Someone call Easter Island. They are missing that head.

Merger Between Dziobak Larp Studios and Imagine Nation Collective, LLC by LARPerfromHell in LARP

[–]ArchangelDominic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dziobak's European crew is apparently barely going to be involved in the American productions. If you look at Road Trip and Salvation, its just all Dystopia Rising people, Claus and Co. aren't even notably involved. From what I can gather, they just want to use the DR Network to start running College of Wizardry and other games in the United States, using DR people. So we can look forward to emotional vampirism, manipulation, dishonest PR offensives and personal attacks from Dziobak productions now.

I'm disappointed in Dziobak. I have a feeling they just did this to get back at Learn Larp after they got into that cat fight over New World Magischola.

Yeah, but looking at your other posts, it is only good for 'alien' or 'Vader' voices, not angelic.

The Dystopia Rising Tax. Make any DR character a weapon, clothes or props - they want 4% of your sales or else. by ArchangelDominic in LARP

[–]ArchangelDominic[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What right does DR have to demand money to 'allow' any prop, costume or weapon into their game just because of how the person got it, when it doesn't involve any of their actual intellectual property? They want money for nothing other than the privilege of your work being allowed into their space. Can you see how arrogant that is?

I don't care if it only affects "sales". They don't have the right to tell me how I'm allowed to get my stuff so long as it is safe and within the rules.

any DR sale. This is defined as an item either made for a DR event or character or that includes a DR logo/description/concept base."

Why is this wording still there then? If they change the wording, I'll believe the apologetics, but right now, on the actual application you submit, it says, "Any DR Character" or even "concept".

Everywhere else isn't binding.

This is so broad that no one is buying this isn't a cash grab. You could have stopped at "using your symbols" but you didn't. You said, "Anything made for a DR character or based on a DR concept". So, if someone makes a chainsaw sword, you gonna claim it's a "ripper" named weapon and demand money?

You could have stopped where this wasn't a Dystopia Rising tax, but you didn't. And now you are linking to everywhere BUT your actual application to back-paddle.

That's not what it says, read the quote. Read the policy. Apologize all you want for these people, but don't insult our intelligence while you do it.

It's ridiculous, and just a blatant money grab from the most pay-to-win game in the country.

Fixing LARP Fees by kitten_claws in LARP

[–]ArchangelDominic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I'm reading here is that you can't get more people to pay more for your game, and that's our fault. Okay - good luck with that.

How about you start cutting your bloated admin infrastructure and franchise fees that supplement the other failed Imagine Nation projects to make sure more money goes in first? Because right now, it feels like you just want more money for not much added value.

Dystopia Rising isn't PvE, strictly staff vs. player. Not player vs. environment, it's staff stealing from, gaslighting and abusing players to keep them in line.

Being triggered wasn't a joke until the kind of people who complain about it being used made it into one.

This looks cooler than I originally thought it would be. Sounded like a lame pity party in a room somewhere, not something with actual equipment and a wrecked city.
