Complete Guide to Bonus Experience Points System

Written Contributions

Base rewards for written works:

100-250 words: 50 XP
251-500 words: 100 XP
501-750 words: 150 XP
751-1000 words: 200 XP
1000+ words: 250 XP

This includes character journals, letters, stories, session summaries, backgrounds, and other creative writing.

Art & Additional Content

Base rewards for visual and supplementary content:

Found/Quick AI Generation: 25 XP
Moderate Work (including AI-assisted art): 125 XP
Considerable Work: 250 XP

Includes artwork, maps, music, playlists, educational content, props, and tools.

Character Relevance

Content that directly relates to or develops your character receives a ×2 multiplier to the base reward.

Team Effort Bonus

To encourage teamwork and shared creativity, bonus experience submissions that are the result of a collaboration between two or more players will receive a special enhancement:

The base XP for the collaborative project (determined by its type, e.g., word count for writing, effort for art) will be multiplied by 1.25x. This new, enhanced base XP is then used for all subsequent calculations (Character Relevance, Level Scaling).
The Character Relevance multiplier (x2) applies after the Team Effort multiplier if the collaborative project is directly relevant to any of the contributing characters, their shared goals, or the party's ongoing narrative.
When submitting a collaborative project, please designate one person to make the submission and clearly note all contributing players.

Level Scaling

Level is calculated based on the base experience for that session, after it is awarded (I am looking at "Current Level:" listed immediately under the big progress bar, not individual character levels after bonus experience is applied.)

Level	Multiplier	Level	Multiplier
1	1.0x	11	32.5x
2	1.5x	12	47.5x
3	2.0x	13	65.0x
4	3.0x	14	95.0x
5	4.0x	15	127.5x
6	6.0x	16	205.0x
7	8.0x	17	250.0x
8	12.0x	18	375.0x
9	15.0x	19	525.0x
10	25.0x	20	750.0x

Experience Caps

Level is calculated based on the base experience for that session, after it is awarded (I am looking at "Current Level:" listed immediately under the big progress bar, not individual character levels after bonus experience is applied.)

Note: Session 0 had a 1000 XP cap.

Note 2: You can make retroactive session logs (and other material) for previous sessions that you did not reach cap on. The level multiplier for that session will be applied, not the current level multiplier.

Level	XP Cap	Level	XP Cap
1	1,100	11	35,750
2	1,650	12	52,250
3	2,200	13	70,000
4	3,300	14	100,000
5	4,400	15	140,000
6	6,600	16	200,000
7	8,800	17	300,000
8	13,200	18	400,000
9	16,500	19	500,000
10	27,500	20	TILT

Example Calculations

Level 2 Character:
300-word character journal (100 XP base)
Character-relevant (2x multiplier)
Level 2 scaling (1.5x multiplier)
Final reward: 100 × 2 × 1.5 = 300 XP

Level 8 Character:
Original character artwork (250 XP base)
Character-relevant (2x multiplier)
Level 8 scaling (12.0x multiplier)
Final reward: 250 × 2 × 12 = 6,000 XP

Level 15 Character:
1000+ word story (250 XP base)
Character-relevant (2× multiplier)
Level 15 scaling (127.5× multiplier)
Final reward: 250 × 2 × 127.5 = 63,750 XP

Bonus XP Allotment: Shared Spoils of Adventure

To foster a spirit of collaboration and ensure that every creative contribution benefits both the individual player and the party as a whole, all earned Bonus Experience Points (XP) will be allotted using the "Shared Spoils" model:

First, the TotalEarnedBonusXP for any submission is calculated using all standard rules found in this guide (i.e., Base Reward, Character Relevance multiplier, Level Scaling multiplier, and adherence to XP Caps).
Personal Reward (70%): The player who made the submission directly receives 70% of this TotalEarnedBonusXP. This is your primary reward for your hard work and creativity, directly aiding your character's advancement.
Party Share (30%): The remaining 30% of the TotalEarnedBonusXP is contributed directly to the party's main experience total (the "Current Total XP" displayed at the top of the XP tracker page). This means every bonus contribution automatically enhances the baseline experience level for all party members.

This way, your individual achievements always contribute to raising the party's collective experience level and overall success!

Party Synergy Bonus

To celebrate and reward broad participation in enriching our shared game world, the party's collective experience can receive an additional boost when many adventurers contribute their talents:

This bonus is assessed the Wednesday before the game starts.
Throughout this period, the "Party Share" (the 30% portion) from each player's TotalEarnedBonusXP is directly added to the party's main "Current Total XP".
If more than half of the active party members (which is currently 4 members) have each made at least one bonus XP contribution (thus having their "Party Share" portion added to the main "Current Total XP") during this assessment period, then an additional Synergy Bonus is unlocked for the party.
This Synergy Bonus is an extra amount of XP, calculated as +15% of the total sum of all individual "Party Share" (30%) XP amounts that were contributed by all players during that period.
This calculated Synergy Bonus XP is then added as a further lump sum directly to the party's main "Current Total XP", benefiting everyone.
This system highlights how every individual's effort, no matter the size of the contribution, can be pivotal in achieving a greater collective reward for the entire team!
