There are some hidden directions and implications in OD&D and AD&D on XP and leveling beyond just killing things and taking their stuff.

Commuting episodes can be like that. ----- Want to comment/ask questions? Leave me a voice message on Anchor: https://anchor.fm/thedungeonmastershandbook/message  or email me at [email protected].
