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.

I give them a bit of a pass on that because they have to be really comfortable playing this character for years in front of a camera. I mean, even I have a type of PC that I like to play.

Was that a custom ancestry that they created for that particular stream?

It also won't help if they take another two years to come out with the next season.

It's been a couple of years since I played the game, but IIRC, you experience the same dissonance in having to switch to Abby's perspective in the game, and I appreciate that the show is forcing the viewer to have to do the same thing. It's why if there's some attrition in viewership, I totally...

Yeah, I think it's a different situation than the first season of Game of Thrones and Sean Bean. That show had a pretty large cast with lots of characters to follow. Last of Us has three main characters - one's dead, killed by another who viewers haven't really had a chance to connect with yet...

I'm not terribly surprised either, but I also think part of that is a lot of people are bouncing back from the fact that they killed off a main character. Just like the game, the show is taking the same narrative risks.

Oh, they definitely can be but I’ve yet to see anyone bring that movie’s sensibilities to their anthropomorphic character. The last Daggerheart stream where everyone played some form of cute animal certainly wasn’t. It very much felt like the game was geared towards those kinds of fantasy...

I’m gonna tune into the new show to see how it goes. Hopefully this one has less frogs, rabbits and turtle characters.

I think part of the problem is that it's easy for someone to miss the Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 titles in Seattle, and realize that the timing is going to be important.

His story strikes me as a perfect example of “right place, right time”. There’s a tendency to mythologize people who achieve success but there’s plenty of luck that goes into the mix, as well as an ability to recognize an opportunity. It doesn’t mean those people will always be successful -...

They’re really using lots of shots from the game. That whole approach to the aquarium brought back memories.

I think that makes sense since D&D is the 800 pound gorilla in the space - it's what people want to talk about. However, it's very possible that Daggerheart displaces other games rather than D&D. I suspect that would actually be the case, but there's likely not great metrics to say that for certain.
