safety tools: oh-oh the dragon slipped and impaled itself on your spear which you did not know was actually +10 and guaranteed criticsl against dragons
-
OSHA 1910.132(d)(1)(ii) mandates that safety tools needs to be clearly communicated to each affected employee.

I want the first one but with high magic. Do you know how compelling the story can be when you're fighting racist oppressors who have access to 'Wish'?

basically a safe word system for TTRPGs, LARPs, etc. in my experience they're useful for large and/or public groups but if you have to use them with small groups of familiar people you're probably just not a good match for each other TTRPG wise

Wouldn’t it be intragroup if your party are all banging?

Both of what are valid?

Does it mean anything that's not a human, elf, dwarf or halfling has a KILL ME sign on it? Or when elves and dwarves don't get along? Or that character races are called "races" instead of "species"? Is it racism when character race influences stats?

Memes are good at presenting false dichotomies for people to nod knowingly and say yeah, that about sums it up.

No, they have nothing to do with the style of play. They have to do with group dynamics, which is an entirely separate thing. I actually haven't ever used them myself. I've only played with people I already know or people that those people are vouching for, and I do a solid session zero to establish campaign content and tone. But it's who I'm playing with and the fact that we've discussed it that's relevant there, not whether we're playing heroic fantasy romance or dark gritty realism.

Even at tables that use safety tools, they're still optional. You can still speak up, but it's there for people who find that difficult. I really don't understand the animosity against tools that help improve the enjoyment for all players involved. If you, as a player, don't want to use them, then don't.I think you misunderstood. I have nothing against safety tools. I just stated that the majority of players neither use them nor need them and if your group doesn't include a single player who needs safety tools, then there really isn't a point in having them. Im not carrying a spare tire while hiking. Doesn't mean I think that spare tires are a bad concept in general.
