3.0 to Live Item Conversion

Hey Drifters!

With our first in-person game just around the corner, we wanted to send out an update on our 3.0 to Live item exchange. This will only be available to players who have DR:MI as their home chapter. 

We are offering an exchange of one (1)  item for one (1) item of a similar type. This could be either a 1:1 item of the same name, or another item of the same card type. Ex: 1 AA Blade (3.0 weapon) can be turned in for either 1 AA Blade (Live weapon) or 1 Moulen Shank (Live weapon). The same process will carry over to Blueprints as well. 

However, there are a few restrictions. You may not exchange an item for any necrology item, even if the 1:1 match is now a necrology item in Live. The only way to exchange an item for a Live criminal item, is if the 3.0 item you are turning in is also a criminal item. 

Any herbs & meals you have will not need to be exchanged, since they have short expiration dates and have 1:1 matches. Scrap will also not need to be exchanged, and any scrap without an expiration date will be treated as though it is expiring in February 2026. 

Any unused 3.0 forage cards will not be accepted and will be treated as expired. Any cards with custom mechanics, plot items, or salvage cards are no longer in use and will not be accepted, but you can keep them as souvenirs. 

Below we have a form that we ask you to fill out. This will give you time to pick out what you are exchanging for your items, and it will hopefully expedite the exchange process. Make sure to keep your 3.0 cards when filling out this form, as we will be collecting those 3.0 cards in exchange for the Live cards at our in-person game.

If you do not want to fill out the form, or forget to, and would prefer to do the full exchange in-person, we will have this service offered Friday night for our first few in-person games. However, you will only be able to exchange 5 items before being asked to go to the back of the queue. This is to allow us to make sure everyone is helped in as timely a manner as possible. 

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out via the questions channel on Discord or at drmimercypointe@gmail.com.

What to Expect At Your First Event

Welcome new Mourners to our wonderful town! Before you jump right into this apocalyptic dance floor, we want to give you a heads up on what will happen when you arrive- and how to keep yourself from feeling like a zombie! So read on, and go give ‘em hell kid!

Arriving on Site:

• Players can arrive on site starting at 5 pm.

• Feel free to bring your car down to the dorms before Game On Friday night to unpack. When you’re done unloading your things, please park your car up at the designated parking areas.

  • If you need med sleep, talk to the Directors- Kendall, Bradley, or Kristen.

• All bunks are first come first serve. A lot of folks like to create sheet walls around the bottom bunk for privacy- you can also bring in-genre items and props to make the space feel more immersive!

Before Game-On:

• Check-In begins at 7:30 pm. See the post office for your character sheet and to show your vaccination card if you haven’t submitted it online.

• New Player Orientation is at 8:30 pm. This is to go over basic rules and safety, and make sure to answer any questions you have before game on!

• Opening Announcements are at 9 pm. This is a round up to tell the community what’s going on and to go over other rules and safety practices. If you have questions, feel free to ask!

• Game-On is at 10 PM. Time to get in your kit, or head to monster camp if you have your NPC shift at that time.

Game-On:

• It’s time to have fun! But remember some key things while you’re larping:

• Use the check-in system regularly to make sure everyone is having a good time.

• Combat is lightest touch! If someone asks you to watch your swings, please do so.

• Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Many players are open to helping, and you can always ask the green headband guides or someone at the post office a question.

Personal Hygiene

• Please make sure you’re taking care of yourself. While we do have a Kendall to take care of issues, we expect you to take care of your mental and physical being.

• We have many showers for use if you’re feeling a bit stinky. It’s a great way to freshen up and feel better!

• Winka Cabin and outdoor cooking sites are open for cooking food. It’s a great idea to bring some snacks as well- granola bars are perfect for popping in your supply bag.

• Get some sleep! Nothing is worse than a sleep deprived headache. If you need a very quiet place to sleep, please seek out the directors to talk about medsleep. You can email us at dystopiarisingmi@gmail.com before game as well.

• Wash your hands! Covid is still a thing, as well as many other germs. Don’t get larp flu, wash your hands well.
