D&D and the rising pandemic

[Zardnaar]

We're in lockdown nation wide in 48 hours.

Partial lockdown until then. All bars, restaurants etc closed. All public stuff cancelled, schools closing except for essential services kids closed completely in 48 hours.

Igrew up working on a farm, and in the berry fields. So I know exactly what you’re talking about.

Ok, then it is exactly for the reasons you're thinking of... n_n

Comic book stores and gamestores probably gone. Old one was closing soon anyway, new one was opening up but I suspect we'll be in lockdown by April 4. Apparently the landlord is being a hard ass with the lease, I would hardball back just refuse to pay its not like the courts will be open.

Game stores have a better chance of making it. Less more-valuable items and a bit of better foot traffic. Comic Book stores, on the other hand, are done for...

Good luck with the landlord.

That's just book keeping at that point. Just use the symptoms, doesn't have to be that exact.

I'm not sure there's another disease which main symptom is "your lungs turn into a pinkish liquid"

I am thinking this coronavirus could be a campaign theme for a Forgotten Realms campaign in which Talona has risen to the status of a Greater God. She is wreaking havoc across Faerun. The party is fighting against her forces of pestilence. You'll want some paladins, clerics and/or druids in that party, lol.

So now we know why the cleric didn't heal everyone in the town - exponential growth@!

Store wasn't open yet it was due to open April 4.

It can't open now anyway.

Yep, a divine caster can only cast lesser restoration so many times per day. In certain terrible cases greater restoration may even be required. You can imagine the temples of the Good and Neutral gods frantically trying to create as many magical restoration scrolls/potions as possible, a race against time and resources similar to what we are having now.

There are. The hemorrhagic fevers would all do that.

D&D isn't gonna do well after this.

To the contrary, remote tabletop might soar to new heights, when some people can’t work and have nothing to do but play the cheapest hobby possible... can’t know for sure, but I do know streaming services are facing MASSIVE loads right now, so anything that allows you to both use the internet for cheap and talk to other human beings is king right now.
