Trad Games in a Time of Plague: A Covid Policy The thing about traditional games is that they're inherently a social hobby, and as the US and UK open up further and covid vaccination proceeds apace people are going to want to get back to gathering in numbers to sling their preferred cards, toy soldiers, or funny dice. Unfortunately, the plague hasn't actually gone away yet. Gathering in numbers is still a risk -- and not only to yourself, but to everyone you go near. They might not be vaccinated yet. They might be immunocompromised. You could give them the virus that kills them. 'Personal responsibility' doesn't cut it when you're dealing with an infectious airborne disease. But the threads in Trad Games aren't really the place for arguing about what level of protection is appropriate for gathering to play those trad games and it can derail threads every time people talk about playing in-person, so we're saying please don't take that bait. Different people are comfortable with different levels of risk. That said, we feel we should make this clear: If you come into TG and start breaking out any of the 'covid isn't real' or 'covid isn't dangerous' conspiracy theories it is not going to go well for you. Our patience for that poo poo is nil. If you want to talk about covid, there's a thread in GBS, and if you want to argue bitterly about it then there's one in D&D and one in C-SPAM.
