I'm considering a different approach for a hex crawl my players want me to run, but that's about the only scenario I would want to use incremental XP awards.I prefer flat awards at the table. I don't like Inspiration dice (unless group, not DM-driven) or roleplaying rewards, and I despise the "use XP as a training stick" approach favoured by posters above. Lay out the campaign goals in the first session. If the players find the fun elsewhere, then adjust your game. Don't start whacking them across the knuckles.I want the party to level up as one. The reasons are not entirely unselfish. It makes my life a lot easier. But watching players fall behind, watching players fish for rewards, watching quiet players get punished, and not trusting my own ability to be fair to everyone at the table--despite all efforts made to be so--means I've given up on individual awards.</blockquote>
