Dystopia Rising: Pennsylvania Dystopia Rising Pennsylvania is an immersive LARP set in a post-apocalyptic, zombie infested world. Dystopia Rising is a fully immersive, boffer-style larp.

Dystopia Rising (DR) is an immersive, weekend-long larp experience (live-action roleplay) where you play as your very own survivor character, working with others in your town and across the Wastes to survive in a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies, raiders, and other threats that threaten the life you've tenuously established and the lives of those you hold near and dear. From Friday night to

Sunday afternoon you will be immersed in the world of the Wastes, collecting resources to survive, fending off hordes of the undead, and connecting with those around you who remind you what you're fighting for. Not sure what those words mean? Message us or check out our website for more information about larp and the world of DR! www.DystopiaRisingPA.com

BITES the clown is totally a raider and those pies she's been throwing definitely have glass in them.

Jug Coyote's unveiling a new ride. apparently it'll turn your whole world upside down.

I heard they have some kind of wierd toothy dog in their animal acts... apparently it sings?

Josie swears they saw one of the mimes dragging greasy bags simply labeled "clown" towards the food stands.

14/11/2024

I’d been makin' my way down the Cinder Trail, like they told me to- the Restorers, or whatever they called themselves. Said town wasn’t safe enough right now to live there. Unstable earth or somethin’. It was gettin’ dark out, almost dark as the mines. The last pitterin' smolders along the edge of the road was my only light among the trees. I was ‘bout ready to say my final prayers, thinkin’ I was lost out there. ‘Til I heard it.

The soft sounds of accordion music dancin’ through the bare trees. It was light, like it was bouncin’ along the wind. Thought I was losin’ it and finally hearin’ the Beat for myself. But it grew louder and louder, and under the dancing accordion I heard the sonic pulsin’ sound of an organ, poundin’ beneath my feet. Little bells joined the accordion sounds, like tiny cymbals, twinklin’ like the stars- and as I looked up to the stars, I seen ‘em. The big, shinin’ lights, beamin’ into the sky. So I followed the light.

Breaking through the treeline, I first saw a ransacked, dilapidated church, one like my mama said she used to go to back home. It was quiet for a moment, while I looked through them broken stain-glass windows, vines crawlin’ out them like worms from the dirt. I barely could hear my own thoughts while lookin’ at it- nothin’ but silence, and my chest was tight. But beyond that melancholic temple was a sight I ain’t ever seen before. Bright lights twinkled on caravans in all sorts of colors, flicking on and off like lightnin’ bugs. Metal rides and twirling sounds all surrounded a massive striped tent in the middle- it was torn, and I could only see bright light comin’ out of it. So, I took a closer look.

I stepped my way through the big gate readin’ “Circus” on it, watched folks walk around on legs twice as long as mine, before I found myself standing before the striped tent. It was even bigger up close, the music loud now in my ears. I peeled back the flap they used as a door, and looked inside. And they all looked back at me, eyes like the flashing lights.

“Welcome to the Cirque, darling.”

Greatings Hazers: We are so happy to have hosted you in our little mining camp on the edge of nowhere. We have had thrills and chills and no small about of cannibalism and fire, but now the winter has come to Haze Hollow. So while the upheavals of earth and downfalls of snow make the Cinder Trail and the camp inaccessible we want to take you all on a little trip for a few months of online play to someplace new and maybe stop to see some sights along the way. Don't worry Hazers we will return to our plucky little camp, and all your friends from the Coyne Company, the Union of Redstar's, and those lovable scamps the Wardens. More teasers and information about our online setting will be coming and released during the online games. We can't wait for you to experience the wild range of horror and wonder Post-apocalyptic Appalachia holds.

That said tickets for our November ONLINE game go up Thursday, Nov 14th at 2pm!!

Plain text from image: Good Evening local residents of the greater Haze Hollow , Pennsyltucky, and Adjoining Burrow areas, We hope this message finds you in good health.

Due to ongoing seismic activity felt over the region Local Restorator Sects has started a temporary relocation effort. We understand how much this effort may impact individuals still being affected by the ongoing attacks from the watchers of the sacred flame but this effort is put forward with community health in mind.

There are things going on which have never happened before in this region. As such extensive testing must be done and we do not wish to endanger public health while they are going on. It's a bit of a travel for most but we are opening one of our main bases of operation to the public as a relief effort. If you don't have a means of travel we have worked out an arrangement with the local diesel jock group -The Dead Birds- to help with travel efforts.

We have more than enough room to house a rotating supply of citizens comfortably both in our facility as well as the camp grounds that surround it.

We are sorry again for this inconvenience

Yours in safety
Head Researcher of The Restorators Lockie Daniels

Please join me in welcoming Ken Miyaguchi to the team as DR:PA'a new Story Director. He will be working with Guzzo and Orresta to bring you some amazing things in the coming season!!

Plain text from image:
Hi all! I'm Ken, you may have seen me trundling around the wastes as the player of Isaac Rolland.

I've been playing DR since summer 2021 and you might know me for infecting you with Miner's Malady and pulling you into the dark Appalachian horrors of Pennsyltucky as a writer for Haze Hollow and Luxury. Outside of DR I’m a student of game design and burgeoning book dragon, hoping to collect a library of my own and I've been writing and telling collaborative stories for over twenty years including professionally GMing ttrpgs since 2017.

I'm so grateful for this opportunity and look forward to telling all sorts of stories with the team.

24/10/2024

Inferno
This call is used inside of any structure that is currently a flame. Every 5 seconds individuals inside of said area will have their maximum body lowered temporarily. This down surge can be increased over prolonged exposure. In addition while inside of said area the user is under the effect of blinding.

-Fixed by-: Moving outside the effects range. Maximum body count can be resorted with once use of a basic medical skill.

Immolate Undead
The only time this call is used is due to an environmental effect or a group of zed are in the range of a Bloater exploding. They will make the all “By my voice: all undead ignite” This effect causes all npc undead to move/ strike faster, changes their damage to body damage, and causes the zed to downsurge in health. Upon killing an immolated zed once it drops it immediately pops causing an “area of effect 5 body” call.
If a Fulldead is in range of this effect they take agony for 10 seconds and can not defend themselves. However their next following strike causes body damage.

Breach
This call is used to represent the ground cracking open and having something spawn/ crawl up/ leak out from a designated spot. The voice call of “breach” in game is the sound of hearing the ground crack. The guide that calls the breach is considered to be the breach point should they have their arm raised in the air or they place a marker representing the point. With use of basic foraging or salvaging they are able to access these points and find materials unearthed from the breach. Breach points are only open for a limited time before they close.

Fissure
See breach description. Fissure points start with a Knockback 10 and unlike normal breaches they will not close on their own and will act as a constant spawning point until closed. Fissure points are known to have even more rare materials located at their point.

How to fix a Fissure Point:
2 people are needed at minimal to close. 10 min must be spent roleplaying attempting to close up the hole. If both people have basic Agriculture or artisan or any mix of the two they may attempt to close said hole after 5 min or rp.

Descend
This call is used by guides at breach points to denote an individual being attacked from below to get dragged underground (and removed to another play space). This skill can be avoided by players but due to the nature of how it is happening the player will sustain a mangled limb upon success ripping away from what attempted to drag them.

SinkHole
This effect kicks off if Fissure Points are not closed. They have an expanding effect over time. Inside a sinkhole a player's movement is slowed. Descent turns from a single target ability to a Area of effect or By my voice ability able to hit multiple targets.
