Disabling E-mail notifications
There definitely needs to be a way to disable e-mail notifications for games. It spams peoples' inboxes
12 votesNote that you can disable email notifications from your Profile page. You can also choose to receive only a daily digest. In the future we plan to let you customize these settings on a per-game basis.

Don't allow login using usernames
Login should only be allowed using email address and password, as both of these are 'hidden information'. Other users' usernames can be read on the site and thus make it much easier to target a specific user to break into their account.

Show asset cards as neutral-color (perhaps border)
If there is a 5-card challenge and a negative card is played, the challenge is described as tending weak. If a neutral asset card is played, the challenge is still described as tending weak, with 2 orange icons in the grid. To a player this looks like 3 positive cards need to be played to end positive, but in fact, 2 would do the trick.
With large challenges (e.g., 9 cards), where one has to balance strength, weakness, and asset cards just to achieve the number, the "challenge grid" is not very helpful, since it is a single color.

'unread' badges on front page game list
A badge or some other sort of indication on the front page game list showing/highlighting which games have unread moves or comments since you last logged in (or posted in that game?) would be handy for people with a lot of concurrent games, especially if their notifications are going haywire due to a fast paced game.

Link game play screen some how to Join screen. If you can see a game, and it's available, you can directly apply to join it
At the moment the sole way to join a game is through the looking for players columns, right? if you could navigate directly from looking at a game's main screen to applying for it, be so much simpler to find new available games. :)

Refill cards when -all- players run out, not just at the end of a scene.
Bear with me ... This would be an optional game setting.
Card Refill:
1. Individual, at end of scene (default)
2. Collective, when everyone runs out.It serves 2 purposes.
1: It ensures absolutely every one gets to play their cards. If you have primarily only 1 or 2 challenges per scene, the same few players, if they're quicker off the mark, can complete those challenges and thus take control of the story more often than other players, players who may not have as regular access to the internet.
With this system, limelight-hogging players run out of cards quickly, and…

require narrator approval for character bio edits
Add feature so that upon completing an edit the bio is sent to narrator with changes highlighted for approval or discussion. Saves having to try to co-ordinate off site.

"To the Top" function
In the mobile set-up specifically you can scroll forever and not find the bottom or the top of a page but there can still be a lot of scrolling in the browser as well. I would like to see a "to the top" option after each person's post and at the top a "To the Comments" and "To the Bottom" option as well as a footer with a link to the home page in it. These options will make site navigation easier on a mobile device and in standard browsers.

Game Rules & Additions
I would like to see narrators with more options. For instance being able to add a maturity rating to restrict youth from joining and a way to determine how much God Modding will be allowed if any. I've seen the idea for a custom rules section to be brought back from the alpha site, that would be great.
Maturity Rating- In case we have a younger audience. If it is rated "Mature" perhaps Storium automatically blocks their ability to join the game.
Modding: I'd like to be able to see if the narrator plans to Mode my PC in a…

Organize Commentary Blog Style
The commentary bar on the right would be rather more convenient if it could be convenient in the newest->oldest blog style, so that new commentary doesn't require endless scrolling.

Character journals
Allow people to write a side character journal if they were t involved in a scene, or between scenes, during intermission / what have you. The narrator could award new cards if they wanted, or credit toward a goal or sub plot.

show past games in a person's user page
Right now it shows currently playing games, but it would be cool to see the past characters (if public) a person played. It might help a GM decide if they think the person is a right fit for their game, etc.

Make assets consumable or acted upon
Allow assets to be acted upon, such as eaten, destroyed, split, etc. For example, a pie could be eaten, a piece of candy could be crushed or split in two, or a shirt could be cut up.

For those who don't want Karma
Karma could get out of hand, especially a thumb up / thumb down feature. It's vague, and a completely lazy form of player assessment.
What if a narrator thumbs down a player because he: doesn't like the player's style of writing / doesn't like how long their posts are / doesn't like how short their posts are? A thumbs down (or up) could mean anything, and tells future narrators absolutely nothing about the player's quality of writing.
The alternative?
Be an invested narrator. Search through your potential players' histories... and decide for yourself if you like them as a player.…

Allow Narrators to change Card Types
There are some existing Nature Cards that I want to use as the basis for NPC Character Cards, but there's no way for me to change the Card Type, and I don't want to recreate the entire card from scratch. I'd like to have either a drop down when editing the card (for Narrators only) or be able to drag and drop the card into a different card section.

Allow the narrator to remove a player from a game and assign the character to another player
I hope there's a mechanism to reassign characters to a new or different player if the narrator feels like a player is being a laggard or is disruptive to the spirit of the game.
