After a Gaming Session
When the events of the gaming Session have concluded,
the GM and players discuss the events of the evening
to figure out who are worthy of achieving Wisdom. Below
are five examples, but not all of them will apply for every
Session. The average number of XP accrued per session is
3 XP per player, depending on the length and quality of
the session. GMs are encouraged to come up with unique
criteria if other options work best for their group or even
raise or lower the amount of XP players receive, since every
gaming group has a different style. For instance, some
GMs offer extra XP when players spend time to write expanded
background stories for their characters. Another
GM may double the XP given if their group doesn’t get together
often, but want to continue to improve.

è 1 point – Those Who Play: If a player shows
up to play, they receive 1 XP. Without them,
the game doesn’t happen, and they deserve
some reward for that.

è 1 point - Using Triggers: If the player used their
character’s Triggers to affect the Session by adding
drama, giving the group a way out of a problem or
introducing new ones, they should receive 1 XP. See
Triggers on pg. 133 for more.

è 1 point – Taking the Spotlight: If one character took
charge of a situation or was an effective leader during
the Session, they receive 1 XP. It’s a good idea for the
group to vote on which player deserves this honor.

è 1 point – Memorable Moment: If a player did something
to make the group say something like “That’s
so awesome!”, “Man, dude, what, no, really?” or made
the GM speechless from how cool or clever it was, they
receive 1 XP. This shouldn’t happen every Session, or
it loses its flavor.

è 1 point – Lesson to be Learned: If the character has
learned something from the Session, it is important to
award Wisdom for growth, in the form of 1 XP. The GM
should go around the table and ask each player “What
did your character learn?” It could be anything from
“My character will not underestimate a guard ever
again” or “My character will never again double-cross
Ibiki-sama. He’s scary.”
