After having narrated a few games, it seems to me that it would of great use for a narrator to have access to a way to set up the next scene or act in a format that could be saved within Storium that could then be applied to the story when needed. As it currently stands (as far as I can tell) the only way to do this is to create the scene but not "Publish" only holding it in "Preview" which works because it is saved but I have been caught out by publishing in error at the wrong time and basically killing the game. This would also be great for creating cards outside of the game that could be saved and then applied to the game as needed. Right now a scene has to be created (or edited) to have access to card creation. If there is already a way to do these things, I would be interested in knowing how.

You are correct Robert; cards can be created and edited *in situ*. What would be nice is a member specific format where cards could be created and saved which then could be applied to any game as needed. Thanks Matt; I appreciate the support. I know something like this is far down the scale of priorities but it seems it would also be an easy build out.

On scene creation, you're right so far as I know, but on cards, you can create and edit cards all you like through the Edit Game interface.

This would be awesome... Especially when your writers divert you with an oddball, but totally acceptable change in direction. I had a very complex challenge and continuation I had to work up...at the same time, the writers were into a great banter bit...I had to delete my continuation several times ...finally opening a word document, writing and editing there, and then copy and paste back when ready.
Also, rebuilding the challenge was a pain..I had to make notes. A sort of narrator "cue" would be nice...or sandbox. Good stuff.
