[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8504856, member: 6801845"] My wife did something along this line in a previous campaign. It was a combination holograph deck and X-Men danger room. We faced various scenarios, including one where we were supposed to fail a la the Star Trek Kobayashi Maru scenario where Kirk was supposed to fail but succeeded because he cheated. My PC figured out a way to cheat so it was quite apropo. In any case, she just set up whatever scenario she thought would be fun and then our instructor (my PC's older sister) gave us a review. No real monsters were killed, it didn't matter if a PC died, we just explained the fact that it felt real as "magic". I wouldn't worry about trying to justify individual spells if I did this, if nothing else it was just a magic room the training center found and understands it well enough to use it but don't understand how it really works. Which of course could be fun later on when it turns out it was just run by some aberration that was trying to understand our weaknesses. :) [/QUOTE]
