1. Allow narrators to pick NPC characters for scenes without making them obstacles.

   Narratively, I'd like to pick NPC characters that are currently in a scene and not have to make them all obstacles for the players. Perhaps I have three jungle explorers that I want my player to talk to, in order to get needed information. I'd like to be able to include all three NPC explorers as characters in the scene (with their pictures and such). But make the obstacle more general with a separate card.

2. Allow co-operative narration and world building

   I'm sitting here with my girlfriend while she's setting up a custom game. And since we both know what this is about, things would be so much easier if we could both edit the same things. But right now you can only have one narrator. It would be nice if a narrator/creator could invite other people to share their editing abilities. Co-GMing is hardly a new thing, and I'd assume eventual world building will be much easier to do with two or three people than alone.

   Thank you for your time.

3. Permit mutually-exclusive obstacles to allow greater player choice

   Right now, all the players are, by default, on the same "side" in all conflicts. Allowing the Narrator to set mutually-exclusive obstacles will let players use Storium's mechanics to work at cross-purposes.

   I know that a Narrator can set two Obstacles and end the scene manually when one is met. I think implementing this as a Narrator-side choice from the beginning will allow more dynamic stories.

5. Player vs player conflict

   There doesn't seem to be any way to have player vs player conflict. I mean I could create an obstacle, but that seems to be a little ... flat? There really isn't any benefit or penalty to the players other than just ... kind of being there?

   Thoughts:
   Be able to add characters to the character or conflict system.
   Be able to give up character's items and plot cards as possible rewards for winning.

6. The "Opposing Outcome" Challenge Card

   One way of promoting player vs. player interaction would be to introduce an "Opposing Outcome" Challenge Card. Unlike conventional challenge cards (with strong or weak outcomes), an Opposing Outcome Challenge would be used by players to determine which of two mutually exclusive outcomes take place. The accompanying image shows what two of these cards might look like.

   The challenge presents two alternative Courses Of Action. These COA’s might be in the form of two choices (administer conventional medicine or an untested experimental vaccine in a medical game; reason with a creature/monster or attack it in a sci-fi/fantasy game; voting for or against impeachment in a political game, etc.) Instead of just one set of boxes which tallies the strength/weakness/asset cards the players use, the challenge has two sets of boxes—one for each alternative COA. Once the characters have played their cards, the COA with the strongest outcome prevails.

   Mechanics:
   Once a player uses a card for a given COA, he/she can NOT play a card against the alternative COA (should be restricted from doing so by the gaming software). This prevents a player for playing a strength card against one COA and then playing a weakness card against the opposing COA (in effect sabotaging the alternate outcome).
   
   2. A positive card is worth +1, a negative card is worth -1; asset/goal/subplot cards (nominally considered neutral under the current system) are worth +0.25.
   
   3. Although both outcomes might be positive overall, the COA with the highest net “score” wins. (Example: Players favoring COA-A expend a strength card and two (neutral) asset cards for a net score of +1.5. Players favoring COA-B expend two strength cards and one asset/goal/subplot card for a net score of +2.25, thus winning the challenge)

   If the two Outcomes receive numerically identical scores, the technical result is an uncertain outcome, though the types of cards played and the strength of the accompanying posts may still allow the Narrator to declare that a particular COA appears to have the upper hand.

   Game Play Implications:

   This type of card would allow characters to work together in most situations (as they do now in Storium), but would allow the Narrator to force them to perhaps work at cross-purposes (or perhaps in direct opposition to one another) at certain critical points when an Opposing Challenge Card is introduced in a story. It would also allow for the Narrator to set up a “Faction vs. Faction” style of play when designing a game (Loyalists vs. Rebels; Abolitionists vs. Slave Owners; Vampires vs. Werewolves, Hatfields vs. McCoys, etc.). Players might find themselves holding their strength cards in reserve for use in some future potential challenge rather than expending them willy-nilly (how many times have we seen a player use a “Charismatic Leader” strength card in the largely throw-away “getting to know you” challenge of a first scene??). At some point in the game, one faction/player may find that they are in possession of only weakness cards and may realize that they are in a really bad situation when that critical Opposing Challenge finally manifests itself.

