After 2 years the highest level reached is 6 or 7, although the only real reason I chafe at the group's relative lack of interest is that I wanted to introduce a favorite old module--they're leveled up now, so after the players take care of some business of interest to their PCs, we're off to the races.<br /><br />I've actually felt grateful that my players are literally into the exploration/discovery angle of the campaign; it encourages me to become more imaginative in filling out the campaign world.Jaysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652611193354218021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094937232522894470.post-47814499495831053512012-02-23T09:56:17.120-08:002012-02-23T09:56:17.120-08:00For whatever reason my B/X players have almost zer...For whatever reason my B/X players have almost zero interest in XP and leveling up. It's kind of frustrating sometimes because as a DM I'd like to play around with some higher level challenges, magic, etc. When I run convention games and one-shots I really enjoy a sweet spot around 5th/6th level. After several years my B/X campaign is barely at 3rd level!<br /><br />I've ended up being more generous with XP to try to speed things up, but my players still seem much more interested in exploration, characters, and story-lines rather than chasing after gems and gold pieces. None of them are video gamers, so maybe they don't know what they "should" be doing!Bob Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12073807225519106277noreply@blogger.com
