In this episode Saul and Jolene talk about the evolution of Experience in RPGs. Saul starts the conversation talking about how Original D&D dolled out the experience. Using D&D as one example of how experience has changed and how it is earned in D&D.
Saul and Jolene discuss other games and how they dealt with experience. From old games like Space Opera and Traveller to Shadowrun. Also discussed is newer games and how GMs are almost left out of the equation of giving out or determining XP. Games like Tales From the Loop and The One Ring are good examples of games where the GM is slightly removed from having to give out experience.
As Always we would like to thank all of you for listening and we wish you a great Holiday and a Happy New Year.
Music by His Best Shot, song Experience, off the album We're Better Than Our History.
