So what will happen when he finds out that we used his time machine and accidentally lost some TF molds? Oh and also went back and spoiled a few movies for him?

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW.

Should I forego the charade of XP for my games given that it is far more convenient to keep everyone at the same pace? 10 encounters = 1 level up, as per guidelines?

As a player, I like adding up my XP total and doing little things to earn extra. Bonus XP is a satisfying reward for roleplaying well, resolving an encounter cleverly, completing side goals, and generally making the game more fun.

Protip: Combat encounters are only one sort of encounter. You can also reward encounter XP for negotiating with important NPCs, solving puzzles, overcoming traps, and avoiding a fight. If players know that they can get the same amount of XP and treasure for finding a secret passage that allows them to circumvent an enemy, they're less likely to just rush in and chop the enemy to bits.

How do I not "be that guy"?

That depends on which guy you're trying not to be.

Did we ruin a movie for you while we were back in time also?
