One of my old groups quite memorably had a like hour long in character argument after a mission failed. I just sat back and watched them argue.

When it was over one of them was like “…we’re not really mad, right? I feel like we just had a fight but we didn’t.” No one was real life mad. it was pretty intense

It’s a great feeling.

But I have to admit, the good booze may have had as much to do with it than anything else.

And be careful not to bask in the feeling too much. Eventually you do want to get the party moving again. Once the weekend is over, folks may notice they “didn’t do anything.”
