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.
