database check-in guide
Checking in on our database is a crucial step to ensure you're ready for the event. After purchasing your ticket, you must complete your check-in before the Tuesday of the event so we have time to generate and print your character sheet. Skipping check-in could mean delays when you arrive on-site, slowing down your entry into the game. The process helps us prepare for you and your character, ensuring you have everything you need before game on.
Don’t wait until the last minute—this guide will walk you through the simple steps to check in and get ready for an unforgettable weekend. If you have any questions or run into issues, reach out to us on Discord or send us an email at team@dystopiarisingks.com. We're happy to help!
how to check in using the new database
STep by step walk through
Go to db.larp.network and click on Dystopia Rising. Log in.
Look at the left hand side, and scroll until you see “Event Calendar”. This is where you’ll find every available Dystopia Rising network event. They are organized by weekend, and by each state. Games that are online have a little computer icon.
Click on the Kansas (KS) event you’re checking into, and from the drop down select the arrow pointing at the door icon.
This is the check-in screen. You’ll see your name and player number, and several sections below that.
Under “Ticket”, choose the correct ticket type from the drop down menu. Make sure you choose the ticket type you purchased.
Use the sliding scale to indicate the additional XP you purchased. If you did not purchase extra XP, make sure it shows ZERO XP.
On the right, under “Characters” are the character slots you have available. Please use the toggle to make sure the characters you plan to play are available to print. For example, if you have three characters, but know you only want to play one, slide the toggle to deactive the other two.
Under “NPC”, you’ll choose your NPC shift (unless your ticket specifically opts you out). Shifts in the section appear in two hour blocks, so make sure you select the corresponding number of hours to your ticket. If you purchased a standard ticket with a four hour NPC shift, make sure you select two NPC shift times.
Under “Cleanup, select the cleanup option available. Don’t worry too much about this right now. We assign cleanup areas after closing announcements at 12pm Sunday.
Don’t worry about “Special” Shifts. Sometimes we ask folks to serve the game in different areas according to the game’s needs at that time. This takes the place of a NPC shift because these special shifts are considered support outside of normal event hours.
Click “Check In. You should see a confirmation when the page refreshes. Check under your player name and number at the top of the screen. A blue icon indicates you are successfully checked in. A green icon indicates your check in was received and confirmed. A purple icon means that you’ve been awarded XP!
