Experience Points
Once the players have composed the list of Lessons which comprises their characters’ Letter To The Princess, they present it to the GM, and each Lesson is discussed: who learned each Lesson, what they learned it from, why it’s meaningful, and how the character(s) changed as a result of learning it. For each Lesson the GM feels is well-established and meaningful to character growth and development, the group of characters earns one Experience Point.
Experience Points are earned and awarded as a group, not individually; each character’s number of total earned Experience Points is the same as their group’s total. While players decide how to spend their character's Experience Points individually, the Experience Points themselves are gained equally and simultaneously by all characters who participated in an Episode.
