Question on Advancement for this game, and perhaps a suggestion. Are we going to stick with the "XP cost is 10 Times the grade achieved"? In that case, it would take 60 xp to upgrade to Grade 6, and that's 10 or so Medium encounters.

That said, if I could make a suggestion, we're play by post. 10 encounters could take years. I've DM'd a few games that are going on two years and I don't think they've reached 10 encounters. One of them has only really had two or three combats period. It could go faster. It usually doesn't.

So, my suggestion would be to lower that to either 7 x the grade, or even 5 x the grade. Part of the fun for RPG's, at least for me, is leveling up and watching my character get stronger. That happens so rarely with Play by Post if you go by the regular experience/encounter rules. In the rulebook, it says 10 medium encounters, but then it says a Milestone is equal to a medium encounter and should have at least one of those every session. If you have, say, two medium encounters a session, and a milestone, you're leveling up every three or four sessions. Maybe every five or six, max. In play by post, that's going to be a lot longer.

And I'm not just saying this because I'm playing a Human who gets the equivalent of a Medium encounter every time he lands on a planet. Well, I'm not JUST saying this because of that, but it does help.

That said, can we just planet hop for a while? That would be awesome.

I have not played a game yet but I will re-read XP and think about it... and yea there will be some planet hopping ;) Especially since it takes weeks to get to different planets and the rest of the time you are all just hanging out in Warp Space ;)
