[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7971756, member: 7015476"] The fact that when it has been made its normal practice to mention it? I feel like this question is a little backword. Its more the type of thing when, if not mentioned, one would err on the side of assuming it wasnt done. Its at least a more conservative adjustment to not assume measures not mentioned were taken. Especially when not taking those measures is likely to yield a favorable result, therefore baising the reporter to not include them when its a report om something with a personal attachment to the body producing the report, which this is. Also, again, while this is the sort of thing that if done wouod typucally be mentioned (as is normal practice) when regarding d&d i notice a conspicuous lack of it EVER being mentioned. That is a very big reason to doubt statistics put out on d&d popularity. Its not the only ttrpg guilty of this usually tell tale sign of ommision (or lack of even gathering and correcting for data on a factor) but it certainly is one among those with that concern.
