There is a little bit of cognitive dissonance in this post, and I'll explain why.

"Adventure" is what you get when you don't get what you expected. Such as breakdowns. ;)

“An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.”

–G.K. Chesterton

The point of play is in the playing. An adventure is play where part of the game is unexpected and not fun.

If you want adventure without things going wrong, you want play. So... go play, if you get bored with that, you'll be ready to try adventure.
