blue chips
I've got a variant going using blue poker chips that has evolved over several recent games. During each session, players can earn a chip for a character by doing "heroic" or "cool" things; by painting a miniature to represent that character (a possibly recurring but underutilized option); or by writing a summary between sessions. Each chip allows a reroll of a d20 OR a 5% (cumulative) xp bonus at the end of the night (prevents hoarding). It works pretty well for me and my players.
