I approach tabletop RPGs as cooperative storytelling. Usually the game master, I tend to design elaborate world settings for my players to frolic in. The rare times I get to run a player character, I prefer to play grumpy old people and characters with unusual superstitions.
Just now diving into FATE and DFRPG (and very excited about it), I'm most experienced in running D&D 3.5 and 4e. I've also dabbled in Dogs in the Vineyard, My Life With Master, and Stargate SG-1, among others.
You will often find me in the chat; come on by!
Currently running: A DFRPG campaign with low-but-variable attendance (and garden gnomes). In its very early stages right now; we'll see how I manage running a system that discourages detailed advanced prep. Getting a play-by-chat FATE Accelerated Editions game in the RPG chat up and running; it's set in the Enchanted Forest and I hope will be low-key, low-pressure. If you're interested in joining or watching, drop in some time.
Character note: Never short on Opinions and overambitious Ideas.

What would the effect be of zeroing your exp after every level? Technically the effect of zeroing XP after every level would be to return the character to level 1. So the players would hit level 2, level up, and then lose a level. Repeat until the players shove the GM's d20 where the sun don't shine. Obviously not the OP's intent, but a clarifying edit might be in order. |

What is the best way to prevent abuse of the gate spell? @DanRasmussen You're right, a group with fractured experience expectations wouldn't be right for this social engineering solution. I'd expect a lot of other problems to come up, too. Your group might benefit from trying the Same Page Tool (be sure the read and follow the instructions; it's not a survey). |

What is the best way to prevent abuse of the gate spell? @deltree Wish is unpredictable ONLY when trying to exceed the limits set forth by its description. "You may try to use a wish to produce greater effects than these, but doing so is dangerous. (The wish may pervert your intent into a literal but undesirable fulfillment or only a partial fulfillment.)" Many GMs choose to ignore this and make wish more capricious, but as written it's very reliable until you start deliberately pushing the issue. |

What is the best way to prevent abuse of the gate spell? Ask for strategies to limit imbalance, and if the way to do it is to provide lists, then the community will answer in kind. As is, your question is phrased so that it a) prevents some kinds of useful answers (non-list-based strategies) from being provided, and b) asks for long lists subject to debate. Neither interminable lists nor debate are desirable here. |

What is the best way to prevent abuse of the gate spell? This is actually three questions, two of which are the same general idea (limiting imbalance) and could probably do well together in their own question. The first topic, though, is far too subjective for any answer to be clearly "right," and would probably lead to interminable lists and debates. |
