Welcome to Bravado!
Whether you're simply a survivor of the harsh zombie apocalypse, an employee of the Railroad Conglomerate, a Duster fresh off the Oxline, a Junkerpunk heading into port, or a traveler from another settlement, welcome to BRAVADO, a boom town on the edge of the San Saba wastes!
Dystopia Rising Live is a live-action game set in a post-apocalyptic, zombie infested world. For one full weekend you will join a settlement of survivors. You will eat, sleep, and fight in-character. You will have to gather resources to survive, fend off hordes of the undead, stop raiders from attacking you in the night, and protect what little you have from thieves and killers who will hurt you to help their own chances of survival. First time? Check out our New Player Corner!
It has been nine years since the end of the Hiway War. Nine years since the clouds over Old Bravo evaporated and the smell of ozone became as commonplace as sand and stone. The bomb carved a hole in the sky. The sun baked the land black, reducing what little was left by the bomb to flaky, carbonized debris. In the middle of it all, a small settlement grew despite the ravages of raiders, zed, and strange creatures from the ruins below the town. Something important is suspected to be under the town, and people are flocking to Bravado day by day in search of fortune and adventure. Learn more about the Geography and Settlements of the Lonestar here!
Bravado is the world we build up from bones. Bravado is freedom to tell a new story, or continue a great one. Bravado is what shines in the eyes of every Brave. Learn about the factions that make up our primary dramatis personae here!
You have 28 days a month to be a barista, a social worker, a teacher, or a retail worker. Come spend 3 days in the zombie apocalypse and learn if you have what it takes to be a survivor!

LIVE YOUR OWN STORY
Create a character and meet others who are also trying to survive the wasteland. Forge new friendships and pursue a story of your choosing in the ultimate sandbox. We run an episodic campaign. Each event is new and built off the last one, so the connections you make, and the history you create, will be a part of the wasteland for years to come.
WHAT WILL YOU FIGHT FOR?
Dystopia Rising Live is not a game centered on the undead. It is a game that is centered on humanity, and what we become when confronted with the demands of survival. Will you give up your own food for another soul? Will you answer their pleas for help in the middle of the dark and lonely night? Where do you draw the line and how adamantly will you stand by it?
