make goal cards private.
This may already be the case (and I can just see them because I'm narrating), but I just gave my players contradictory goals to experiment with texture in the narrative. Is that visible to the players? Or do they just know they've been given a personal goal?
16 votesCurrently, any card in play is visible to everyone, and each characters’ cards are visible to everyone. The only cards that are “private” are the ones that the narrator holds in their hand.
We’ve toyed with various ideas for making some information “secret”. This is a good addition that we will put into the mix, thank you.

distinguish between stories / adventures and worlds / campaigns.
I've created a game world for a story, but I don't really have a single story in mind (it's more of a context for stories and the first one is still evolving).
Ideally, I'd like to be able to take the story to a conclusion, then make a new story with the same persistent world and some of the same characters, then archive those stories under that world's banner.
At the moment, it feels like that might be the purpose of chapters, but I suppose it depends on the length of the story, and whether other people might want to…
46 votesYes! Love it!
This is something we have thought about quite a lot but have not yet built. We absolutely want Storium to support both short stories and long, ongoing tales that might span multiple “books”. Chapters aren’t quite the same thing — they’re just thematic demarcations within a single story.
It’s a fair bet that we will add this ability to Storium in the future, and we should be able to do it in a way that works for games and worlds you create today.

Allow a narrator to 'add card' to the basic pool, based on player's suggestion
My players came up with some great alternative character types for my world while creating their characters. I'd love to be able to add them to the pool with a single click.
2 votesAn excellent suggestion, thank you!

Dice Roller App?
Any chance of getting a Dice Roller App? Set the Die size (D100, D20, D12, etc) and the number of rolls? I'm thinking of cases of Writers Block or Creatively Got Stuck, rolling the dice for a random event, check percentages of things actually happening. Can't plan the fight scene? Dice war it.

Add a "backstory" page for each game
I'd love to have a place to put maps and world notes for the players' reference.
7 votesGreat suggestion, thank you! We are planning to do this in the near future.

allow for randomized cards
The narrator should be able to designate a set of cards as a themed "mini-deck" that he can attach to a scene. He can then give players "draws" from the deck over the course of the scene as a response to play. These decks could be random treasures, outcomes, unexpected events, or even just a random number generator. Whatever the narrator needs.
7 votesInteresting idea, thanks for the suggestion!

Stock Avatars
I would love to have a stock avatar feature--just incase people have issues finding the exact look for their character.
4 votesYES, love it! We’re totally going to do this as soon as we can get art in place. Thank you for the suggestion.
