This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Is #DnD Twitter Worse Than Coronavirus?

Quote from: Krugus;1124405Anyways, as far as COVID 19 goes, no one where I work is freaking out about it but we are taking it seriously.   All freaking out gets you is high blood pressure and empty store shelves.....first it was the toilet paper, now its ammo!   Good thing my wife always stocks up on both because when the shit hits the fan, your going to need them both :)
So when the shit hits the fan, you're going to sit around and shoot the shit? :D

That is only one possibility of unknown future events :p

Quote from: Mistwell;1124394Nobody is asking you to not freak out. Maybe just try a little harder to be less of a dick to those dealing with it differently than you, taking it more seriously than you, taking more steps than you? You know, be a little more human and a little less Internet Badass for shits and giggles?

I'm more prepared than most, and probably more real badass than a lot, but everyone is welcome at my place to drink and eat bbq and shoot as long as you hit something. I have the SJGames giant pocket box of games, and a thousand RPGs, so if you need a place to chill I'm cool, just bring some whiskey because tomorrow is saint Patrick's day and I started early.

Just wait until the civil unrest hits the USA.

You really think every teenager is just going to lay there in the fetal position before the screeching TVs like their drooling parents? No school. Nothing to do. Mostly single moms. Being told they can't do anything. Hearing nothing but no, no, no all day...but with cell phones to rally their friends in every pocket.

Anybody else here remember being young, dumb and full of cum?

I'm sure it will be fine.

Quote from: Gagarth;1124316Leftest (small l or large  L like you ) always  weaponize crises for propaganda.

It's not just leftists. President Cheney weaponized 9/11 to get the USA into the Iraq and Afghani quagmires that cost us so dearly in blood and treasure.

Americans must beware EVERY politician (and media outlet) trying to weaponize a crisis.

Iraq and Afghanistan killed fewer Americans than the flu. Why so panicky?

Incidentally, it appears that Tenkar had plain old pneumonia, not the Kung Flu.

Tenkar's not a big enough celebrity to get Flu Manchu. Unlike Tom Hanks who magically spent 12 hours a day on a crowded movie set, but only Tom got blessed with the Wuhan magic, such an amazing and beautiful coincidence. Even more amazing when you calculate the population of celebrities versus the general populace.

As for Tenkar, may his recovery be swift and uneventful.

This has a lot to do with the fact that, when/where access to testing was limited, a disproportionate share of those tests went to celebrities and politicians.

Adrenochrome, my dear fellow.

Probably the best CT ever for an RPG.

Spinachcat - I'm curious, has your opinion changed at all since the start of this thread at the beginning of March?

So is the implication that Hanks isn't infected and it's just a publicity stunt? Is this also be true of Senator Rand Paul?

S'mon
