Haha, this is a little off-topic, but I helped run a server event in TERA recently that revolved around a disease outbreak. One of my own characters got sick and very nearly died (only a single dice roll saved her xD). That said, it was horrifically difficult to find people who were willing to RP as infected. I don't understand why, though. This was an amazingly life-changing experience for my own character!

Off topic of the OP so I am replying in a spoiler:

I'm a bit surprised people would not take up that, in GW2 there was the Blacklung Plague run by a player as an epidemic that went world wide, bombings of the disease in different places. There were four levels of it ranging from minor symptoms to laying on your death bed and many among the community were roleplaying being infected/sick from it and spreading the disease accidentally to friends or family. Eventually, a cure was released.

Considering my own personal experience, and personal choice to always level cooking, in every MMO i play i figured i'd offer some advice of my attitude towards this topic, it is one thats quite close to my heart Big Grin.

Though IRL i'm an abysmal cook, i get by on the most basic meals if i'm cooking for myself, (A lot of ready meals, or packet meals, or take it out of the freezer and whack it in the oven meals) I do have a love of cooking, i watch loads of TV shows about it, i once dated a chef, i've read recipie books and have a few (specificially cake ones) even though i've never tried to make them.

What i've always found when RP'ing a craftsperson, is to always be enthusiastic about your craft, even if you lack knowledge about that certain craft or its components, enthusiasm wins out.

I suppose another factor to keep in mind is how much of a busy body you want your craftsman to be, i like mine to be busy, chatty, and generally active which is why i plug for enthusiasm, if however you'd rather a quietly confident artisan, one who knows their own skill limits but doesn't give away their secrets, or their inner-joy at making things anew, then theres a lot of RP potential there too, to quote a famous movie :

"When Pope Benedict asked Giotto for a drawing to prove his worth as an artist,
Giotto drew a perfect circle - freehand ... perfection is a powerful message".
