Season 7 of Game Of Thrones is like a tabletop RPG that's sped up because everyone has to go home soon. If you've spend a good amount of time playing tabletop RPGs, you know what I mean.

You've somehow managed to align everyone's schedules and the whole group has shown up. Maybe even a few friends, SOs or "retired" players drop in and join the party.

So the GM pulls out their big adventure, the one they've been working on for a while, and you go to it. Everyone's having a great time exploring the world and role playing. Sure, there's plenty of hack and slash, but you also enjoy the slow bits. You flirt with the ladies in the brothel. An interesting character tells you the back story of his cool sword.

Then, as the hour draws late, you realize that you're running out of time. The GM's mom (or wife) is giving you the stink eye because she wants you all out so she can go to bed. People start talking about how they have to work in the morning. Snack supplies are getting perilously low.

So you speed things up so you can get to the end of the adventure. Everything happens very quickly. You flit around from one place to another. Conversations are short and to the point.
