So then you have Gygax arguing that his position and royalties are untouchable because without his game there would be no TSR [cough Arneson cough], and pretty much everyone else saying sure, but now that there is a TSR how do we keep it afloat?And then when he finally hires a capable business manager she pretty quickly concludes, "Yeah, this guy's the problem."</blockquote>
