Description

Sent to settlements near and far, an invitation has been issued from the Honourable Professor John C. Worthington of North Peninsula Port’s Ivy Manor requesting the presence of all and sundry to witness a momentous event; the unveiling of a wondrous machine, guaranteed to dispel the unpleasantness of radiation and the ill effects of heritable transmutation, promised to restore the original vigour and vim of the flesh Pre-Fall. Further, with the generous help of the Fenway and Kennedy families of greater Beacon Hill in the Mass, each attendee is also welcome to venture out on an expedition into the ruins of a recently discovered Pre-Fall bunker, which may hold secrets and treasures for those brave enough to take the risk.

For this purpose, the Ivy Manor will open its doors for the first time since the current occupants - four British ex-patriots and their chamberlain - arrived in ‘Merica and took up residence, and as such a High Tea will be served as a part of the festivities. Guests are welcomed to inspect the machine, called a Xenal Retroconfigurator, as well as its schematics, and to assist in peer-review activities to test its effectiveness. Should the review be successful, guests may commission the creation of more Xenal Retroconfigurators to take back to individual settlements. Representatives from the Fenway and Kennedy families will also be on hand to guide the Jonesing expedition into the bunker attached to the Manor, and to help divvy up the loot when all is said and done.

------------------ Dystopia Rising is a role playing game that takes place in a post apocalyptic world, long after the fall of civilization to a worldwide zombie plague. This world, many generations after the Fall, takes place in a new dark age where the remains of lost cultures linger in a world without direction. No global governments survived, no armed police to serve and protect, no organized educational systems, and no guidance to pull the world out of the spiral it has fallen into. The world is a dark, dangerous place where humanity is as much of a threat to existence as the undead horde is.

_Dystopia Rising: Back to the Future_ is a module designed to introduce new players to the setting and system as well as to provide regular players with the chance to learn new information and discover new items in the world. Some pre-generated characters will be available, and players will also have the option to create their own character. **If you'd like to create a character before the convention, please [email the GMs](mailto:glenin@gmail.com).**
