Publisher's blurb:
The Core Rules have a limited number of Diseases included – and the way they are presented is far from realistic in practically all respects. Virulence, Incubation, Infection Period, Effects are more often wrong than not.
The most likely diseases are not (normally) serious ones – they will be Stomach & Gastrointestinal or Respiratory infections (Mild Food Poisoning, Mild Diarrhoea, Colds and Mild Influenza) and Infected Wounds. These are covered in more detail herein.
Also included are Uncommon & Unlikely Diseases – the more (potentially) lethal ones that might be encountered in Northern and Northwestern Europe – some are only lethal given the damage to established health and medical infrastructure, others were always dangerous and are more so with said collapse. A number of real and imaginary Bioweapons are also included – really lethal or nasty in other ways.
The included Diseases are best used as Plot Devices … the PCs may have to backtrack around an area suffering from an outbreak of disease, for example, of they may have to find a supply of vaccine.
The material presented in this book is a stand alone extract of material included in Road to Armageddon Modern Encounters.
