Reward Stars and Candy XP: An Alternative Approach to Distributing Rewards in Pathfinder & 5E

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This document introduces a new alternative in rewarding experience points (XP) to players and their PCs in the course of a pen-and-paper desktop roleplaying game.  There’s also some background / history, and some crunch-based, numerical tools and reference to help facilitate the incorporation of this approach into your own gaming group if you wish to do so.

Although the nuts and bolts and language of this document have been constructed to correspond to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (PFRPG), Fifth Edition (5E), Pathfinder Second Edition (P2E), OSR, and Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) systems, this approach will work similarly for any roleplaying game system—so long as there is some sort of concept like experience points to which you can create your own mapping from Reward Stars.

This approach is provided free of charge, for two reasons.  First, I genuinely feel that this is a useful, interesting alternative to other methods, and it’s worked really well for me over the decades as a GM myself.

Second, as a means of introducing GMs and players alike to the concept, since it’s used heavily throughout all Infinium Game Studio RPG products.

Enjoy!

Reward Stars is a pen-and-paper gaming concept that is used to power all games from Infinium Game Studio.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
