400 million people in the world have long Covid

You are one of them

You must survive another day

Hi everyone,

I made a free tabletop RPG for the Breathless Jam 2!

It's called Covid Everyday and can be found here : https://le-joyeux-scribe.itch.io/covid-everyday

Players: 1 GM and 1 player or more, on a physical or virtual table, or by play-by-post, mail...

Download and play it if:

• you want to understand what it's like to live with long Covid
• you have long Covid and need to vent, perhaps with some dark humor
• you want a role-playing experience of dystopian modern life in a setting marked by pandemics and the rise of fascism
• you're interested in the Covid informational summary it contains
• you're in a good enough mood to bear playing it
• you like the Breathless family of games already, and the constant tension in their gameplay
• you might be interested in this as an artifact of the 2020s
• you're really curious about that section titled "144 Annoying B...", or the one titled "How to win this game"

By the way, this is a living document. I'd be glad to take any kind of constructive feedback into account, especially if you feel that some of the medical / Covid information is lacking or imprecise, or if some of the writing is insensitive (I'm not a native English speaker).

Thanks for your attention :)

Thanks, will do !

Aaaaand... done ! After countless decades of toiling away in my humble study, the translation finally sees the light of day.

It is here !

Many thanks for giving meaning to my existence. At last, I leave a trace of my passage on this world.

(I can delete the independent page and just send you the file if you prefer, of course. Also I didn't use the translation as my submission for the 36-word jam, it felt kinda cheaty.)

I'm not saying I'm badass. I'm just saying the ultimate baddy took 5278 damage in their face in one hit.

Great game !

Well that was fun !

I cleared 15 rooms and could have done more.

Could you give me permission to translate it to French ? They say you shouldn't start with overly ambitious projects, but what do they know.

Since you gave me permission on BlueSky the other day, I've finished and uploaded the French translation on my own page : https://le-joyeux-scribe.itch.io/6dr

Thanks for making this available ! I already have ideas for hacks...
