Tick hunting? Well, FWIW I wouldn't mind - its s'posed to be fun and if that floats your boat, I don't care. Happening in Heroquest? I found people tended to put it into stuff they were using in game anyway, but again I probably wouldn't mind too much.

I didn't even charged double or treble experience when increasing an ability by more than one either. One player wanted to put 10 points into one ability once and thats when I said that poeple can only increase by a couple at most during *down time*.

I think Ali (the guy who has taken over narrating our group, thanks Ali) is much more strict toward the applications of the rules on this issue than I was. He even made me pay double for unrelated to play increase! Scandalous! :-P
