Dystopia Rising

Description

Welcome to Dystopia Rising: Massachusetts

We’re a fully immersive live-action roleplay game about who you are after the world ends. This isn’t a game about the apocalypse; that was years before your time. You aren’t even sure how humanity died, and what’s left in this world certainly isn’t human. Instead, Dystopia Rising is about what happens after the apocalypse — it’s about rebuilding, survival, and what a new world in the wastelands might be like when it’s shaped by your decisions.

But beyond the LARP, Dystopia Rising is an international group of nerds that represent a broad range of individuals. In the greater DR community, you will find people across the spectrum of gender, sexuality, and national identity, make new lifelong friends with people who were strangers just a few days before, and travel across the country to try out other DR branches in places you never thought you might go. We like to think of ourselves as a community that games, not a gaming community — and we want you to be a part of it.

Sound fun? Believe us, it is, and it’s life changing.

Event Details

Dystopia Rising (DR) is more than just a game — it’s an immersive, multi-platform experience. You can dive into it as a tabletop RPG, gather your friends for collaborative storytelling, or explore the world through its novel series. Curious? You can learn more through the Genre Information link or by visiting Eschaton Media, the publisher behind it all.

But the heart of DR is its most iconic form: a weekend-long live action roleplay (LARP) set in a gritty, post-apocalyptic world.

You'll spend the weekend in an in-game survivor settlement, fully immersed in a world of danger and discovery. Fight off the undead, shape the local economy, help (or hinder) fellow survivors, and live out your own unique story — all while leaving the modern world behind.

DR is a licensed game system, which means your character isn’t locked to just one event. You can travel and play at any official DR branch across the country, with a unified character database tracking your progress wherever you go. That means every event is a chance to grow your character, meet new people, and continue your story across a national network of players.
