You can find this in the Dungeon Master sub-forum here.
Quote:Better rewards for DMs. Events take a lot of time to both run and create. After hours of work and dealing with their own and other people's schedules, what do they get? Enough AP for one check pre-200 with a limit of once per week.
The reward does not have a weekly limit, and it's much more than a single check. More interesting perks isn't a bad idea but whether or not it incentivizes DMing, which is a labor of love and something someone does for enjoyment rather than any kind of compensation, is difficult to say.
Great, I didn't even know that existed, good shit. And I was lead to believe that the reward was once a week to avoid the problem AP rewards had in Spires https://i.gyazo.com/9518032758c4fcc6fafb...12111c.png
I'm still a bit iffy on AP rewards for DMing. It feels more like compensation for your time loss that you could've spent RPing on your character than appreciation for your work. PCs shouldn't get stronger because you DMed an event that had nothing to do with your character.
More fitting rewards would be some I listed before. Respriting, sub, vanity items, maybe a DM badge in OOC and different coloured chat. Stuff that entices people to at least test the waters and find out if they actually enjoy DMing or not. Being recognized for contributing to the game makes people tingly inside.
