Word limit defaults appear to be broken
I created a new game earlier today and I can't set the word limits to be unlimited. Or anything else for that matter. The page just hangs when I try to make changes. Same problem appears in both Firefox and Chrome, so it appears to be on your end. Screenshot attached.

...call narrators narrators again, not 'hosts'. Please?
I know this may seem daft but narrators aren't just putting out cheese and crackers and I just don't like the term 'host' being used for games without actively rotating narration. It's one thing when someone is playing 'host' to a team of narrators, but games without rotating narration have narrators.
Maybe I and the other folk I've spoken to are the only people who care about this. But I thought I'd log it as feedback to see if anyone in the wider community agreed.

Allow blanket messaging to all games you are participating in
It would be nice, for those of use who play a lot of games, to be able to easily send the same message to all of them. I'm thinking for things like emergencies that come up, or other circumstances that might impact gameplay and also might make it somewhat burdensome to go into the comment thread of every game.
2 votesVacation mode will display an icon in every game a user is playing or narrating in; clicking on their avatar will display a message. This can be used to convey information to all games at once.

Homepage Game List Error
There seems to be some error that has popped up with my games displayed on my homepage ever since last night's update. Several retired games or games where I'd retired my character are now back on the list. When I go to edit the list, it doesn't show them under the list of games which should be on my homepage. I'm at a loss as to how to remove them.
7 votesThis bug should now be fixed. Your homepage should be back to what it looked like before our launch last night (unless you made any changes between then and now). If you still see any issues, please reply to this and we’ll investigate. Our apologies for the trouble!

Edit everything after game ended.
It would be awesome if you could edit every details after the game have ended. Like every mistakes in points and outcomes.

Add differentiation editing move for "major" vs "minor" edits
It would be neat if there were two (mandatory) checkboxes to choose from when editing a move: One for "minor" edits and one for "major" edits.
That way, if you're going in to just fix typos, syntax, etc, you can check "minor" and no notification email will be sent out. And maybe not even put a notification in the sidebar, either.
On the other hand, if you named the wrong character in your move, or have an unfinished sentence you forgot to go back to before publishing, or you realized a continuity error too late-- then you could check the…
21 votesThere is now a ‘minor edit’ tickbox that will suppress any notifications about the edit if selected. If it’s not the edit notification will go out to users as usual. Thanks!

Delete forum messages
It's dumb but it would be a real help if it was possible to edit and delete forum messages. It might be cause i'm clumsy but how often did i regret to post a message, found a better way to say it or posted it in the wrong section.

Show if players are viewing the game
Create an area, either at the bottom of the story page or perhaps an indicator on the players character avatar at the top-right of the story screen that lest you know if a) a player is on storium and b) if that player is currently looking at your game. This should be something each user can turn off in their profile settings but it would be nice to know how often my players are looking at the story as I can on other sites.
0 votesThere is now an indicator if a player is viewing the game page as well as if they are currently inputting a move. Thanks for the suggestion!

Allow adding links to player profile.
If I want to provide extra links within my player profile, all I can do is provide a long URL that someone can copy and past. It would be nice to have more formatting options within the player bio.

Correct Small Error on the "Completed Games" Pages
The page which shows the list of completed games has an error. The completion date for each game is mistakenly labeled "Started" rather than "Completed." It's a minor glitch, but there you go...

Allow more than three card plays per character per turn
I'm in a scene right now where it would be beneficial for character development for us to be able to play one more card each, but we're already at the three-each limit. Gamma updates have allowed narrators to change the card value of a challenge on the fly, so our narrator could make this an eight-card challenge - but we wouldn't be able to play on it, because we've hit our limits. I'd love to see narrators have the ability to cap the number of moves possible per scene themselves. Default at three, but adjustable up or down as the…
33 votesNarrators can now choose how many cards players are able to play on a scene by scene basis, anywhere from 1-5 cards per player. This needs to be implemented before a scene is opened. Thanks!

Round-robin narrator
It might be nice to have an interface that automatically passes narration to different players within the group at the end of a certain number of scenes. This would be an opt-in feature.
So, for example, if Alice, Bob, and Chris are all players in a game, Alice and Bob could take turns narrating every two scenes, while Chris continues to play normally.
1 voteRotating narration is now available for game groups.

Allow access to a complete transcript of comments on characters
Right now you can only see the most recent bit of conversation with the narrator in the comments box on the character. I would be really nice if we could review the entire transcript of the dialogue. As it stands, I have no way of accessing important information my narrator put there last week, and no way of reviewing what I tell my narrator to make sure I'm being consistent.
6 votesThis should now be fixed. Thanks everyone for your help in tracking down this bug. Our apologies for the inconvenience!

"Last online" data on Storium profile.
On a person's Storium profile, a tag with the date/time that shows when the person was last online would be particularly helpful in working out if they're just ignoring the game or have just been away from Storium for some time.

Is it possible to share an in progress story with someone without requiring money?
Storium is dope and does a lot of interesting things, but it's not like I can say it's like anything else out there. As far as I can tell I can only share with other 10$+ enthusiasts, which is a pain in the ass. Am I missing how to do this otherwise? Ctrl-C/V'ing links doesn't seem to allow it.
3 votesStorium has been publicly launched and games which are public visibility can be viewed by anyone with the link. Thanks!

Move the "Return to Home Page" button on the character pages
The "Return to Home Page" button is directly under the comments section of the character pages. The comments that pass between the Narrator and the players. Natural instinct is that it's the "submit" button for the comments. I can't tell you how many times I've absentmindedly clicked it and had to go back and retype my (usually long) message to the Narrator. Is there a way to add a submit button in the same spot, or move the "Return to Home Page" button? It was cause less frustration.
4 votesThe ‘return to game’ page is now located above the character comments. Thanks!

On the site, learning how to play... in "starting scenes" "anatomy-of-a-scene" under "Giving cards to players"
in the 2nd paragraph "Stregnth" should probably be "Strength"
