This week at our March event, Hunger & Frost, we’ll introduce our first set of Strain Variants for Dystopia Rising New Yok: Bathory Sempers, Consigliere Rovers and Dynasty Yorkers.
Strain Variants showcase the unique stories of a chapter by establishing alternatives for both player characters and NPCs. At DRNY, we take it a step further: each Strain Variant will introduce new local mechanics to capture the influence that they have on Requiem and the Fold. If the staff determines there are enough of these variants in play, they’ll allow all members of the strain (variant and traditional) to use the associated local mechanic. If we decide that a Strain Variant’s local mechanic is in play, we’ll let you know as part of our announcements.
This month, you’ll meet:
Bathory Sempers, who lived in isolation for years, trapped in their research facility.
Consigliere Rovers, who abandoned the road to bring their unique idea of courtesy to the Fold.
Dynasty Yorkers, who came to the Fold determined to rise above a Yorker’s traditional station.
If you’re interested in playing one of these Strain Variants, please submit an Action Request.
