The REWARDS Page
As part of our desire to
incite new levels of role-playing, we have implemented a Reward Point
system. If you receive even a single reward point, you have received high
praise indeed: it means that your DM or your fellow players found you to be
a sterling example of role-playing ability.
How do I get Reward Points?
There are three basic ways to acquire reward points (RP). One
is that your DM may be so impressed with the quality of your gaming he may
award you a RP. This is likely to be a pretty infrequent occurrence. Part
of this is because we expect all our players to have a high standard of
role-playing to begin with. And the other part is that each DM is only
permitted to hand out 2 Reward Points per adventure! He’s not required to
do this… he can give out no RPs if he wants; it’s completely up to the DM.
The second way to earn RPs is to have the Player Character
party award one to you. At the end of each adventure, the players may vote
to give one of their fellows the Most Valuable Player award. In game terms,
this translates into one bonus RP. If players cannot agree who should
receive the bonus RP, the DM may cast a vote, or no RP may be awarded. Hey,
these are bonuses: you’ve got to be really good to get them.
The last, and probably hardest way to get a Reward Point is
the DM fumble. Your DMs, despite their best efforts are human too. And
sometimes they make mistakes. If you point out a major rule error, or
expose a serious plot hole in the DM’s game, you are actually doing the DM
a service by helping him to become a finer Dungeon Master. If the problem
is serious enough, the DM may offer a RP point to the helpful player. Keep
in mind that the DMs do not award RPs to rules lawyers or those who are
just being nit-picky. It must be a serious error… and its still completely
up to DM discretion whether to award a RP or not. Keep in mind that if you
are awarded an RP under these circumstances, it is your responsibility to
help the DM correct the error and keep the game moving smoothly.
What do I do with Reward Points?
You may use your Reward Points to purchase minor benefits
which will help you in the game. Some of the awards are rather expensive,
and you may have to hoard RPs for quite a while before being able to select
the benefit you want. There’s hurry though. Even is your character should
die or be retired, you may still use your unspent RPs towards your next
character. Some awards may be purchased only once, others may be purchased
multiple times. Some awards may only be acquired when your character
reaches a certain level. Check the descriptions carefully before deciding.
Benefits cannot be purchased while your character is on an adventure… only
between adventures.
Once your decision had been made, email the Player
Representative with your choice. He will make certain the RPs are deducted
from your character sheet, and the new benefit will be applied beginning
with his next adventure.
(Note to DMs: The maximum amount of RPs a PC group can earn in
a single adventure… not a session, a full adventure…. Is 4. The Dungeon
Master may award up to two points for exceptional role-playing and
problem-solving ability. The players may vote at the end of the adventure
and award a single RP to one of their number. Let them discuss it first.
Finally, if you (as the DM) had a major foul-up that the players helped you
fix, you can award another RP to a single player – either the one who
noticed it or the one who fixed it. All RP awards must be reported at the
conclusion of the adventure by the DM to the Player Representative).
