If you can imagine something happening after the end of the world, there’s a decent chance it’s happened in live-action role-playing game Dystopia Rising, which celebrated its fifth anniversary earlier this year. Currently running at 10 sites in the US and Canada, Dystopia Rising is a game that’s both immediately intuitive and very involved. For a science fiction larp set in the far future, Dystopia Rising is an extremely pragmatic game. Food containers, clothing, and equipment must be plausibly distressed, and while there’s no way to genuinely meet a zombie, co-founders Michael Pucci and Ashley Zdeb (along with other organizers) run an impressive costume and makeup operation to outfit non-player characters who populate the quests.
