Gold Star Pages: Elevate Your Creations

Gold Star Pages are a mark of quality on your campaign pages. A campaign with many Gold Star pages is a rich Living World.

How to Earn a Gold Star Page

You can see your progress towards a Gold Star follows:

  1. From any page in your campaign, click the "More" button.
    - Note: Except secret pages or if your campaign is private.
  2. Select "Gold Star Audit"
  3. See what's left to do to make the page a Gold Star Page

Key Features of Gold Star Pages:

Unmatched Quality: Gold Star Pages showcase unparalleled quality, setting a standard for excellence in content creation. Each element, from NPCs to locations, is meticulously crafted to captivate and inspire. It's odd, but even though Gold Star pages aren't voted on or curated (it's all based on an algorithm), I've never seen a Gold Star page that wasn't interesting and beautiful.

Rich Detail and Depth: These pages delve deep into the intricacies of your world, providing a comprehensive and immersive experience for both Game Masters and players. Every aspect is carefully considered, contributing to a vibrant and dynamic game setting.

Inspiration for Others: Gold Star Pages serve as a wellspring of inspiration for the Scabard community. By sharing your meticulously crafted content to the Content Exchange, you contribute to a collective pool of creativity, sparking ideas and innovations among fellow world-builders.

Create shareable pages: Optionally share your Gold Star Pages to the Content Exchange, where other GMs can like, love or clone your pages.

World Richness

World Richness measures how much substance exists across your campaign. It is calculated as the total number of gold-star criteria met across the campaign divided by the total number of pages.

As seen in the Gold Star Audit section above, each page can earn up to 5 gold-star criteria.

Every time a page meets a gold star criterion, your Richness increases—even if that page does not earn a full gold star yet. But adding many pages without meeting criteria will lower your density, since Richness is averaged across all pages.

Richness levels:

  • Barren — below 1.5
  • Sparse — 1.5–2.5
  • Lush — 2.5+

A higher Richness means your world is becoming more detailed and interconnected rather than just larger.
