Allow players to create a 'Will Not Play With' List
Sometimes people don't get along. Letting people say whom they don't get along with, and information a narrator if they're about to add someone to a game with a foe might be helpful.

Keep challenge outcomes if you remove a challenge from a scene
I often struggle with when/how to implement certain challenges I have planned, which means I sometimes add then remove challenges (on occasion multiple times) from scenes. It's frustrating to write two separate outcomes, only to have to re-write (or copy text, delete the challenge, then paste and edit) challenges. I would like to see an option to "Remove with outcomes intact" option for challenges, so if I decide to use the challenge later I can simply choose "Challenge 1 w/outcomes" from my cards.

Authorize the Developers to Delete dead games (those that have been inactive for almost a year, but the narrator didn't bother to Suspend.
I have several games on my Profile that I retired from because the narrators went missing, or got so involved in creating new games that they abandoned their existing games (and their players.) A couple of these games haven't even been Suspended by the narrators, and while it won't make my profile look MUCH prettier, at least I'd have the satisfaction of not having games that have had no activity for over 6 months (closer to 10 months!) "count against me" when narrators (or anyone else) is reviewing my profile and sees that I've retired from over a dozen games.…

Is there a way to edit or delete a comment?
Sometimes, after I put in a comment, I realize the comment was either unnecessary or unclear. I would like to be able to either revise or delete it. Is there a way to do that?

Auto-Save for Story Descriptions and Character Bios
Auto-Save for Story Descriptions and Character Bios.
Seriously... why isn't this already a feature?
I can't tell you how many times I've had to start from scratch because I switch to a different tab to take care of something for a moment... just to switch back to the one I had open for Storium... click on the wrong part of the screen, and have all of the work I'd put into it for anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours just disappear because of that.
Its REALLY annoying and makes me not want to even bother sometimes. This REALLY needs…

make narrator's list of players sortable
The list of players appears to be sorted by some unknown function, possibly join date. There are times when i need to list players by player name, or charaacter name or even status.

Add an Inactive Category for Cast
Our longtime game has had some retired characters but some people drift off for for long periods. I don't want to retire them without their request but would like to sideline them so they aren't cluttering the active list of cast members. It could also move them out of the activity summary.

Secret card
A card that narrator can give to one player or more without anyone seeing it or knowing about it.
It will create a “Game of Throne” kind a story
Example: Josh saw Gerard drinking blood from a man they just killed.
1. The narrator can give the card to Josh character and Gerard character, they both know that the other one know about it and it create a “cat mouse” relationship between the two, Gerard can't do much about it and need to be careful with his approach to Josh and Josh can use it to his advantage.

Stop using x/x/x time formatting for dates
The x/x/x thing is unhelpful if you don't know the formatting, as there's no real way to tell whether it means day/month/year or month/day/year.
I would rather it just say 12th September 2015 for example, rather than 09/12/15 and have that confuse everyone.

Ability to view 'X most recent moves' of a specific player
It'd be useful to have an option from a person's profile to view 'X most recent moves' (5, 10, variable) in order to get a sense of how that person writes and how frequently they make moves. Yes, we could just add them as a favorite and try to sift through our overall list for what the specific person has done, but this is time-consuming and imperfect.
This function could probably be linked in with plans for an upcoming search function (basically a one-button 'search for moves by this player' tool).

Shuffling Deck
Greetings,
I would like to propose tbe idea of shuffling decks. Shuffling the cards and bring new and innovate twists to stories and provide a challenge for the players and Narrator in creating far more interesting outcomes.
The amount of cards drawn per challenge could be a limit left to the desire of the Narrator (or the group as a whole). As well as bonuses could be bestowed to cards played which aid the players (such as playing a strength card which adds an extra card to your hand, playing a weakness which allows you to reshuffle a card in…

Allow stories that don't use the card mechanics
I frequently play games that would benefit from Storium's scene and move support, but they already have their own mechanics.
It would of course be possible to have the players GM ignore Storium mechanics except as necessary to manage scenes, but it would be nice to not have to bother.

Notifications, Part Two
And the option doesn't even seem to exist to turn off the annoying "you should invite people to play in your game now" email.

Optimize site for mobile - meta viewport tag NEEDED
Please include a meta viewport tag in your site at the very least. It seems like you use angular, and I'm sure there are useful plugins to make transition to mobile easier (such as http://mobileangularui.com/). Most people nowadays use mobile, tablet, and touch devices, and website design has now switched to a mobile-first approach. I think the loads of new game features and content can wait and that you guys should focus on a mobile design foremost. I myself am a web designer focusing on mobile-first approaches and have even looked into angular. I will be happy to help…

Have separate sections for Narrator and Player Play Preferences
The addition of play preferences to profiles is great, but it would be more useful we could separate "how we run games as narrators" from "what games we're willing to play."
For example, as a narrator I pretty much always run as a single narrator with custom house rules and a flexible collaboration style. On the other hand, as a player, I'm completely to open to trying games with rotating narrators, or that emphasize character and plot over gameplay (or vice versa), and with various collaboration styles.
So I'd like to have the option to say "This is how I…

Window Expansion Bug
I was expanding a text window, and when it goes over the comments the text from the window and that of the comments combine making it impossible to read the text where there is an overlap. So far everything else as worked like a charm.

Rename "vacation mode" to something clearer
The new vacation mode bugs me because vacation isn't a word here in the UK and it doesn't apply to every away situation.
Renaming it to something such as Active mode would make much more sense.

Separate profile records for suspensions of played games and narrated games
Currently, so far as I can tell, the count of suspended games in a player's profile contains all games that they were narrating and suspended, and all games that they were playing in that the narrator suspended.
I think it would be nice to separate those. That way, a person who has never narrated before but who has been in a few suspended games doesn't look like he, as a narrator, has suspended a lot of games. The current record could pretty easily be misunderstood, leading people to potentially avoid a narrator who hasn't actually suspended anything because it…

Please make it more mobile friendly!
I check my games on my Android phone and sometimes the text is too small to read on my screen, but there is no way to make the text larger and it won't rotate sho I can try to make out bigger that way. Needles to say, it makes it very difficult to tap on links in the drop-down menu. Please fix!
Thanks!
