  • My first instinct was to decry this as a reactionary move.

    But anyone that has been a teenager knows that a significant portion of teenagers are absolute sociopathic assholes. That’s how it is, and how it’s been for a long time. And while I wouldn’t blame the teenagers for this, we should not pretend otherwise.

    Although I don’t think banning the devices would work at all, that’s way too easy to circumvent.

    It didn’t. We literally spent hours irl rolling dice to fish because our DM was very clearly not interested in running an actual game that day.

    We soon started playing without him, bit I think that is the closest I ever got to OSR the ttrpg.
