Onyx Path Publishing, known for their Chronicles of Darkness evolution of White Wolf’s World of Darkness line has secured a license with Eschaton Media to write another Dystopia Rising.
Dystopia Rising is a fast-paced survival game set after a zombie apocalypse. The next edition, Dystopia Rising: Evolution, will be written by Eddy Webb and will use the Storypath system, or at least, a modified version of it. Webb says;
First, we’ll be using Onyx Path’s Storypath system as the bones of the game. In early discussion, I offered a few options to consider, but we all quickly agreed that Storypath adds some great qualities that will help DR:E stand out as a distinct post-apocalyptic experience.
Onyx Path Publishing are planning more than one book for DR:E. This is the first of a series and Webb, as lead developer, has the company’s pool of staff writers to draw from but is also looking for fresh talent. He notes;
… I want to bring some fresh blood in as well. I’m particularly interested in seeing submissions from women, people of color, disabled and LGBTQ folks, and other minorities. Even if I don’t have room on the core book, I’ll need writers and designers for future books.
In the comments section of Onyx Path’s blog post Webb has to step forward with this reminder;
Not pre-selection. Just encouraging other folks to apply!
He’s looking for all good writers and is encouraging everyone to step forward.
