and may not be targeted for combat, as their real world duty of maintaining the real fire safely takes priority.

  • We ask that players who bring their blasters for use at DR: ANV cap their FPS (Feet Per Second) to 120 FPS.

    We will have a chronometer on site at safety check.

    Blasters should remain semi-auto. (One trigger pull per single dart.)

  • New Players are dubbed “Sparks” in-character for their first 3 events.

    They will be signified by a bright orange necklace cord with a leather charm that is designed to stand out against most costuming.
    (Note: This differs exponentially from a non-combat orange headband.)

    Within their first three games, these new players may call “I’m too young to die!” when in bleed out during a module to prevent being killing blowed by a module. This does not prevent bleeding out as per the rulebook.

    This phrase should not be utilized by any player who attended more than 3 Dystopia Rising events.
