The OSMtable! returns with a new TTRPG discussion. Dylan, Basil, and Tobias are once again joined by Niko (con co-chair of the Middle Tennessee Anime Convention) to talk about safety tools, session zero, and other elements of the social contract. As people with familiarity with these approaches, how do they play out in different contexts?
