LOL. What the Mandella Effect are you talking about? There are not 9 main theatrical Star Wars releases. Are you counting release updates? Stuff like the soundtrack change on the original Star Wars and changing OGSW to Episode 4 A New Hope? Talking about the special edition Star Wars releases can upset some Star Wars fans, so it's best just to count the Star Wars movies as Episodes 1 through 6. Any other discussions could get someone doxxed and they could wind up with an enraged Star Wars fan knocking at their door ready to assault them with a dueling lightsaber. It's not really as dangerous as it sounds given the limp wristed sweaty palmed grip of your average Star Wars fan, but the threat of discomfort, embarrasment, and a nerd in a brown bathrobe showing up and making your HOA or apartment complex upset is very real.

In my domain (IT, with On-Call), there's a practice called "Wheel of Misfortunes" or "Game hour". This is in fact a short TTRPG session to simulate incident. This works very well. I am a paid DM 1h per week for my colleagues
Oh neat, our team does this but we call it "WTF Wednesday." Usually the most senior engineer digs back into our incident log and tries to reproduce it in our dev environment, and we live-solve with him playing the role of the customer. -

In our case it's not attached to the seniority. The person ending their shifts replays its incident when there has been one, with the person who is taking the pager after them. We are deeper in the infrastructure so we don't have customers but we roleplay stakeholders (lead/head, principals, developer). My favorite is the person who has experienced something wrong but it is only this person and bad luck

I like Hope is [Not a Plan](https://deusexminima.itch.io/hope-is-not-a-plan) but it is a bit depressing. I would like something to release the pressure of work. Something in the mood of [Eat the Reich](https://rowanrookanddecard.com/product/eat-the-reich/?v=82a9e4d26595) or [Blades in the Dark](https://evilhat.com/product/blades-in-the-dark/)/[CBR+PNK](https://emanoelmelo.itch.io/cbrpnk-core). But I couldn't find a good game. [Corp Borg](https://heltung-storytelling.itch.io/corp-borg) has been a bit disappointing.
