How has the Coronavirus affected your roleplaying games?

[Umbran]

So, my game for tonight is cancelled - we're having a bit of a Google Hangout gathering just so there's folks to talk to.

We may discuss moving to gaming online in some form.

Nobody in my group has it, so we're still playing as normal.

Do we need to have the, "Covid-19 has a two week asymptomatic-but-still-contagious incubation period," discussion?

Do we need to have the, "Covid-19 has a two week asymptomatic-but-still-contagious incubation period," discussion?

And do we need to have the "even if you don't have it, do you interact with others who may be immuno-compromised and are putting them at unnecessary risk" discussion?

Yes. My wife put me on lock down yesterday.

Don't know as yet - my group has a message board for planning and coordinating stuff - I've asked the group if we're still meeting as normal or if we're going to be canceling or moving the session online, and have not heard back yet.

And do we need to have the "even if you don't have it, do you interact with others who may be immuno-compromised and are putting them at unnecessary risk" discussion?

Well, if you "don't have it" in the sense of are not infected at all, you aren't putting people at risk. But, you have to be tested to know this - thus Morrus' question.

If you aren't showing symptoms, you might still have it, and spread it to others, and one of them may be a risk to those immune-compromized folks.

Our weekly, FtF, mostly-D&D 5E group, in it's 4th year, is probably gonna go virtual for a while. I'm digging in to both Roll20 and Astral to see how they work and which I prefer. We tested Discord for the audio chat component this past Friday, so we'll probably use that and also their video chat feature. I'll be back to DMing, so I have a slightly weighted vote in what we use.

Found in Paizo Forum.

For the health and safety of our staff and local community, Paizo offices are currently closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Customer Service phone lines are temporarily closed while our staff works remotely. Our warehouse is continuing to ship orders.

I devised a RTT last night. Real Table Top surface for our upcoming D&D game using Skype. I'm aware of Roll20, it's just not something I want to use.

I angled my computer camera a bit. The 2'x2' board is also on an opposite angle (using books). That way the models won't slide. I have a pot light in the ceiling and one desk lamp on each side for proper lighting.

It canceled our game in Thuesday. But found new group playing online. But it's not what I can do for a longer time.
