In this remastered episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast from April 2022, we discuss experience and advancement systems in tabletop RPGs. We discuss classic experience point, milestone leveling, and other ways of tracking experience. We also look at RPGs that use that experience differently from DnD/Pathfinder, such as by using it to purchase specific improvements.
