Q: Do I need to read the material linked above or own the digital or physical copies to play immediately?
A: No, but we HIGHLY recommend reading the DR: Live - Players' Guide…
Q: Why is DR: L.A. age 21+ to attend?
A: We acknowledge that those under 21 can handle mature themes. DR: L.A. has decided to make the California legal drinking and marijuana smoking age our requirement for event liability purposes. While DRINKING AND DRUGS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT OUR EVENTS (including vape pens and edibles), we do not want those tempted to break rules doing so with people "underage." No exceptions to this age restriction will be considered and we apologize for any sense of exclusion or exclusivity…

Humanity Fought a Brave Battle —but Still Lost
The world government implemented a gradual population control measure. Unintentionally and unbeknownst to all, this fungal bioweapon mutated all living matter's genetic building blocks and the environment itself well before the first zombie attacks were reported. The infection that produced the hungry dead spread globally while society was distracted with personal technology and governmental disinformation. The major cities were nuked...and that only exacerbated things.
The characters you play exist 400+ years after the Fall. Every survivor of the apocalypse had to evolve with the zombie fungus infection, which caused the remnants of humanity to supernaturally heal and come back to life many times before eventually becoming undead. It also transformed your predecessors differently based on specific survival traits; or Lineages.
