The majority of tables, these days, use Milestone progression rather than individual XP rewards. So it wouldn't work for most players.

30 is too many levels, period. Scale it back. A lot. :) This might be on to something. That said, I'm fine with death spirals. They...

To me, that "system" is good advice, not hard rules that try to codify what is IMO more art than science.

Players who think a 1st-level party can handle two Ogres are also part of the problem, even more so after the first PC or two goes down...

Yup. Something like that. Still, I was running a completely randomly rolled 1E dungeon a while ago, and I had the xp for all encounters...

Years ago while my wife and I were poor and in grad school, we co-played the windwaker In the Zelda series. She was the brains, I was...
