At the beginning of the pandemic we shared an infographic about how to game safely, and one of the challenges in sharing it was that countries disagreed on how many people you should game with. That seems like forever ago, and now we have more concrete answers. The dreaded winter surge is upon us, when people retreat indoors for the holidays and when tabletop RPGs thrive. In that regard, playing RPGs around a table has much in common with a poker game or board game night: it’s clusters of people sitting within six feet of each other talking (and hopefully, laughing). All of this, we now know, makes games a perfect vector to spread the virus.
