I'm guessing it already was over, but this is going to be a massive blow to board games and a period of consolidation/bankcrupties. CMON is already not doing great. As a canadian, I'm not going to spend money in the foreseeable future on american rpgs or board games.

My friends and I decided to cancel our road trip from Montreal to Gencon this year. We don't know what the situation will be in July, or if the border will be opened by then, but we won't take the chance. The virus will still be around, and the usual lack of hygiene doesn't bode well for...

I don't understand how Shadowrun succeeded in building such a following.
