In this video I finally attend the Pittsburgh, PA Dystopia Rising event I've been working so hard on my costume for. So please kick back and enjoy some of my characters story, the scenery and a little combat...

**Because this is a heavily immersive larp, I didn't want to be a jagoff and be filming all the time. So, there isn't a lot of character interaction footage, but I got what I could for now.**

Overall the game was a blast, it had way more people then I initially stated in this video and really got this new chapter started out right! I look forward to attending more events and helping the game to grow. If you live anywhere near Pittsburgh, PA I suggest checking this game out. If you don't, see if there is a game in your area!

-----If you see yourself on this video and would like to be removed, let me know. I figured since everyone is so heavily costumed it is difficult enough to distinguish individuals without blurring. But if you disagree, tell me who you are and I'll adjust it.------

Dystopia Rising is a Post-Apocalyptic larp set in a future where zombies and mutants rule the day. Survivors are all basically infected with the disease as well but not consumed by it. The game mixes boffer combat with Nerf gun style combat and is a highly immersive game. Here's a link to the Pittsburgh Site and the National Site if you'd like to learn more about this larp.

So, because it is my first Dystopia Rising larp experience, I have chosen a very simple concept. I chose to play a "Yorker Strain" and "Thug Profession". I'll be using a Bolt Action, a Standard Melee and a Large Melee but not florentine. So, a basic generic fighter type...

I also chose the Yorker Strain because I live in a very sports loving area, we have several repeat championship teams and the people here are crazy! So crazy, that I could totally see that insanity standing the test of time through the apocalypse especially considering the sheer amount of sports items in stores and people's closets. So, using the local flair of the location is what really drove my decision. Plus, this area has a rich industrial history and we even have our own accents and a long list of crazy made up words in our local dialect which will help to solidify this character concept. And I'm excited to play the role. Here's some links explaining our regional dialect, also useful in case I say stuff in my videos and you have no idea what I'm talking about...

This game seems fairly simple in some ways, but very complex in others, so I want to get a feel for the game first which is why I chose a somewhat boring profession. But once I feel like I have the game down, I'll probably switch up characters. Even though I feel I've created an incredibly thoughtful, well designed and deep character concept. Ultimately, it's not me and not something I want to play long term, at least I don't think...
