How do I like to earn it? By the bucket loads. In all seriousness, I did AD&D style XP awards for decades. But as I get older and game time is less frequent, I want to manage fewer things, so I tend to lean toward milestone now.

I have found that by level 8-10, I really want to play a different archetype, so I usually switch PCs. Most of our group is like that. One of things we liked about AD&D modules. You weren't stuck in a level 1-15 (or 20) campaign like most 5e adventures are. You had flexibility to easily end...

This you? ;)

Changing the font is easy. It's how the changed font shifts everything around that makes it a lot of extra work. You have to go through and adjust all of the text frames and images to fit appropriately.

One of the big challenges I as a small time publisher has with the digital/physical approach is you basically have two completely different products you have to create. It's a lot of work to have a digital version that hits all the dots for what a digital user wants and a completely separate...

Ironically, in a thread about best practices on Adventure design and so many comments about the value of brevity, we have a lot of posts that are just walls of text ;)

In a legitimate manner. I.e., advancing uses rules as written/intended, starting at level 1. If you started at level 10 or so, or played Monty Haul, not really looking for those answers. I'm looking for the highest level PC you've had, and roughly how long it took you to get there. In AD&D...

Working on it ;) As soon as I wrap up Shadow Fables, I plan on doing just this for B2. It's my favorite module, but could use some improvement presentation style-wise after 50 years of lessons learned while keeping the sandboxy aspect still important and up front. We just finished it recently...

I agree. I tried this with Tomb of Entropy, and got lots of good feedback on it.

The 2e hardback Monstrous Manual is one of the best books TSR/WotC ever put out.

To the OP, technically OD&D was my first experience of D&D even if I didn't technically play it. I was a kid in 1981 and saw my older brother and some of his friends play it, but couldn't make any sense of the rules. Shortly after, my mom took me to a game store (I still vividly remember that...
