I'm developing this rule of thumb that every RPG should, in the first
session, have some situation where the PCs shred some paper tiger opponent
(or situation)  in order to establish their badassness (or, at least,
competence).  This puts any later reversals into context, and gives the
players some yummy catharsis.  Sure, it may be a cheap thrill, but as
anyone who knows me will attest, I'm a cheap date.
