Howdy Wastelanders!
Next month we’re launching our online event for July and then taking a break in August. It’s hotter than Hell. Not everyone is a Final Knight and want people to suffer the Arkansas HEAT! So, for the next trade it will be in an online setting. There’s a LOT of pieces to it so we’re going to cover what you need to know. Please be sure to read all the rules in their entirety at dystopiarisingar.com/riverlands-rolls
Location
For the last couple of online trades (July 2023 & December 2023), you may have noticed that the Trade wasn’t hosted at Quiet Hollows but at a different location in the Riverlands. That will be very much the same. Truate teased earlier in the season that we may be returning to our old stomping grounds, Crystal Creek, for some new business. Keep an eye out on our discord server, event posts, and receipt of ticket purchase to gain access to the event discord server and rulings for econ online.
Riverlands Rolls
I highly recommend going to our website, opening up a google document, and follow the instructions to transpose your character into the Riverland Rolls system. In fact, you will be expected to send/upload your Riverland Rolls character sheet to the Guide of that mod.
Riverland Rolls is a d20 system that we’re using for encounters in the online setting. The flow of it is that the Guide for the mod will lead you on an interactive narrated story path. Players will find themselves faced with an encounter that they must overcome. Your guide will prompt players to make decisions on how they want to engage and the players will roll for the requested skill. Depending on the results will dictate success or failure.
When engaging in a conflict (i.e., fight, skill check, etc.), the player will roll 1d20 and add the bonus modifier for the skill to the roll.
1-6 results in a failure
7-12 is a partial success
13-17 is a normal success
18+ is a masterful success
Throughout the weekend, players can engage in mechanics online that allows them to earn extra things that can boost or decrease their scores. Players can also spend mind to increase the results of the dice roll after seeing their rolls. They can also extend that same offer to other players as well.
Online economy
When you attend DR: AR online, you will have four hours of production time to split between your characters or you can opt into production packets. Production packets have been announced on the website. Take a look at dystopiarisingar.com/riverlands-rolls to see what is available!
Something very important to note is that if you’re performing an action that traditionally doesn’t take time to use, it now takes five minutes. Say you’re trailblazing. Typically this is an instant timeless action. However this time, it takes 5 minutes on your production sheet. Think of it like this - you’re spending five minutes in line at the post office to get your shiny metals.
There will be no usage of items to reduce econ time or to increase the production outcome. That includes Zeppelins, Mechanical crafting stations, Goat Cycles, Electrowelders, Distillation, etc.
In addition to no item usage, you will not be able to trade items with one another in the online setting.
On top of all that - we are no longer allowing blueprint copying at our game. With the implementation of National’s rules on removing LIT, it costs us way too much money to print, stamp, and mail blueprints AND cards to players.
A lot of information has been tossed your way so we will open up a thread in the Discord server to answer any questions you may have about the upcoming event.
Until then, stay safe and see you in the wastes!
