Borrowing from the idea of the Pluspora Check-in get some tabletop conversation going. If you have any questions that you want to get on the list to be asked, let me know. Also, if you'd like to be added or taken off the list of participants, let me know.
How is the COVID-19 Pandemic affecting your gaming habits?
My last face-to-face gaming group died out a few years ago. Well, more than a few. It was some people at work, and we'd play after hours in a conference room. We started out with D&D4e- playing in Eberron and then Dark Sun. Then we moved on to FATE 3.0 (DFRPG). We also had a Board Game group where I live, but they repurposed the clubhouse to make it only for the golfers and more high scale clientele.
As a result, my gaming has moved online, so it's not really affecting me, other than the sporadic visits I'd make to Barnes and Noble and the couple of game shops in the next town.

in reply to Chuck Dee • •I did start to see some friends and play boardgames with them from time to time, and that's not possible for me anymore.
I also have some friends who live far from my town and usually have playing groups, who are now setting up RPG campaigns to play online, which I might join 😁
I'm playing a lot more videogames recently, and working through my comics and books backlog ^^

in reply to Chuck Dee • •I also expect next month's RPG session to either get cancelled or move online.

in reply to Chuck Dee • •Also, I broke out Pandemic for the first time in years. It's been several years since I played myself. I did run several Pandemic Survival tournaments in the past few years, but never played for much longer.

in reply to Chuck Dee • •Right now I should be in Toronto working at Breakout Con. I should be in a panel right now taking notes and after that I should be playing Sentinel Comics.
Leading up to this and going forward we have had to cancel our Gloomhaven live stream. Now for most people this doesn't seem like a big deal but those live streams help pay the bills.
I also host game nights at a local FLGS and a video game cafe and both of those places are now closed for public play events.
No more Monday night group playing at my house, which again makes it really hard to talk about and review games when I have no one to play them with. My Pile of Obligation is sitting here gathering dust.
On a positive note it has meant more gaming with the kids which is cool and fun a a great way to spend time with them, but doesn't help getting any work done.

in reply to Chuck Dee • •That will only get me so far, not sure what I'll do for the next 18 months. At least I'll finally get through all the two player games in my pile of shame 😁
