Howdy Survivors!
There was a significant announcement on the Dystopia Rising LARP National page, but in case you missed it, here’s a synopsis and some stuff to be prepared for.
Here’s the TL;DR:
LIT Update: Starting from January 1st, 2024, we're changing how we use LIT. Chapters won't add new items digitally, but LIT remains active, and existing stored items are safe.
Online Econ Play: Online events will still feature economic activities like crafting and farming. Instead of digital items, chapters will mail item cards to players.
New Ruleset: We're diligently working on a new ruleset, though it's a year away from full implementation. No XP or full Econ reset is planned.
Community Involvement: We're committed to transparency and community feedback throughout this process. Let's collaborate to make our game the best it can be.
What does this mean for our Texas player base?
At present, there won't be many immediate changes. The National team has released a statement to give the community a heads-up about upcoming changes that are over a year away from being put into action.
Following the National team's announcement on October 30, we are preparing to settle LIT inventories promptly over the next few months. Stay tuned for future updates!
For online games, the responsibility of mailing out cards in a timely manner will rest with the respective chapters. Online games will not have the ability to introduce new items into LIT. However, you can still utilize and remove items from your inventory as needed.
New DR LIVE Rule Set!
We are actively working on a new ruleset, and it's worth noting that there are no plans for an XP or full Econ reset during this implementation. The ruleset is expected to be rolled out in approximately a year or two, and more information will be shared as development progresses. While the development process appears to allow for feedback, the exact procedures for providing input are yet to be determined.
Our goal throughout is to continue our commitment to transparency and radical trust in the community. We are committed to maintaining open and frequent communication throughout this entire process to address any concerns y’all may have. For now, we are completely focused on our upcoming events: Emergence (Nov 10-12) and The Red Death, our Premiere event (Dec 8-10). The Dystopia Rising: Texas Storytelling team has put in extensive effort to craft exciting and captivating stories, and we're thrilled to continue delivering them to you.
