Guide Application
What is a Guide? A guide is someone who accepts a higher level of responsibility at Dystopia Rising: Wisconsin. Guides are extremely important for the structure and well-being of the game overall. A guide shift takes place during your standard casting block.
Coordination Guide will spend their NPC hours at the Post Office filling out cards for Scrounging, Farming, and similar crafting skills while maintaining an immersive experience for other players. Nice handwriting is a plus, but not a must. They will create a persona Postal-Worker to help maintain that immersion and are encouraged to make them feel as life like as possible. These Guides are overseen by Heather.
Rules Guide will spend their NPC hours running modules given to them by the Ops Guide, which in a nutshell means taking NPCs out into the gamespace and supervising them. Rules Guides aren’t exactly glorified cat-herders, but it’s pretty close….kidding! They’re the first point of contact when a player is upset with how a mod went (fight or RP), they’re the Ops Guide’s eyes & ears out in the field and their attitude is often one that sets the tone for all the NPCs they guide around. These Guides are overseen by Val.
Ops Guide will spend their NPC hours organizing chaos. Daunting eh? Well we provide you with a schedule, pre-written modules and many other tools to help! You must have completed at LEAST 3 months as a Rules Guide before you can be considered for an Ops Guide position. These Guides are overseen by Val.
Settings Guide will spend their NPC hours creating immersive horror special effects make-up masterpieces, helping NPCs dress the part and taking care of needed props. Please email at least 3 photos of your work (make-up or costume-creation) to Heather@dystopiarisingwi.com, as she oversees these Guides.
All Guides are expected to be familiar with the rules and available for witnessing CvC actions such as thefts or infection loss. All Guides are expected to help with leading either set-up (limited slots) or clean-up of site.
To be considered for a guide position in Arkansas you will need to have completed the Sexual Misconduct Reading & Quizzes with 100% scores.
Wisconsin team members are also expected to be leaders in the community, and sometimes that means we (Heather, Val & Mike) will hold them to a higher standard, restrict some of their play-actions or ask them to steer some stories. We are firm believers that we all need to lead by example.
