-  * The first game you GM per week and submit the adventure writeup for the game (through the website), you receive a total of 3500 exp. 3000 of this can be put on a character that has not been played that week (using the same reset at 7:00 PM Saturday at regular club meeting start time) or not already received GM exp that week. The remaining 500 exp can be placed on any of your characters. Any subsequent games GMed that week gain 3000 exp, which can be put on a different character that has not been played that week (using the same reset at 7:00 PM Saturday at regular club meeting start time).