   Of course, there will be times when all the players are in substantial agreement on an important decision. In that situation, the Narrator might find that all the squares for “Outcome A” are filled with strength cards, but nobody is interested in supporting “Outcome B” with its still empty squares. In that situation, the Narrator has still given the group to opportunity to choose between two distinct courses of action, and they have done so. At that point the Narrator should end the scene and move on in the new direction indicated, even though there are still empty squares remaining for the second outcome. As noted above, in the case of “tied scores,” the Narrator would still have leeway to declare a given outcome based on the types of cards played and the quality of the player posts accompanying each COA being supported.

   One way of promoting player vs. player interaction would be to introduce an "Opposing Outcome" Challenge Card. Unlike conventional challenge cards (with strong or weak outcomes), an Opposing Outcome Challenge would be used by players to determine which of two mutually exclusive outcomes take place.

   This is a super interesting idea, thank you for sharing it! We will put it in the mix ideas we’re experimenting with.

7. Give Narrator full edit control always

   Sometimes mistakes happen, retcons need to be applied. Please give the narrator the ability to edit everything in the story at any time. Hopefully experienced players will rarely need it, but even the best players make mistakes.

9. Let players award Karma to each other

   Karma does well at encouraging players to write setbacks and complications for their characters. But there are other kinds of awesomeness that deserve reward! It's pretty clear the "Adjust Karma" option is not intended for that sort of thing, so what if there were an "attaboy" mechanic by which players could award Karma to each other for moves they really enjoyed?

   I'm thinking the Narrator could define a number of awardable Karma points per chapter, either per player or in a shared pool. Then by way of a "like" button of sorts on moves, players can zing Karma to each other for cool writing! This would add some mechanical oomph to Chapters, too: make sure to award your thumbs-ups before the story moves on and the pool is reset!

   Great suggestion, thank you! We like the idea of some manner of player-to-play recognition, and Karma might be a way to do it. Longer term we are also considering audience recognition — that is, people who are reading your story but not playing in it.

10. Allow assets to be set as Strong by the Narrator

    I like the idea of Assets, but they tend to be things that will help the heroes' chances. It seems a little off for them to be considered neutral cards. It might be better to either make them special Strength cards that always move things towards a Strong outcome, or to let the Narrator set that as an option when creating an Asset.

    (Actually, you could maybe let the Narrator set an Asset as Strong, Neutral, or Weak. The latter, especially when handed directly to a player instead of set on the field, could let them represent things like injuries, perhaps? Though I'm not sure players would be likely to play them if they were Weak.)

11. allow changes to "nature."

    As stories go on, characters change. I had a veteran monster hunter become a werewolf, for example. Alliegances shift, experience levels shift, and it would be helpful to create custom "nature" cards to reflect what characters become.

    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.

    Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll put this on our list…

13. Multiple Improvements to Favorites Implementation

    There are a number of ways that we could improve our currently handling of Favorites (Stars) to make them more useful for the community. Right now, the problem is that Favoriting a story also means 'following' it for update purposes, which can make it problematic to have more than a couple if you pay attention to your Favorites feed. Part of the trouble there is also that you can't just see a list of your favorites to track one story, and then move to another that's been updating when you're ready. You're locked into chronological view-everything (and even see comments updates for games you can't see comments in!)

    There are 3 changes I'd recommend to improve the Favoriting system:

    1. Separate Favorites from 'Following' (or 'Subscribed'). This allows readers to star a game, essentially 'liking' it as a signal that it's a good story, a nod of approval for the narrator and the players, but without adding it to the things they receive updates for. Following would be separate, and purely for that particular member's use.

