Nothing is wrong with just saying it. In practice, it sometimes doesn't work out though.

For a very public drastic example, look at the Far Verona rape:

The reaction of the other players at the table while the scene plays out is telling. It appears that no one expected this storyline to go where it went.

Yet, nobody said "I don't like where this is going."

To be clear: I don't blame them for not saying it. Probably, I probably would have been quiet in that situation too. I believe that safety/communication tools are usually not necessary but in rare cases they are. Thus, it is a good practice in general and worth some overhead.

Ich bekomme die Meldung:

Entschuldigung, das hätte nicht passieren dürfen... Die angeforderte Adresse ist leider nicht verfügbar.

Dieses Mal dürfte das letzte Mal sein, dass man noch Kleinparteien reinwählen kann. 2029 gibt es dann eine Prozenthürde von 2-3%.

The actual paper is directly linked in this press release. It contains three threats to validity:

First, due to the small sample size, demographic factors (such as prior experience with D&D and COVID-19 experiences) could not be entered into the statistical models as control variables. [...]

Second, the single-arm design is vulnerable to participant-related effects (participants responding to the demand characteristics of the research situation and placebo effects) and experimenter expectancy effects. [...]

Third, due to the age of participants (mean age was around 28), we should be cautious when generalizing these findings to other groups, such as geriatric or paediatric populations.

Overall, this is not very strong evidence. The primary conclusion from the researchers seems to be "promising for further research".

One curious note:

Interestingly, only two of the five outcome variables were found to change from T1 to T2. This could indicate that the positive effects of D&D take time to manifest or that a threshold of exposure is needed before positive effects begin to manifest.

They had 8 weekly 1h sessions. T1 is "before the first session" and T2 is the middle "after 4 of 8 sessions". (They also measured T3 "after eight sessions" and T4 "one month after the last session").

Seems like one shots won't do it.

Lasers & Feelings and its many hacks is such a really simple system. It is one page including setting.

I only played the hack Blood & Chrome and it worked for us: We had a glorious Mad-Max style chase and fight.

Wenn ich mir die Umfragen anschaue werden da noch einige Kompromisse nötig im Herbst.

Stimmt. Aber die Seite behauptet sich nicht neutral zu sein.

Ein EU Wahl-o-mat müsste bald kommen.

In Österreich gibt es https://fediverse.foundation/ allerdings betreiben die bisher nur Mastodon.

tchncs.de ist auch nur ein einzelner Admin.

You can still sell the original rules as Advanced D&D. :)
