Re: What's your advice on how to hand out experience points?
I may be unusual but I don't do EP-per-session much these days; instead, I tend to give awards at the end of significant arcs. (Such as completion of an adventure or reaching a major goal within one.) Part of this comes from GMing In Nomine so much, where every-session awards can inflate the character fast, part comes from having a PC in my one-on-one sessions who's more into the roleplaying than the point totals, and part (admittedly) has been my own absent-mindedness on occasion, when we break up a virtual session late at night and don't rejoin the action for a while.
