I mean, only if you consider treating the game as tailored entertainment and giving the audience what they're there for is 'softball'.Thank you for articulating that. If you are right (and I think you are sort of right) what is the answer: TPK or softball?
I know there are people who treat the game as if everything has to center around challenge, or 'teaching' the players to do things a certain way, but it doesn't have to be and that's not what everyone is there for. Talk out what people are at the table for to see how to proceed, and if that's not an experience you're comfortable with or willing to do, someone else might be able willing.
