[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8355460, member: 70468"] I am using a goal-based system where the players set (individual and group) goals and get XP if they complete them.

This gives us flexibility to adapt when the gameplay loop changes*, and it avoids the issue described above where the PCs though they accomplished their goal (achieved the milestone), but the GM decides otherwise.
