Dystopia Rising Genre is post apocalyptic / necro apocalyptic. Survivors use anything they can to armor themselves, including soda can tabs, spare bits of metal, washers, plates of metal, leather, and the list goes on.
Clothing is generally ripped in various places with fraying seams and stains (blood, dirt, you name it).
Weapons (all contact safe foam) can range from swords and daggers to shovels and tree branches.
Shields can be just about anything, including the “meat shield” pictured to the left. Street signs are also popular.

STARTER GEAR
HOW IT WORKS.
Starter gear allows players to jump right into the action with the appropriate weapons that their character would have. Starter gear always needs to be safety checked by a Guide before entering play and must be tagged appropriately. There are no cards for Starter gear. Instead, the tag on the weapon specifies that it is Starter gear.
Starter gear includes weapons and shields. There are restrictions on what Starter items a character can possess as they cost nothing and allow people to come in with something. The limits are listed below:
One pair of brawlers
One mainhand Melee weapon (Small or Standard)
One Florentine weapon
One Bolt Action, one Bow, or 3 Thrown weapons
