    Abstract: This article is the result of a meeting between two educators interested in integrating tabletop role-playing games (RPG) into higher education. The first is at the University of Paris-Est Créteil and the second is at Valparaiso University in the United States. While our pedagogical objectives may differ, our passion for this type of game is shared! RPGs are fantastic tools for our students. In fact, as part of a scenario contest, several mixed teams of French and American students are currently imagining new adventures for the RPG Dungeon Crawl Classics.
    Abstract: Cet article est le fruit d'une rencontre entre deux enseignants s'intéressant à l'intégration de jeux de rôle sur table dans l'enseignement supérieur. Le premier est à l'Université de Paris-Est Créteil et le second à l'université de Valparaiso aux États-Unis. Si nos objectifs pédagogiques ne sont pas les mêmes, notre passion pour ce type de jeu est commune ! Les JDR sont de formidables outils pour nos étudiants. D'ailleurs, dans le cadre d'un concours de scénarios, plusieurs équipes mixtes avec des Français et des Américains imaginent actuellement de nouvelles aventures pour le JDR Dungeon Crawl Classics.

  2. By: André Casajus (HHL - Handelshochschule Leipzig - Graduate School of Management); Rodrigue Tido Takeng (UNICAEN - Université de Caen Normandie - NU - Normandie Université, CREM - Centre de recherche en économie et management - UNICAEN - Université de Caen Normandie - NU - Normandie Université - UR - Université de Rennes - CNRS - Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique)
    Abstract: First, we suggest and discuss second-order versions of properties for solutions for TU games used to characterize the Banzhaf value, in particular, of standardness for two-player games, of the dummy player property, and of 2-efficiency. Then, we provide a number of characterizations of the Banzhaf value invoking the following properties: (i) [second-order standardness for two-player games or the second-order dummy player property] and 2-efficiency, (ii) standardness for one-player games, standardness for two-player games, and second-order 2-efficiency, (iii) standardness for one-player games, [second-order standardness for two-player games or the second-order dummy player property], and second-order 2-efficiency. These characterizations also work within the classes of simple games, of superadditive games, and of simple superadditive games.
