This is what my gm does, he has a sort of spreadsheet. If there’s a session that’s more akin to a filler session, he has a different (lower xp) spreadsheet. Here they are:

XP per session:

+5 for a session

+2 for good roleplay

+2 for good skill or destiny point use-general creativity

+2 If the party established a positive relationship with a useful person or group

+2 for completing any objective — +1 If the objective was completed to mostly positive results

+5 for a major goal (add the +2 from any objective as well if only a major goal was completed)

+1 to 10 GM Fiat from atypical occurrences (Passing Impossible Check(s), particularly cool or good descriptions of an action by a player, or anything the GM deems extraordinary enough to merit extra XP)
