For purposes of trying lots of stuff, faster EXP gain would be useful. This could be accomplished with either increased EXP rewards for that which already has EXP rewards, or with role-playing EXP rewards (Alynean plays Stisnera approprietly as a gruff person, even when it gets in the way of the plot - it's reasonable to reward good Role Playing in a Role Playing Game, so it is reasonable to award experience points to Stisnera for sessions when Alynean plays Stisnera according to Stisnera's personality, rather than Alynean's; Mighty Eagle is merciful, fighting to disarm, disable, and convert rather than kill opponents when faced with them, so it's reasonable to award Mighty Eagle EXP for session where Brian plays M.E. according to the character concept; et cetera).

For purposes of attracting new members, it would be appropriet to start any relative newcomers witht the EXP of the lowest of those who have been involved for longer periods, and the GP of the poorest of same (counting equipment at full value, but requireing that most of that value be spent on equipment), so that it's still possible for someone just joining up to keep up - a level-1 character with only 100 gp to spend on equipment will have very little place in the party once everyone else has reached level 3 or better, and is walking around in tailored armor with healing potions on hand. When such things are stated, thought about, and deliberately addressed, people may be more inclined to join up later on.
