I don't really recall seeing too much info on that prior to the DMG release. IIRC, there were just some tidbits but not enough to deduce the XP system around.So, yes, in some areas there wasn't enough info to judge the context by, but there was plenty of substantive info in other areas (notably Character Generation).(BTW, much thanks to Riley for finding those links to the Black Pages and- surprisingly- Der Verdammte's old page. Been looking for those for a while, and the links here at ENWorld seem not to be working. Those were my two primary sites for info in the day!)</blockquote>
