  1. Allow me to move the character description modal

    When I'm creating a character, and it's time for me to enter a description, the modal window obscures some of the cards I've chosen, making it tough for me to refer back to them whilst describing.

  2. Change the Subplot card icon

    I'm not a fan of the pennant icon for Subplot. It doesn't seem to speak "I AM A SUBPLOT" and it's a little too close to the Goal icon.

    Perhaps something like a bent arrow, forked path, or detour sign might more clearly identify what it represents.

    Thanks for the feedback, I totally see what you mean. We really struggled with this icon because Subplot cards are functionally VERY similar to Goal cards — they are both things that your character is working towards, and in both cases you earn a reward once you play all the cards.

    That said, agree that the similarity could be confusing. We’ll give this more thought, and really appreciate the suggestions.

  3. Call out that players can't play cards without an obstacle in the scene.

    I created my first scene entirely with goal cards, which confused players who wanted to play cards from their hands. If I understood that obstacles allowed / forced card play, and they understood that no obstacle meant no cards were allowed / required, that would have made the opening scene smoother.

  4. Movable request revisions dialog

    When requesting revisions, you can't see the original text, since the Request Revisions pop up is directly over it.

    Maybe have it appear off to one side or as a movable dialog?

  5. Please don't limit us in Alpha 2 or other updates

    The rules you described for Alpha 2 are neat, but not at all how we've been running our games. Please consider giving us tools, suggestions on how to use the tools, but also many alternate ways to use those tools. That's the best way you can build the biggest most diverse community. For example in my games cards are like criticals, plain and simple. You couldn't have done it before? With a card now you can. Couldn't have seen the clue? With a card now you can. I don't like the idea of players closing the story as they don't…

    Thank you for the honest comments and for caring enough to write us about your concerns!

    When Alpha 2 launches existing games will be unaffected and unchanged, so your existing games will keep working exactly the way they have been, no need to fear.

    New games will use the new Alpha 2 rules. When they’re ready I hope you’ll want to give the new rules a try and let us know what you think!

  6. Commentary comment box too small

    On the main page for our game. This is about the Commentary area on the right side of the screen.

    The box should be expanded down more or at least grow as I type. It doesn't show very much while I'm entering in Text.

  7. "Like"-ing moves, scenes, characters, etc.

    I think that it would be neat if there was a like button on moves, so that you could show other players when you liked what they were doing without having to write a comment.

    It would be gratifying way of telling people to "do more of this".

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Just wanted to make sure you saw that you can write and save scene drafts? That allows you to write the next scene before publishing it.

    If you’re talking about writing scenes that are further into the story’s future — say, beyond the next scene — that seems difficult since the narrator doesn’t yet know what the players are going to do next, right?

    Thanks for any additional thoughts on this…

  9. Dice Roller App?

    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.

  10. implement a "bulk copy" button.

    A method to make multiple copies of one or more cards would be great.

  11. Allow editing of the "poke" message

    The "poke" feature is handy, and the email that goes out is serviceable, but sometimes I don't feel that "holding up the action" is the way I want to phrase my notification. Any chance the poke function could provide an editable text box?

  12. Allow people to browse and share cards from other games

    Along with the privacy controls some others have suggested, I think it would be super cool if you would enable a searchable catalog of cards across all genres.

    Like if I need an "Arrogant" card, I could browse all of the cards storytellers have permitted to be "re-used" and choose the one I like best.

  13. Add more info about the setting at character creation

    When I was invited to the game, it wasn't very clear what was going on in the setting that was chosen. I guess I am supposed to help invent the setting by adding facts and establishing things in my character's bio, but it wasn't clear that this is how it's supposed to work (I just know that's generally how it goes in story games). I think it would be better if there were either more info about the chosen setting or if there were more guidance about how story games work for first time players and the extent of their…

    Thank you for the feedback, that’s really helpful perspective. Agree we need to do more here. There’s (usually) more context available as part of the fictional world you’re playing in, but we’re perhaps not showing enough of it to the new player. You also make a good point about the player’s agency over their character and the setting itself; we are looking for ways to make that clearer to newcomers!

  14. More Card Slots at Character Creation

    I like the way that you create characters right now, in that you pick your archetype and your strength and your weakness. But I was wondering if there was a way to pick more cards at creation. Maybe just have it be something the narrator can set when they start the game. "Players are allowed to start with this many cards."

    I assume that once the game starts a player can accumulate any number of cards, but starting off with a couple more could change the tone of the game... and being able to start with five cards would make…

  15. Include default portrait options with settings

    Since a portrait is required to submit a character, having a handful of options unique to each setting would be helpful. It might also be expensive to create that library of images.

    Great idea, thank you! We’re planning to build up an art library (probably as part of an upcoming Kickstarter campaign), but I also like the idea of including default character portraits as a part of the fictional world itself. That would be really useful.

  16. Add a "backstory" page for each game

    I'd love to have a place to put maps and world notes for the players' reference.

  17. allow for randomized cards

    The narrator should be able to designate a set of cards as a themed "mini-deck" that he can attach to a scene. He can then give players "draws" from the deck over the course of the scene as a response to play. These decks could be random treasures, outcomes, unexpected events, or even just a random number generator. Whatever the narrator needs.

  20. Provide EVEN MORE help for first-time narrators

    So you guys have done a fine job helping new narrators get started. But I'm needy and want even more help for my first game.

    1. Sample description. I won't go so far as to say you need to give me a title, but even the short description had me freezing up with writer's block. Stephen told me that there's a pre-written first scene -- awesome! But I hit the description first and that was a hurdle.

    2. Checklist? Or something like it. The "% Configured" bar is fine, but let me know the steps I'm missing! You have them color coded…

    Thanks for the great feedback! Responding your points in turn:

    1. Totally hear you about the game description being a “blank page” of sorts. We here at hate blank pages! We’ll come up with a way to help you out with this step.

    2. There actually is already a checklist of remaining items, just to the left of the progress bar. We might need to make it more visible…

    3. You can find a couple of example games at the following URLs:
