I'm trying to run my "adventures" in multiple-session runs of 3-6
sessions. Still, I give out hero points at the end of every session,
generally 4 or 5. And at the end of the "adventure" (I think of it
like a feature film, with the option for sequels) I'm planning on
giving out a bigger batch of hero points (I'm thinking it'll be at
least 10).
