Local Mechanics

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.

  • Every 30 mins, while maintaining a safe OOG fire pit, one (1) designated Firewatcher may call "By my voice Heal 5."

  • As per the Core Rule Book, ”When a persona you are portraying has reached 0 Resolve, they are unable to use items that cost or lose Resolve, unable to use skills that use Resolve as their expendable resource, and unable to use mechanics that require a certain value of available Resolve to use…Once the character gains the Fracture, that characters Resolve returns to 1.”

    This state is referred to as being “Shattered” at Dystopia Rising PNW. Being “Shattered” is a Status that is to be noted on your Character Sheet once reaching it. It has no additional effects outside of the Core Rule Book, but is noted for clarity of a Character’s State of Being during play.

  • When using the Secondary Effect in the skill “Basic Enhanced Movement”, Players make a Verbal Call depending on if they are using the skill to flee by themselves or with a target in bleedout.


    ”Escape” is Verbally Called when fleeing combat alone

    “Rescue” is Verbally Called when fleeing combat with a Target in bleedout.

  • Any Character can see and point out Forage Cards, but you must have the Foraging Skill to pick them up and turn them in at the Post Office.

  • Any Character can see, point out and pick up Salvage Cards, but you must have the Salvaging Skill to turn them in at the Post Office.
