A meeting, requested to take place this coming Friday, would mark the first time the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have come together since the WGA called a strike on May 1.
I’ve already played through this scenario in like 6 different RPGs, I know how it turns out. The council is ambushed by Studio separatists. It’s a bloodbath. You and one of the writers barely survive. The political world order hangs by a thread and by your testimony that the studio representatives had nothing to do with it and were as much victims as everyone else. Shaken, you slowly turn to pick up the pieces, to the slog of putting the world back together by fetching boar hides and securing construction permits.

I hope they don’t take the first deal unless it gives them everything they want/deserve. We can go a while without new content for folks to live better.

Exactly, enough content has been made in the last hundred years to last a lifetime. If we miss out for a little bit on new content I’m prefectly fine with that.
But they need to be treated properly by the industry.

I agree, although it’s not really about our demand for entertainment as much as the strikers’ need to make rent. I hope the most successful of them make meaningful donations to help the ones who are struggling.
