Speaking as a certified firearms safety instructor and propmaster on a few student and indie films, several rules had to be broken for this to happen. Sadly, I can say sight unseen any one of those rules would have prevented this. Disregarding them all 1/

is negligence. 1. Treat all weapons as if they are loaded with live ammo. 2. Double and triple check what weapons are loaded with, make sure your barrels are clear of debris that a blank can turn into a projectile. 3. Train your talent to never aim directly in the 2/
Direction of any living thing, even those off camera. There are camera angle tricks any 1st year film student should learn so that it only looks like they are aiming at people. 4. Never have live ammo on set at the same time as blanks, do separate takes if needed 3/
And account for every single round of live ammo on a set before and after. Simple critical rules that can save lives. Safety should never be inconvenient and complacency kills. /4

Worldbuilding tip: let's talk about the banality of evil. The term comes from political theorist Hannah Arendt who after watching the trial of Nazi SS officer Adolf Eichmann in 1961 noted that sometimes vile things are the result 1/. #ttrpg #ttrpgfamily #dnd
of bureaucrats dutifully obeying orders. Scene chewing unabashedly "evil" antagonists and "relatable" "sympathetic" villains can be fun, but allow me to offer some alternatives. The trope that evil needs to be on the extremes has many problematic aspects, from indicating that 2/
Those with facial differences like scarring must be evil, to simply attaching "good" and "evil" to appreance. These tropes that play to binary thinking suck, IMO. In my history MA thesis on race and gender in early TTRPGS I pointed out that early female characters could be 3/

So my professor of marginalized studies hat just went on. For those following the new TSR thing I'd suggest a few points of further education. 1st people use the word and concept of Intersectionality without really understanding it all the time. They conflate intersectional 1/
with non-marginalized identities. Being a nerd and getting bullied for it is not a marginalized identity. The overwhelming majority of TTRPGs players in the early years were white men who despite being picked on had systemic power. The argument that nerdy (or poor 2/
or whatever) white people also suffered misunderstands the issues that people from actual marginalized groups face. Yes, you suffered. No it is not the same as the issues PoC, LBGTQIA+, women or any other marginalized people face daily. The fact that some think these are 3/
