SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Shamdemic year 2 begins, you clowns still gaming from behind computer screens?

To give an idea how badly Lombardia got hit, the region has the highest per-capita number of doctors and medical professionals of anywhere in the world.  Something like 40% of Italy's GDP is centred around Lombardia; the majority of Italy's GDP comes out of the Po Valley and surrounding area.  Lombardia is wealthy, industrialised and highly developed; it has some of the best medical infrastructure on the planet - but was completely overloaded by the rate of COVID cases in the first wave.

I get the impression that early on medical intervention tended to spike the death rates - bringing victims to hospitals, and putting victims on ventilators, both associated with higher mortality rates. More medicine often meant more death.

Starting to think about emerging from hibernation & restart tabletop gaming once 6 people allowed indoors from mid May, hopefully.  Hard to decide whether to restart games stopped by Covid or start new game. Have asked players what they think but no response yet, they probably need me to make their mind up as usual. :)

The physical presence of other players busts my immersion and the separation of IC and OOC into different channels means I can ignore all the goofy memeing. And I am free of looking at the average gamer face.
