I get the 'feeling cheated' reaction when you spend a long time at the table but get few character rewards, but the solution shouldn't be "we only expect you'll be playing for a year, so we'll make sure you can get at least one character maxed out in that time so you don't feel like you wasted your time". I can't help but feel that an accelerated advancement system is the wrong answer -- an easy answer to avoid doing the hard work of finding out how to reward players for playing even when they don't level up at the end of the module.--Pauper</blockquote>
