The Docks - A Rehearsal


  • 400 East Anaheim Street Long Beach, CA, 90813 United States (map)

It's finally here! Dystopia Rising: Los Angeles is having its first in-person event. With Live's streamlined new ruleset and network genre update, we hope you help us celebrate the first day ALL of the Wastes can release more lethal zed!

Our one-day "rehearsal" (not a playtest) is an introduction to DR: Live's new Skill/Profession builds, zombie tactics, and L.A.'s proprietary setting. We're excited to showcase new and returning characters at a warehouse "on the docks"!

Collectors, come get your new local currency yet to be unveiled to the Wastes. We promise it's as dystopian L.A. as we could make it!

Come help us realize our collective vision for post-apoc Los Angeles, make your mark, and stake your claim along the Shattered Coast!

Check-in will be open starting at 12pm and opening announcements will be at 2pm. Game will run until around midnight.

Photos taken of PC(s), solo & "live" (staged photos taken during "Commercial Breaks")
