Image uploads?
Some friends and I are playing a fantasy/medieval game in Storium and loving every minute of it! However, given the complex nature of our game, sometimes it takes a significant amount of text just to portray a simple idea or location.
The age old axiom "A picture is worth a thousand words," comes to mind here. I was wondering if you could implement a feature that allowed users to insert images into the "MOVE" text.
For example, if I was describing a mythological beast, it would be enormously helpful to have a drawing of it uploaded. Or if geography was becoming confusing, a map would save a whole lot of explaining. Just a thought.

I'm running a game where this could be very useful - its' based on a d&d campaign, and I want to give the players a rough map of the dungeon (to expedite gameplay), for sweet-talking several NPCs. I'm doing this be setting it as the image for the scene. However, it would be useful if there was a dedicated tab in the green-room/in game for images to be added as they are given as assets. The asset cards only allow a tiny image in game.

I can see where this might appeal to some players, but I worry that the game would get "clogged" with images. Besides, this is, after all, a **writing** game. We're *supposed* to be coming up with those "thousand words;" that's the whole point of being here! :-)

Out of habit I grabbed a couple images from the net as I was taking my move. Unfortunately, I didn't get to use them. :(
Maybe letting us drop one image into our move could be fun.
