There are many important reasons to MASK UP tomorrow!

- Protect yourself from viruses.

- Protect others from viruses and show vulnerable folks you've got their back.

- Make a statement against fascist mask bans.

- Send a message that the pandemic is NOT over; covid is still a serious threat and now there's measles too.

- Privacy.

😷 ✊

@critfail_press The pirate game was more swashbuckling D&D in a pirate town, less sailing, but I'd like to revisit the idea at some point.

I love codifying the idea of antics into the gaming language but I find the constant changing of terminology from game to game to be confusing at times and a little grating having to re-explain concepts to folks when we switch games.

I've tried to lead by example on that kind of freeform play. Powered by the Apocalypse games are good for that which is why we're doing so well with #Masks. When we played #FengShui, I would ramp up the action and the players often would follow suit.

That's also one big reason why I prefer #OSR type games. I'd rather make an interesting ruling based on a neat player idea than be locked into a set of rules.

"First, be sure to arm yourself with a mask. It's even becoming fashionable now. Second, try not to go outside unless there is an urgent need. Third, try to avoid large #crowds of people, because the virus is transmitted from person to person in the most effective way - by #airborne droplets," the source told the publication.
