I have never used the EXP gains for non-adventures.  Most people I 
have asked about this said they have never found a problem letting 
characters acumulate EXPS i nthis way.  BUt when ever I htought about 
it, I had a reaction simialr to Bruce's.  I do use it for NPCs, to 
allow them to improve betwen adventures.
