I find reading them both helps me remember the session events, and helps me get a handle on the perspective of the PC. For my 5e game I'm giving individual XP equal to an 'Easy' encounter. For my Classic D&D game I'm looking at 5000 XP for a full account (the Rules Cyclopedia rules recommend max 1/20 of a level per discretionary award, and that's 1/20 what a Cleric needs to level). Ideally different players would contribute - can be more than one account per session. In-character the justification is that the PC is looking back on events and learning from them. What do you think? I recall doing this with 3e/PF, one player almost always did the accounts and if individual XP there could be an issue with even small XP and thus level imbalances causing a power imbalance, so I used group awards only. Individual awards should be ok in 5e I hope, and certainly in Classic.</blockquote>
