Lexicon & additional Mechanics

While we follow the core rulebook and other official National Dystopia Rising produced content, you may see a few rule and skill calls that are unique to DR:TX as well. You can find our published list of custom local mechanics and skills currently in play, available here on our website in advance of each event.

The National DR Team has also released a number of official supplementary design documents you can find available in the links below, and they update on the DR Community Server on Discord with new information as it is released for live play.

Lexicon & Errata

  • Lexicon - This is a list of common abilities, keywords, and skills that don’t really exist in the DR Corebook, but that you might see in play in any networked game.

    • Updated on 11/14/2022

  • FAQ & Errata - The DR Rulebook, much like many gaming publications, has some flaws and mistakes in it. Companies often can’t or won’t reprint a book once it’s been released for final printing, so we need to rely on Errata and FAQ docs to fill in the gaps for mistakes in the book. This page collects any major clarifications that have been made at a national level.
