Many teams are lead and/or directed by incompetent people who focus more on advancing their own career than shipping a good product.

The upper management is rotten to the core and full of people skilled only in sucking up to the directors....

Survey your developers to get an idea on the scale of mismanagement that's going on on a daily basis and get rid of all the producers and/or directors indicated by the results.

the staff were enthusiastic

Cons

Everything from the managment to the staff not know what a Table top RPG is supposed to be.They seem to be too focused on simplifing the experience rather than elucidating the groundworks of a RPG system and redefining by adding more depth and complexities it.

Advice to Management

Perhaps if they start focusing on creating a RPG rather than a glorified action adventure game with a worthless perk based progession system and create a new RPG from the ground up, maybe then they'll start earning there namesake as the 'industry leader on creating RPG's' ideology
