Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bob Aberton" data-source="post: 1285904" data-attributes="member: 1518">(OOC All:  Actually, with regards to XP, I have to make a confession...I haven't really been keeping track of it, much.  Which is to say, I haven't kept track of it at all.I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I tend to be an "on the fly" DM, and the fact that messageboard games leave me a whole day to think of something only makes this worse.I never take notes or plan ahead at all.  Practically all [with the exception of very important encounters, etc.] encounters I make up on the spot.  So far, this doesn't appeared to have hurt anyone's enjoyment of this game, but it is a problem when it comes to handing out XP.Looking back over the various encounters, combat & otherwise - and I said that I would give XP for non-combat encounters as well, such as the rescue of Lupe Sanchez in the storm in the first stage of the GRACE's voyage to Standishtown.  I will also give XP for roleplaying, which has been excellent thus far.I would say, that everyone should add 1500 XP to their character sheets.  You'll probably all level up before this next stage of the voyage is over.Does that sound fair?  I know I've been really slipshod about XP, so I don't want anyone feeling cheated; but at the same time this isn't a high-powered game & I don't want it to advance at warp speed either.  I'd just like to add that I really like how the game has been progressing, and I don't want to attach too much importance to XP and advancement at the expense of roleplaying.  Feel free to complain if you feel it's unfair, of course.)</blockquote>
