Local Policies

While we follow the Core rulebook and other official dystopia rising content, there are a few changes or add-ons we’ve added to better suit our chapter and local community. These Policies are ones that our Chapter has put into play for our events. These only apply to the Dystopia Rising: PNW Chapter - Remember when visiting other chapters, they will have their own set of Rules and Policies.
