A dungeon master who goes by the name of Deez on DungeonMastering.com recently came up with a good way to reward players for outstanding things that their PC’s did during a session. I am changing his method a bit, but what do you all think of this? At the end of every hour or so, every player receives a “point” that they give to another player. How do they choose which player to give it to? They choose the player that they think was the “MVP” so to say during that time. If he was a good team player or came up with a good tactical decision are all good reasons. Note that this point should be awarded to more of what the player did, and not his character, though playing the character well could deserve your point. What are these points used for? You tally them on your character sheet, and you can use them for a variety of things, such as preventing a random and stupid death, or changing a decision that would normally not be undone. The DM decides the point cost for the thing that the player wants to do. In this way, no one can say that the DM plays favorites, rewards are given for good gaming, and game play goes smoother. Remember, you cannot give the point to yourself, and the point must be given when the DM calls for it. What do you guys think? Leave a comment!
On a side note, Mike and I found that the cable we need to send the map from my program to the TV costs about $39.99, so we’re gonna make sure we all want that and if so I’d like everyone to donate a few bucks. Thanks for your assistance.
