That's a HUGE swing in favor of opt-out, not opt-in! And it has nothing to do with a huge change in human behavior. The populace of Germany must go do something to consent to organ donation. Like most people, they are too lazy to go out of their way to do that, so only 12% consent. In Austria, they are even lazier (apparently) because only 1% of their populace goes out of its way to deny consent.And as a resident of Illinois, where the 38% to 60% comparison is coming from, the higher rate of consent has NOTHING to do with it being opt-in. The reason Illinois has a higher than average consent rate is because they made the opt-in process part of something necessary to make a living in Illinois (having a license). If the opt-in process were separate you would see a rate much closer to the national average.And this factor of human laziness doesn't, IMO, apply to RPGs because, as a DM, you've already taken more initiative than the average human to get something started. That momentum will more often overcome the default stories told in the core books and lead to you personal take. Like readin a book and then writing a screenplay. Your campaign will be "based on" not a word-for-word re-creation of the core stories.</blockquote>
