First One’s Free

The first time a new player suffers an Infection loss during their first three events, the Guide running their Gravemind Scene will give them the option to waive the loss.

Why are we doing this? Because Dystopia Rising can be a lot! This will allow new players to play fearlessly, and really jump into the experience while giving them that cushion to acquire their first items, make allies, and ultimately learn the terrible tempo of the post apocalyptic world they’ve jumped into.
