Remove or edit the DPI info on the request-for-illustrations blog post
On the call-for-illustrations blog post at http://blog.protagonistlabs.com/post/87614173284/call-for-illustration-portfolios-from-artists, it says:
World banners (sometimes called cover banners) are 650px by 200px images. To support Retina displays and accommodate future uses of this art to promote or expand Storium, we’re commissioning these pieces at print-ready resolutions (300+ ppi).
Avatar images — including backgrounds — are 150px by 150px squares. We’re seeking print-resolution images here, too.
Card art displays either tall (100px by 160px) or wide (182px by 120px), depending on the card type. Again, we seek print-resolution images for these.
150x150 avatars at 300dpi are 1/2 inch on a side. Is that…

Ability to add optional mechanics
I'd like it if Narrators could add additional rulesets to the game. Storium works great as a simple tool and I think that should remain the default option for most games - but what if the Narrator could add more complex rule sets on top of that?
Imagine the option to customize how Strength and Weakness cards work (set the default # of cards to a different amount, allow characters to have one of several different kinds instead of a single stack of one, etc). Or if you could allow Assets to sometimes produce Strong outcomes on Challenges, or if…

Avatar in game for Narrator
Add a Narrator avatar next to the character avatars in the avatar list in a game. Let it open to a text box instead of a card list. Text box can be used for any links the Narrator wants to add (email contact, info. site url, etc.) for quick reference. Having a choice of either the Storium avatar or one used only in that game (like the character avatars) would be useful.

Add the ability to update a bit of text on the cast.
Desiring to run my game a bit more like a classic RPG (with stats like HP, armor, etc), I'd love to be able to update a bit of text on each player as gameplay progresses. See attached pic for the concept. Thanks!

Friends list and pm
I think that being able to add writers and narrators that you love working with would be amazing. This way you can keep track of those that you like to work with.

Always allow editing of the OP in forum topics
It might be nice to be able to create a cleaner repository of stories or whatnot, particularly reminded of the Collected World of Darkness Games that would look so much neater if the author of the thread could just add all mentioned stories into the OP at a later date to keep everything at the top.

The narrator advice pages should talk about not writing in motivations or intentions for PCs.
A game I've been in has had a problem where the narrator opens a scene and describes (inaccurately) the motivations and intentions of the players. Even if the narrator is willing for these intentions to be subverted, that sort of thing should never make it into narration, because it's inaccurate, confusing, and stifling to players. New narrators should be advised to leave PC thoughts, feelings, motivations, and intentions out of their narration as much as possible, and let the players actually play and make their own choices.

Add Code For Home Icon
I check Storrium from my iPad and made a homescreen shortcut for it. I get a bland screenshot of the page as the icon because there's nothing else set (I assume, maybe wrongly).
If you haven't, I'd recommend adding the code from the following URL to make these homescreen shortcuts use the Storium logo:
Cheers,

allow a player to see only their own moves in a game
Sometimes I want to look back in a game and see where I left the character last (particularly in a fast-moving game, or when I've been away for a day or two), or to fact-check something I may have said several scenes ago. I'd like to be able to quickly see only my own moves in a particular game, to be able to do this without scrolling back through multiple people's moves.

Add an option for narrators to turn off the option for players creating characters to create their own cards
It's a HUGE pet peeve of mine when I spend hours finding the right images all following the same theme for specific strengths/weaknesses/etc... only to have every single character submitted to me made up of brand new cards.
I'm glad they can make their own in situations in which it doesn't bother anybody but it would be nice to have the ability to turn that off.
Thank you.

Cooperative play & workspace
There are situation where it would be fun to make a move together with another PC. This might be coop action, dialogue, combining cards. Right now the mechanics mean either taking action for another player (of course you can't play their cards) and possibly misplaying another PC/offending someone, or working outside Storium to draft up the play together. Multiple short plays don't get the same effect.
I think it would benefit the group's sense of shared purpose, and open up richer plays and PC interactions.
My rough thought would be a cooperative workspace where you could invite a subset of…

Provide visual feedback for new commentary
When you post new commentary, you're given control of the edit box again but there's no visual feedback that the commentary was successful until the comment appears. Might be good to have a "loading" indicator here?

Kickstarter backer icon
How about changing the Kickstarter backers' icon, currently a silhouette of a trophy, to something more relevant? It's not an award that was won, it's a marker for those who backed the early company on Kickstarter. Maybe a pickaxe? shovel? unlit campfire? candle? ignition switch? boot? The trophy icon could be saved for future use when someone wins a prize or meets a certain goal. It's a very minor thing, but as a backer, I'd prefer the icon to be something other than a trophy, something more related to the start-up.

Allow characters to set their pronouns
It's not always clear to the narrator what gender or pronouns a user-created character would use.
It would be good for users to be allowed to specify the subjective/objective pronouns for their characters so the narrator doesn't make a faux-pas using "him" when "them" or "her" is more appropriate.

allow the Narrator to give Assset, Goal, and Subplot cards secretly.
The narrator should be able to give out these cards to a player without the others seeing them. Knowing that another player recieved a "Threatening Letter" asset or "Spy on player X" sublot card could color some of the other players behavior.
Also, if a card is given secretly, it wouldn't show up in the players' card popup box if the other players click on them, but it would show up to visitors, the Narrator, and the player who owns them.

Autocomplete User Names
In the commentary track, I am trying to speak to another player in the game with their User Name. I noticed other people did the same, but typos caused problems and prevented notifications. If it would be possible to enable an autocomplete function, for user names within the same game, that would be excellent.
