When Life Gets Put On Hold - Part 2

Well we have been in quarantine for a month now. The USA has had more cases of Covid-19 than the rest of the world combined.

Steve Jackson Games had their second Fnord Con scheduled for April, but had to cancel when Austin Texas went on lockdown. I was on the TFT Discord server one day some weeks ago when we were talking about it and someone said why don't we do a virtual con online on Discord. Steve Jackson himself joined the discussion and asked questions. We set up a thread to discuss the idea. Someone created a Discord site for the virtual Fnord Can and shortly after that control and ownership was haded over to SJG. A test was run last weekend and the event will go live this Saturday, April 18.

As I was saying in my previous post, our weekly game got put on hold. The game store, One-Eyed Jacques is open, but in a limited way. I think you can call or order online and pickup merchandise at the curb. Still no gaming going on.

I'm in a play-by-mail game online using Discord. We text our moves and our game master replies. It's a slower paced game, but we are finally near the end. Our team of intrepid heroes have walked many miles and faced many challenges. We are now in a dungeon searching for the source of the magic that has been disrupting life in this part of Elynthia.

There's not much more to talk about. The country is for all intents and purposes shutdown until we can find a way to avoid contagion.
