Exactly the right sentiment! While a steady diet of disaster and defeat might be discouraging, the occasional dose can be stimulating. My Tiberius Hector, Sergeant-at-arms of Boldhome, was horribly unsuccessful in accomplishing his goals and was slaughtered by the rebel leader. Nonetheless, it was some of the best role-playing I have ever done. Tragedy and black comedy can be as satisfying as heroic fantasy.
