[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 8262216, member: 6906155"] I think I said something similar upthread. It might help if I gave some examples of what I would consider Kobayashi Maru type scenarios: 1) In [I]Rime of the Frostmaiden[/I] Chapter 4 if you consider success [ISPOILER]as "save the Ten Towns from the dragon" then its pretty much impossible to achieve more than a partial success, especially if you are RAW about movement speeds. My players saved 3/10, and I used more realistic speeds.[/ISPOILER] 2) In [I]Sleeping Dragon's Wake[/I] (one of the included DDB modules with the Essentials Kit)[ISPOILER] the party is pretty much required to fail in order to set up the next adventure. I quote "Ideally, it concludes with the adventurers witnessing Claugiyliamatar’s body becoming possessed by Chardansearavitriol’s spirit".[/ISPOILER] 3) Not D&D, but in [I]Avengers: Infinity Wa[/I]r [ISPOILER]one feels Avengers cannot beat Thanos because the writers won't let them. Failure is contrived. They need Thanos to win in order to set up Endgame.[/ISPOILER] [/QUOTE]
