Ellie really hasn’t had to kill people, only clickers, and her immunity plays a factor in her feeling of invulnerability, which is something that I think any parent or adult often sees in teenagers. She’s also dealing with her anger as well as not having the best role model for that with Joel as...

Has that guy ever offered one opinion or statement that wasn't derisive of someone?

That's the thing - I can plausibly see where they would do a split into a 3rd and 4th, but I think that would mean very, very little Ellie in Season 3, and that might be a bit too much.

I remember interviews with Jim Ward about why they made the switch from demons and devils to tanar'ri and baatezu, and it was largely due to seeing the bottom line impacts of losing some of the big box stores. It's tough to say that one has to just wait it out -- yes, the pendulum swung back to...

Having played some FitD and Mothership games recently, I would say 6 to 8 sessions is the sweet spot for some games, and perfectly doable in maybe most systems. Storytelling and characterization is something that can happen in any campaign, regardless of length - if I'm playing a narrative game...

LOL.

Uggggggggghhhhh. Maybe it’s because they keep shortening the damn season. I think a 4th season would require significant padding.

This certainly indicates that the length of time matters. In fact, I don’t really see any other point other than the length of the game that would make you write what you wrote. “Those of us who are experienced with TTRPG campaigns” - could you elaborate what you mean here? What exactly do you...

So all that matters to you when it comes to defining a campaign is length of time at the table, and nearly two months of real time is not enough to do that? All you described is the way you do things. Why do you have to get nasty with people?

That is such a wonderful movie - easily my favorite Ghibli.

Is that what we're really discussing here? Whether he was a failure? And if so, failure at precisely what?

There's also a entire subject devoted to management which has nothing to do with the products, and everything to do with the personalities, the processes, and culture.

But it's not the same. Look, I don't think these things can be compared easily because few people have gone into depth into the management styles of different CEOs - most don't have the access to those people, and CEOs generally aren't interested in rehashing their failures as much as they like...

I just think that these should be apples to apples comparisons, as much as that can be done. I mean, General Motors is a 116 year old company that had a bankruptcy 100 years in. Apple had multiple CEOs post Steve Jobs 1980s departure, and he was brought back in 1997.

I'm not following anymore...are we talking about particular CEOs or just companies that were once tied to well known CEOs that eventually went bankrupt? These examples don't really seem illustrative of anything having to do with Gary Gygax or TSR.
