But there is a major difference in my scenario. I live in a very large city with an active geek/game culture. And even though I won't leave the house most days and stay masked when I do, I can see through the various online social outlets that people are actively looking for others to game. So, if I really wanted, I could.The thing is, I was always particular about who I would invite to join my personal games. I made more of an effort to cultivate a good group who were not only compatible, but comfortable with everyone at the table to ensure a reasonable chance for a long-term game to endure. Now, I must give greater consideration to everyone's health and welfare, tolerance for accepted norms of our society, and a general respect for everyone around them. These were always considerations, of course, but the current landscape demands higher priority on these on top of everything else. For someone like myself who put a lot of effort before just to get a game or two going, this is now a nerve-wracking endeavor that I feel is no longer worth the effort or the risk. And it really does suck.I miss the human interaction with others who haven't been locked in with me for the last 2+ years. I hate the indecision and the learning that comes with VTT as an option. And I dislike the majority of interactions I've had with people online who seem to forget how to behave like a human being when they can easily retreat rather than deal with consequences or others.You have my sympathies, as does everyone else who is struggling with similar issues of the new world.</blockquote>
