That's my basic opinion. A well-roleplayed, well-posed scene is a gift in and of itself. A well-roleplayed, well-posed series of scenes--a game--is even more to be treasured, regardless of whether the outcome was what you wanted or not.
I got hit upside the head with this one at a couple of LARPs last year. In both (back-to-back weekends!), my character (of 5 and 4 years, respectively) died without accomplishing some fairly important goals. In one, in fact, he failed miserably and had his body taken over by a Great Evil From Before the Dawn of Time. But it was fun, and the roleplay I'd had with him was great, and I enjoyed it.

And in the end, isn't that what matters?
