Econ and Event Structure 12/2024

This month’s event will have a transitional structure in order to help move from our previous event mechanics toward the new DR: LIVE Virtual Event structure. Mods and Soft RP will run Friday Evening through Saturday night, and rewards resolution and casual OOC engagement will run Sunday.

Engagement and Reward Points

Most of the event engagement and loot rewards will happen through three methods: Mods, Soft RP engagement, and OOC content. Reward Points you earn through engaging with the event can be traded in one-for-one for items listed on page 21 of the Dystopia Rising Live Virtual Play Guide, up to the listed maximum per category.

Mods

A standard event ticket allows attendance at three mods. On each of these mods, the ST will be able to award up to 25 Reward Points to each player, based on ST discretion. Make sure to check the tags of different mods if you have particular preferences on reward methods.

Soft RP

You can collect up to 40 Reward Points from ZoMs, NPCs, etc. through Soft RP. Keep a simple record of your engagement and earned points to submit with your crafting spreadsheet. Once you have reached 40 points, you are welcome to continue to participate in the Soft RP content, but you cannot collect any more points.

OOC Content

This kind of engagement offers a chance to socialize with other players and event staff directly, rather than through their characters. At minimum, there will be a Spreadsheet Crafting workshop during the event and a casual debrief session on Sunday, but possible other activities include lore updates and collaborative art activities. There are not currently any Reward Points slated for this category.

Spreadsheet Crafting

  • 6 hours worth of crafting time

  • Full Resolve and one 12’s worth of Mind

  • Trailblazing, Vouchers, Caravan Maps, Trade Papers, Dock Worker Contracts and CAPs expenditures will work as normal, and use may be added to your spreadsheet with 0 time expenditure.
