Create a Fan Comment button
Some of the stories are fun to watch from the sidelines and it would be nice to give props to talented writers.

World - Similar to.
I'd suggest that in a World description, that a list of books or movies that relate to the World. There are some of the worlds that I'm not familiar with and knowing how they relate to would help me choose a "more correct" world.

Rory's Story Dice
I saw a recommendation for allowing dice rolls for things like writer's block. The recommendation is up for review. I'd like to take that suggestion one step further and suggest direct integration with Rory's Story Dice.

Allow commentary full screen
We have some long commentary entries in our game. It would be really helpful if the Commentary label was a hyperlink to showing that commentary only, so that the whole post is visible at once. This would be similar to the way the show all link for the Notifications on the main page behaves.

Allow players and Narrators to edit comments
Pretty straightforward I think. Kind of frustrating if you make a typo and then have to give everyone another email alert just to explain that you made a typo and correct it.

list potential characters
The looking for players screen lists approved characters, but not pending characters. If it did both, we'd know not to both with a game that already has 10 applicants. You could also sort games in that view by the number of applicants.
You could let Narrator's choose their desired number, and then sort by how far a game is from reaching that number.

Support Robin Law's DramaSystem (Hillfolk)
Storium is already half way to being a DramaSystem game manager. With some additional systems to tie characters together and manage tokens between players most of the functionality would be available.

Custom Number of Cards and Types
I'd like the ability to be able to determine what cards players can start with.
For instance, I'm narrating a game of Jadepunk, that heavily focuses on unique items owned by the players. Having them design these as strengths detracts from the characters. I'd like the ability to give my plays an Asset card that takes up on of their Strength slots, to allow them to have signature gear along with a signature character trait.

A separate section for cloned story setups
I think it would be nice that after cloning a story, the clone goes into its own section so its not confused with the original story. It can be removed from the 'Clone' room after the name is changed or the game starts.

Copyrighted content
Add a flag to Storiums like the NSFW flag that allows the community to help flag games that might be copyright violations so you can check them out and take action if necessary.

Player Ranking System - Participation/ Engagement/ Ability
A simple upvote/downvote for player participation in scenes, engagement to the story, and ability of the writer would help narrators and GMs weed out potential potsquatters and dead weight. The writer turnover rate is awful right now.

variable challenge difficulty
Have an option that requires multiple strong cards or weak cards to "win" or "lose" a challenge. That would require players to work harder toward taking control of pivotal or climactic scenes.

Change the "character" symbol on the NPC challenges.
When choosing a character as a challenge, the symbol that says "character" is on top of the picture which obstructs the picture. The symbol should be above the picture, not on it.

Sort games into categories
When browsing for games, be abel to browse by category. Fanfiction, Literary fiction, mystery, etc...

add notifications to the sticky top bar
Similar to Facebook. It would be nice to be able to navigate through notifications from any page. Also, being able to mark them as read/unread would be great. In general, the notifications need a lot of work.

Deleting a Game should clear URL
I noticed that when I erased a game to start over the URL (storium.com/game/____) isn't also being deleted. Creating a new game of the same name results in a --2 added to the end of the URL. I can manually remedy this by removing the title prior to deletion but the extra step seems unnecessary.

Reward Good Play with MVP Awards
At the end of a game, each player (and the narrator) can vote for one other player (not themself) to receive a Most Valued Player award.
What this means is up to the players themselves, but it should be used to encourage fair and considerate play, and exciting and engaging storytelling.
Essentially, you would vote for whomever you thought made the most valuable contributions to the story overall.
To encourage commitment to stories, voting could be restricted to those players not retired at the end of the game.

allow filtering of games looking for players based on the "starter world"
It would be easier to navigate the games available based on the starter world - particularly for those of us interested in a subset of the genres available.

change definition of 'laggard'
It appears "Laggard" is defined as "a person who has not yet posted in a scene." Can we change this to "a person who hasn't played all 3 cards in a scene?" Sometimes that's what we're waiting for.

Get activity notifications via Twitter
I'd like to be able to get notifications of player's moves in games I'm narrating or playing in via Twitter. It would make sense since Storium already has my Twitter handle in my profile.
I don't want these notifications for "Favorite" games that I'm simply watching.
