Among all the people who took part in the ReRoll-Weekend, we then raffle off lots of great hobby stuff that was made available to us especially for this purpose and that will usually arrive at your place in good time before Christmas. It is absolutely irrelevant who donated how much.
“In real life you can't reRoll!”Unfortunately, that is a bitter and unchangeable truth. You can't.But: You can help. You must help.We help, all together.Be there when the Tabletop-Network calls for the ReRoll-Weekend again.Over 30,000 euros have already been rolled for victims of violence and crime in the name of our community. Every die counts.
And how does it work?You play. Whatever, with whomever, wherever — that's entirely up to you. Whether at home, in the club, in the shop, at trade fairs, conventions, with friends, siblings, parents, neighbours... absolutely irrelevant.The main thing is, you roll dice. And please: Roll as badly as possible.Why?Because you are allowed to reRoll dice rolls you don't like.Every die, as often as you want, in every situation. However, that costs you 50 cents per reRolled dice roll and per die.And those go STRAIGHT into a piggy bank or similar. So you can buy your luck.And the more unfittingly you roll, the more money comes together.
And then?Then you collect the money and take it to the bank.But it doesn't go to our private account or any dodgy intermediate accounts, but directly and immediately to a donation account of the Weisser Ring e.V. This account made available to us (and of course only this one!) is monitored by the Weisser Ring e.V. for a time window of about two weeks, so that after the ReRoll-Weekend we receive a list with all donors and are told the total amount.So far, an incredible well over 60,000 dice have been reRolled!Of course, we are always happy to top the proceeds of the previous year — but in the end it is much more important to us that the meaning of the whole campaign is brought to everyone's awareness.Every die counts. Because in real life there is no reRoll.
The “ReRoll Weekend”? What's that? What do dice games have to do with victim protection?No matter how you look at it:Tabletop as a conflict simulation is and remains stylised war gaming, in which fights, gang wars or battles are fought out on a playing field and we decide victory or defeat by rolling dice. Of course, we don't think about the fact that this doesn't work in real life. Why should we? After all, it's just a game and it's fun.“In real life”, however, things look different: People can suddenly become victims, lose their health, their home or even their loved ones — and then they can't change their lives by rolling dice or undo things.Fate or violent attacks can hit anyone.
What does that have to do with the Tabletop-Network?Well, by now the Facebook group alone is over 7,500 members strong, maybe soon we'll be 8,000 or 10,000 people who share a hobby together and have fun doing it.The Tabletop-Network has always stood for respectful interaction between its members, for mutual support and helpfulness within and outside the hobby, for respect, tolerance and social commitment — and we believe that with such a number of great people in our hobby community, it is almost a moral obligation to help and support people in need, especially if we can do it while playing.That's exactly why we created the Tabletop-Network-ReRoll-Weekend and have been asking you every year anew, to support us in helping people in need.
We help victims of crime.Regardless of gender, age, religion, nationality and political conviction, victims of crime receive fast and direct help from the Weisser Ring. For this purpose, there is a nationwide network of around 2,700 volunteer victim helpers in more than 400 local offices.In addition, the Weisser Ring is a knowledgeable and recognised contact partner for politics, justice, administration, science and the media in all questions of victim support and victim protection.The WEISSER RING was founded on 24 September 1976 in Mainz as a “non-profit association for the support of victims of crime and for the prevention of criminal offences e.V.” and currently has around 41,000 members.
