We try to play twice a month, but it tends to dwindle to once a month during the summer.
I'm running C&C by the book, so a lot of XP comes in big chunks of GP when the party hits a treasure horde. They do get XP for monsters slain, RPing, etc., too though.
They might be higher level now if they didn't themselves TPKed!
Technically, I think that's Tom Lommel you ran into - although I'm not sure why he is the face of Dungeon Bastard - I guess Bill Cavlier runs the Dojo from behind the scenes.

Epic!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? A year and 3rd level sounds mighty old-school and right to me. Suppose it depends on what classes they are playing.
ReplyDeleteStay true, and keep those XPs slim!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Something to pull out anytime my players complain about leveling.
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, how much of the slow leveling is due to infrequent game sessions vs. low combat/high RP vs. low XP per encounter?
As an aside, it's nice to have stumbled upon a fellow game mastering dad/blogger.

Dan is fair and the game is fun. I feel that's the only reason to play, right? XP be damned!
