Commonly Asked Questions

How do I even get started?

First, figure out what kind of character you want to play! You can look at strains and chose which one fits your play style best.
You can send in your character request here with your name and email, and we will get you into the database!
After that, it’s all just learning as much as you want before coming to game! Here is the main book that you can download for free where you can see all of the skills you can learn in game, as well as literally every effect you’ll see in game! Otherwise, browse this site for more condensed information, or join our facebook or discord pages to get in contact with the community.
Or, when in doubt, send your questions to drin.logistics@gmail.com .

I am a returning player from DR 2.0. Where do I start?

Your character and build are still in the 3.0 database! If you remember your Player ID, you can head to the database and reset your password, then start looking into how to build your character and check into events. You can adjust your build until you check in to your first event, then any changes within your first 3 games back (just like new players) are free, just email drin.logistics@gmail.com .

If you don’t remember your Player ID, still send an email to drin.logistics@gmail.com, and we will get you set back up.

I’m only 10 games in, and my XP dropped from 8 to 4!

An update was made in May 2020 that changed the character growth scaling. The first game was updated to 16, and after the book printing, the scale was updated to bump the 11th game to 4.

What are CAPS and what can I do with them?

CAPS are Community Action Points. They are what our team can give players for donating costuming or genre items, NPCing extra hours, or providing in some other way to the game.
You can spend them on things like skill changes, full mind refresh meals, and plot requests.
Full information on CAPs is here.

Can I sell food/physreps/other real items for in game money?

Yes, but make sure that whatever your selling is within the scope of Dystopia Rising genre. This means that the food or items need to at least feel like they fit the environment, whether by realistic standards or simply by presentation.
