Revise your conflict in the example of play
In your example of play, you have a "Protect the Innocent" obstacle which has as a Strong outcome "You succeed in protecting the innocent" and as a Weak outcome "You fail completely to protect the innocent." This strikes me as, actually, being dead wrong according to the way the system is described: Shouldn't a Weak outcome mean overcoming the obstacle, but with nasty side-effects?
How is a player supposed to follow the instructions "Narrate how you overcome the obstacle. Use the following text for inspiration: 'You don't overcome the obstacle'"?
I worry about this particularly, because I think that the…
1 voteThat’s a good point, thanks for sharing it. We’re probably going to overhaul our tutorials for Gamma, but will try to fix this issue before then if we can!

Update the list of world with all the stuff that's unlocked.
Kickstarter hit $250k, it'd be nice if the worlds that got unlocked were updated to reflect that goal being met. Thanks guys.

Create a Climax or Major Obstacle Card
This special card would be available to Narrators once per 30 moves or so. It would allow the Narrator to give a critical Scene extra heft by allowing narrator to play an additional 3 points of character/obstacle. AND it would allow players to use up to 6 cards during the scene in which the Climax Card is played, but no more than 3 per move.
I think a tool like this would really be a blast for Narrators looking to kick up certain scenes a notch or two and really ramp up the tension and pacing.
Given that it's a…

give Narrators the power to edit the character's cards.
If a character picks up too many of a card that you intend to spread out, or if they pick up cards that they are not supposed to be able to because they're not 'in the scene' where the card is.

Mark posts as "read", show posts which are "new"
Currently the user must scroll to the bottom of a long page to see new additions to the story. By adding a few fields to an indexing table, say:
userprogress
userid | gameid | sceneid | markedread | lastviewedYou could create some useful features, like highlighting entries posted since the last time the user logged in, and hiding posts older than the last the user marked as read. Also of course, adding the ability for the user to mark specific posts or the entire scene as "read" (the latter would of course simply…

Per move images / Illustrations
Allow the user to select a mood icon or image (or upload one) to accompany their post with other users able to view the whole image in an overlay if they desire. For the more artistic players this would allow stories to be illustrated.

Reminders to Player to actually click on cards!
I find that players often miss the fact that cards have text and images, just seeing the titles in turn-mode and forgetting to click them for more information.

Let us customize what shows up in our Notifications
It'd be great to be able to define what shows up on my Notifications sidebar: which game's comments, which game's moves, if my own moves/comments show up or not.
Also, the option to have notifications for your Favorites. Like, I'd love to be able to get a Notification on my sidebar if one of my Favorite players creates a new game so I don't have to scroll around in my super unorganized Favorites page. But you should be able to turn it on and off so people can choose how much spam or not their sidebar gets.

Allow move editing form anywhere in the story
Sometimes, in long or complicated stories, I find it necessary to go back and look over an old scene. it would be helpful to somehow 'pin' the move editing frame so that it is always available, no matter what section of the story you're looking at. Would save a lot of time on page reloads.

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.

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?

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…

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 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,

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!

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.

Changing difficulty of a challenge while a scene is active
I had the idea of giving a player an asset card that would lower the difficulty of a challenge if used. A kind of one off type card that would call in a powerful npc perhaps.
Depending on the roleplaying actions of the characters I'd like to increase or decrease the difficulty of a challenge or character.
