I have that on my gamebook wish list, too. So far, I've only played Heart of Ice from the Critical If series, and I really liked it.

If a combat or interaction is going to happen, I stop instead, because nobody will remember the exact same and correct things hen we pick up next time.

I look at the time, tell the group "we should now wrap up the next scene and then everybody will have a nice night".If a combat or interaction is going to happen, I stop instead, because nobody will remember the exact same and correct things hen we pick up next time.

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD OCT 20: How do you make a combat encounter interesting when the outcome is almost certain?

I heard of games like that, but I don't think I experienced it or even read a rulebook that did not encourage always having real risk. Maybe I have been just reading too many OSR rulebooks (and most of my own experiences with playing RPGs were from a very long time ago, with older games).
On the other hand, in movies and other works of fiction there is almost never any worry about the heroes being killed in combat, yet it happens that those are still worth watching. On the other other hand, I also frequently fast-forward past pointless fight scenes... Especially those mandatory Hollywood 20 minutes boss-fights at the end of the movie when you already know 100% what the outcome will be (at least earlier in the movie there is a chance that the hero will be wounded or captured or something, or cause some other twist in the story, but not in that final fight).

In most campaigns, the outcome of combat is all but certain - and in many campaigns the outcome is certain. The players will win, the GM will lose, and then we rinse and repeat.
