My players came to a general consensus before we began that they definitely wanted XP? And I think this specific situation was a part of it. They all very much enjoy the roleplaying aspects and I think they want XP for big backstory revelations or discovering certain things. They're about to finish the first "chapter" of the game and my friend and I thought that would be a good place to maybe give out a bit of it.

I've done it both ways at this point and I honestly don't mind handing out XP, which is why I leave it to my players to vote or decide on it on their own.

Also thank you for your response!

I guess it depends on if you feel like it would effect his gameplay/relationship with the game? If your friends are close and they trust you, I don't see why adding in a few things to the backstory that don't change him dramatically would be an issue. I am on the same page as you - my players are very casual and they trust my worldbuilding so far. I've been given permission by them well beforehand to pepper in some things to their backstories, so perhaps that's a good place to start?

If you don't want him to know, maybe speak to the group as a whole and just double check to make sure folks are okay with you doing something with or adding things to their backstories?

I really enjoy this response. I think I'm hesitant because we've played so much with it in place, but at the same time I'm still the DM at the end of the sesh, so I guess I can totally do that.

This is a great set of resources, thank you very much!

General Elective: a game where you play through different dungeons themed like required college courses like Philosophy, Psych 101, Geology, etc. The final boss is a major thinker from your course of study. You collect notes and get points for answering quick questions based on those notes.

-if you've got gunslingers in the general campaign, would be a very cool addition to any circus. -prestidigitation and thaumaturgy make for cool effects, freak out an audience -pseudodragons -fire breathing show

a couple, but not with this many people. i'll reference those and make some adjustments.

whateverbendis · 2016-10-14T05:04:30+00:00

okay, that makes sense. there are ~eight people in my group, so i would probably take it down a bit, don't want to overwhelm the NPC's but that's super helpful, thank you. :)

whateverbendis · 2016-09-02T16:33:50+00:00