    2. Provide each member a page to view a listing of games they're Following, and also a list of Favorites. This gives even more utility to the 'starring' process, since you can say 'this is interesting but I don't want to read it right now; I'll come back to it later.' A list of Followed stories allows a user to quickly catch up on one specific story without muddling through a chronological feed of updates for anything related to that one. It's an ease-of-life feature, but a very important one for encouraging readership (bonus: a list of Favorites would be incredibly useful to those volunteers who are picking Featured games; they'd have a list they can keep going back to for nominations and selections, check in on their progress over time, etc.)

    3. Allow us a way to toggle email notifications for Followed stories! Ideally, there would be two options (well, three including 'no email notifications,' as usual): an immediate notification, as is sent to a player; and a daily digest sort of email that summarizes activity in all Followed stories the member has.

14. Add a true wild card

    I'm finding in one game that having wild strengths as goal rewards is strangely limiting. I know there'll be more reward options in the future, but what if one of those options was a true wild card? The player could set it as strong or weak (or possibly neutral, I suppose) when it's played. That would allow for a LOT more flexibility.

15. 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 build parallel adventures from the same shared world.

    Yes! 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.

16. Allow Narrator-Player communication from the moment a character is *started* rather than *complete*.

    I definitely appreciate the new private commentary sections that we have on the player character pages--very nice. But I'd like to ask for one adjustment...it'd be nice to have that become available from the moment a player starts a character rather than when the player submits a character.

    Sometimes as a player I've had questions about a Narrator's world that I need resolved, and the only way to do it at the moment is to complete a temp character and send a note to the narrator with approval.

    And as narrator, I can see if people I have invited have begun a character, but I can't actually speak to them to find out if they are having any trouble in the process unless I happen to have an external way to contact them.

    If the comments became available the moment a player started a character, these might be resolved.

17. Not require three identical strength/weakness cards in character creation.

    I realize people have lots of opinions about this.

    My instinct would be to have one "constant" Strength or Weakness that returns to the player's hand after play, like a permanent schtick. You still get three choose-your-own and one write-your-own.

    FYI, we are still looking at this but the initial Gamma launch will have an evolutionary improvement. New characters will start with:

    2 Strength cards
    2 wild Strength card
    2 Weakness cards
    2 wild Weakness cards

    This gives you more flexibility at the start of the game (which you need it the most, because your character is new and not well-developed) without making the character creation process itself more complex.

18. Allow players to take over games as Narrator after extended period of Narrator inactivity or ineffective activity

    Some games stall when Narrators either go missing, or only post ineffective content that doesn't really move the game along. After a reasonable amount of time, or a string of ineffective posts, it would be great if the players could contact Storium and request that the game be reassigned to one of them.

    Most players put a lot of thought, time and energy into their characters and their posts, so when Narrators are absent, or when their posts reflect a low level of interest in the game, players have to either wait it out, or retire. Either option is frustrating, and seems unfair.

    There are many great Narrators out there, but there are also those who seem to be more interested in having a long list of "Narrating" titles than in actually nurturing the games that they started.

    There are also many great writers out there who are devoted to the games they're playing, and I think that rather than letting a dormant game die, it would be great for the players, and Storium, if others could be given a chance to keep the game going.

19. Allow challenge point overrides

    So, I understand that you usually only have three points per player per scene. It would be nice to allow a Narrator override if the fiction warrants or the players choose.

20. Allow assets to serve as Strong or Weak toward a challenge outcome

    Sometime it doesn't make sense for an Asset to be neutral towards the outcome of a challenge. If you're trying to kill someone, for example, using a Gun asset seems like it would be awfully helpful. Or if you're trying to cover a long distance quickly, it seems odd that a Car asset would only be neutral. On the other side of things, if the challenge is to take care of some guards while attracting as little attention as possible, using a grenade would definitely take care of the guards, but it would also make a lot of noise and attraction attention, which could be reflected well in a Weak outcome.

    The narrator should be able to specify when they create a challenge that certain assets will count as Weak or Strong for that challenge.
