-Dividing up loot? Building a charter? **think for this game, we start them with a charter and let them use that structure until they think of something else**+For sponsoring lower level PCs to adventure!  //actually kind of like the idea that a higher-level PC might sponsor a lower level group to help out. That might create a new style of play in later sessions. //
  
-For helping another PC achieve their expedition goal **helping is its own reward**+For building a stronghold and ruling? **With crunchy guidelines attached**
  
-For finding something while exploring? **need very specific guidelines**+NOT COMBAT - The reward shouldn’t be just killing things  //Also, I hate calculating XP rewards for killing monsters. That sucks as a GM. //
  
-For discovering something cool? **probably too many gray areas**+==== Bad Ideas ====

-NOT COMBAT - The reward shouldn’t be just killing things+ 
 +For engaging in a scene with another PC **probably weak sauce, cause for dispute**  //I PREFER THIS FOR INSPIRATION/CHIPS RATHER THAN XP.//  Then good.

 You kill some goblins, but they are carrying dwarven-crafted weapons carved with symbols of a forgotten clan. Hmm, sounds like there’s an abandoned dwarven lair somewhere in this region. If you deciphered the runes in the depths of the dwarven mines, you could learn that the exiles established another hidden fortress in the valleys to the north. You kill some goblins, but they are carrying dwarven-crafted weapons carved with symbols of a forgotten clan.

 There were other kinds of bounties that cropped up in town: the local priesthood is paying gold for water collected from the Opal Caves to treat a spreading fever, or an apothecary who pays for certain herbs growing in the Frog Marches. These weren’t plots, just simple excuses to go out and maybe earn some guaranteed money if you found what you were looking for and made it back. There were other kinds of bounties that cropped up in town: the local priesthood is paying gold for water collected from the Opal Caves to treat a spreading fever, or an apothecary who pays for certain herbs growing in the Frog Marches.
