i think you have done enough by eliminating the tournament setting. in a narrative game noone should be upset about seeing toys on the table. you have the power in a narrative event to stack the deck if you think things are getting unfair too.

if that doesnt work matt is right, just start turning back the edition clock.

you could also play with smaller points, i believe you are already doing this in 1 of the sessions.

i would not use any sort of bookeeping, though.

also, since you are the dungeon master so to speak you can comp things yourself, you don't need a system.
