In deference to that other thread, post about a time a game managed to make you break into a cold buttsweat in sheer abject dread.

Ain't know if this really applies, but what the hell.

So I was running this demo of The Quiet Year and people were just narrating sick people left right and center. Eventually it materialized that there was some deadly disease happening everywhere around the little settlement and starting to creep in. When I drew the Autumn card about a disease I had no problem saying that we had no clue what was going on. We started up projects to... deal with it? Somehow? We didn't really know.

Near the end of Autumn we found the military had occupied a biological research facility to the north and we finally began to get in touch with them. Ray of hope!

But then Winter hit.

Two cards in, we get a card that instantly completes a project somehow and I'm like, great, there was an intact codebook in the weapon bunker and that convinces them we're real thinking people and not particularly astute zombies! All we need is another month for the cure!

As long as nothing bad comes out of the deck.

The very next week, the Frost Shepherds arrive.

poo poo.
