My current campaign has ramped up from 8 to 20 CP's per session over the course of 60+ sessions. On one hand, I think my players would have lost interest if it hadn't been gradually increasing, becaus ...

It would cool if a result of 16+, or something, taunted the target into gaining a DSP by ...

I've just never understood where this training time is supposed to come from. How do you reconcile it with trying to tell a fluid, fun, cinematic story? If it's between adventures, why not just spend ...
