This is the first draft and doesn’t include any ‘cursed’ cards. I’ll most likely make those a separate page definitely and perhaps a separate download completely as they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. I personally thing good luck should be tempered by bad or it’s not good luck, it’s a given. So a 1 bad card for every X good card ratio I think would be more pleasing to me but I’m not you so you’ll have to make that decision yourself.
A lot of the cards are set up as Immediate Actions to add a bit of a twist to them since they then compete for the use of the one IA that a character can perform once per round. You can eliminate that if you want.
You can download the cards here -Player Bonus Cards (82)
If you like them let me know. I do like feedback. I just noticed for example that my Quest Card has been downloaded 700+ times and no one’s had any comments on them so I don’t know if it was worth the time to put them up or not.
Also if you have any ideas for similar cards by all means share.

Brilliant! I love this idea. I’ve been trying to come up with a way to reward my players for going above and beyoned, both at the table and away from it without resorting to individual exp bonuses or monetary rewards. I LOVE THIS! GIMME MORE, BROTHER!

Nice cards, thanks for posting them. I like a lot of your titles and quotes, although I don’t recognize all of the references. I’m curious as to how often you reward these.

Thanks for the cards, they look great. I like the titles and quotes. I’m curious as to how often and under what circumstances you hand these out.
