This year at Honor’s Fall, we’re adding a “new” tradition to our Game of the Year: After the Bacchanal, we’ll encourage players to host After Parties. An After Party is a player-created event after the Bacchanal, meant to keep the party going and enhance the experience for everyone involved. Since this is a new event, we wanted to make sure you had guidance on how to organize your After Party.

Honor’s Fall isn’t just our game of the year, it’s also the most important event of the year in character as well. From sunset to sunrise, the people of Requiem hunt each other and settle scores - but how are you supposed to play this?  

Every year at Honor’s Fall, the politics of Requiem shuffle as the 13 Families struggle for power - and take each other’s heads. Being a Family Head means being hunted during Honor’s Fall, and the result of that hunt influences who controls Requiem and the Fold for the next year. The Treaty of the Fold lays out the requirements for Honor’s Fall but leaves a lot of room for interpretation. However, we want to make out-of-character expectations clear, as well as clarify the in-character game. 

With General admission tickets now on sale for Honor’s Fall and over 100 participants already signed up, it’s time to make sure everyone gets fed. Brought to you by Christopher Malec, our meal plans are “grab and go” so that you never miss out on food. Here’s

It began in the dark and rain, it ended with a literal bang. The people of the Fold started on the outskirts of Requiem and fought inch by bloody inch until they had reclaimed their town. But while the Nostra army lies defeated, their leader, Lupa, still has cards she has yet to play, and with Honor’s Fall looming, her story is far from over.

As we prepare for our Premiere event, we wanted to make sure all our players can influence the outcome of the war with the Nostra. To make sure they know how they can do so, particularly outside of combat, we’re publishing our CONOP for Dogs of War. This document describes how players can both impact the Battle of Requiem and its aftermath.

As Dogs of War approaches, we’ve had two significant sets of action requests… first from people who wish to start the game captured and the second from people who want to fight against the town on the side of the enemy. Here’s some information if this applies to you.

Get ready to travel, because to celebrate the Massachusetts and Pennsylvania chapters’ return to live play, they’re teaming up with Dystopia Rising New York to run a three-part, cross-chapter plot! “Echoes of the Common Fall” will run on three consecutive weekends, beginning April 28 - 30 in Massachusetts, continuing May 5 - 7 in Pennsylvania, and concluding May 12 - 14 in New York.

This month, Dystopia Rising New York welcomes fresh faces with our first New Player Drive since our return to live play. We hope to make this a regular event and want to make sure all players… both our brand-new players and our regulars can enjoy these benefits. Please read this post carefully, because there is something for everyone!

All the people of Requiem arrived knowing that something was wrong, although no one knew exactly what would happen. As they survived the gathering, the potential disasters facing Requiem became increasingly clear: beset by enemies, strapped for resources, and with their morgue failing, Spring brought deadly challenges to the Fold.

Prior to Early Bird tickets for our June Premiere event, Dogs of War, going on sale next month, we need to identify two groups of players who will attend: our “Dirty Dozen” of Trained Survivors and players requiring reasonable accommodations. Please review this announcement for information on these pre-sales, and if interested, use the application form below.

As we approach our pre-sale period for Dogs of War, our June Premiere (applications for Trained Survivors and Accommodations go out tomorrow), we want to know what to expect, out-of-character, with regards to the schedule. Remember, most of the campsite will be out-of-character Friday night, with in-character activities limited to the area near the A-Frame.

Our June Premiere Event, Dogs of War, is a unique event with special NPC requirements to simulate large battles and a need to accommodate different levels of immersion. As such, we’re creating a unique ticket structure. Please review this announcement thoroughly to select the ticket right for you. 

Our April event, GRINDHOUSE! sees the return of Dystopia Rising New York’s Special Event mods, as we bring you Hell’s Hill… a literal hill to die on. While players who’ve been coming to Requiem over the past year might remember our previous Special Events (the Train Job, Jones Town, and the Hot Zone), we wanted to recap how Special Events work, and introduce you to Hell’s Hill.
