There is nothing so pleasing for a player as a little Ego-Boo, even if
it only is his character recieving is. Giving away a lot of treasure
and goodies to the town officials and getting a full parade, with
banners and music and crowds and everything when they enters town
afgian after a travel, is pleasing my players much more than winning
every encounter.

And then, the encounters have become thrilling, too, now that they are not
certainly won.
