Just about to start a new 5e home game, and I'd like to use something like Greg Bilsland's Fun Points to encourage players to edit the wiki, bring food, buy a PHB, etc.

 

Wondering if anyone's adapted the table for 5e yet? Or if anyone else is using a similar idea in their game?

Never seen it, and with a quick glance looks way too silly and random for my tastes - so obviously I am not the target audience.  

 

However, I do plan on allowing players to accumulate multiple "Inspiration Points" with a variety of uses, as discussed in some of the other threads floating around here.

I guess in my DMed games I tend to allow players to try entertaining things with no undue penalty, and I think the inspiration rules can be used to fill this niche in 5e; just allow other players to give inspiration twice per session to their peers (they can't give it to themselves). If your players get a feel for it, you needn't limit it to twice.

In the end I've just gone for 50XP if the player has updated the wiki or posted on the forum between sessions. Seems to be working out fairly well...
