D&D and the rising pandemic

[Zardnaar]

Yeah from what I've seen they were less hospitals and more "giant concrete boxes to park people in close quarters with questionable sanitation", but I do wish them the best in recovering from the virus. Those hospitals would also be excellent creepy pasta fuel though.

I wonder if I could convince anyone to play a one-shot modern fantasy game taking place in China. Dresden Files RPG maybe? Maybe I'll wait for 5E modern.

I would also take Chinese figures with a large dose of sodium chloride.

South Korea would be a lot more reliable but they have a good health system there.

I have never wanted one of these more than right now:

SANITIZE! SANITIIIIZE!

My mother would do almost anything to be stuck in one of these until the all-clear is given for this novel Coronavirus... if she weren’t claustrophobic.

If you can wait for the weekend before Easter, I would love to join.

For H1N1 eleven years ago... most victims were females under thirty.

Cite, please? I'm not finding that figure anywhere.

Well, after spending the 1st day of at least 2 weeks of working from home (my office is in Montgomery County, PA, which is under lockdown) I’m off to game night. Getting a head start on the post-apocalypse by playing some Mutant Crawl Classic!

We’ll see when the next in-person session is...

So, here's a strong word of advice - accept the fact that most folks are MISTAKEN rather than lying. Remembering this will go a long way in allowing you to correct the issue.

Easy goes it - i never accused him of lying - accused the stat he was quoting of lying. Major difference

Not sure which figures you are talking about, but I take everything from the CCP with a large dose of skepticism. I'm half Chinese myself, I was actually supposed to leave for Taiwan to see family this weekend back before the whole thing started, so I'm not a big fan of theirs.

Love China, though. Whether it would be wuxia-inspired feudal fantasy or modern urban fantasy creepypasta, I'd love to run a game set there/inspired by China some day.

Pretty much any figure relating to the virus.

I've had very mixed luck on forum games, so assuming you don't live near the Monterey Peninsula in Cali, that's a very big maybe. Then again the one system I have had success with online is DFRPG, so if some people are interested I might be down!

I'll take this to PM though.

I went to the grocery today, and while there were crowds and some evidence of panic buying- bread, pasta & canned good were severely depleted, and the paper goods aisle was empty of everything except trash bags, cardboard boxes, and a Mexican- everyone was at least still being civil.

I've actually had much worse shopping experiences during the holidays.

...and I just remembered I forgot to by red beans.
