View Character Thumbnail info by clicking on Picture on the posts
On especially long threads (which is more likely to occur in games with more than 4 players) it is tricky to find the cast (all the way at the top of the page) when you are making a post (all the way at the bottom of the page). Is it possible to make the avatars on the posts clickable?

Deleting a Game should clear URL
I noticed that when I erased a game to start over the URL (storium.com/game/____) isn't also being deleted. Creating a new game of the same name results in a --2 added to the end of the URL. I can manually remedy this by removing the title prior to deletion but the extra step seems unnecessary.

Allow narrator to turn off automatic poke
I see that it's planned to allow narrators to tag specific characters for a scene, which is great. Coupled with that, can you make it so that when a narrator does that, it turns off the "it's time to make your move" emails for those not tagged? I'm currently waiting through a scene that my character isn't in and while I can always just ignore those emails, I'd rather not have to.

Merge Favorite Activity into Notifications
As a user I want to track the activity in my games as well as those of my favorite games and favorite players in one notification list.
Right now to track favorites I have to go to another location. I think that the usability of tracking down favorites would be to integrate it into the existing notifications list. This would require some different treatment for your game notifications and favorites (the image I provided is a 2 minute chrome HTML hacking to roughly illustrate the point).

Dibs/turn-taking system
I'd like a way for the players in my game to reserve a spot at the end of the game that means "I'll go next and am working on my response". This would make turntaking easier for my group.

Reviews/Feedback when starring
Think of it like a guest book. When I star something I can leave both a public and a private message. Such as:
Public: Great read, thoroughly enjoyed!
Private: This is amazing, I've been wanting to get in on a game of such quality, if you ever need an addition let me know!1 vote -
Skip to latest comment/move button
Right now just above the scene text there are arrow buttons to go to prior scene or go to beginning. Can you add two buttons at the top of the scene for "go down to latest move" and "go down to latest comment"? It takes a lot of swipes on my phone to do it manually.

Allow real names to be disabled in email updates.
When viewing recent activity on Storium, the action is properly listed as belonging to the player's username. However, on all email updates, the email subject gives the player's real first name, unless they have chosen to keep it private. This destroys the sense of immersion and makes it harder to regard the players by their characters instead of their RL identitiess. I don't want to be distracted by the real-life name of another player while playing an obline game! Either make it possible to display the username instead as you do for the recent acti vity feed on storia,com, or…

Choose post placement
It would be nice to be able to choose where in the scene your post should be put. For example:
Jane posts: Jane pulls Sarah aside for a private conversation.
Bob posts: Bob and Randy are busy working on making the truck work.
Then when Sarah comes in to post instead of her post just going to the bottom she could select it to come AFTER Jane's post and BEFORE Bob's instead. This way Sarah and Jane could have a private conversation without being mixed in with all the other action going on. This could potentially be a way to…

World Map
I have in photoshop created a map of the known world that my setting would be used. I have attached the map itself. It would be greatly helpful if (maybe using an asset) a player could bring up the map at anytime.
4 votesFor our public launch we will be adding a place where narrators (and world builders) can share helpful content, images, and links.

make it easier to see what has been picked when creating characters
For example, if I've picked a given subplot and then the next player picks a given subplot, I have to go into the characters to check out if there are duplicates. This is probably fine in most games, but likely won't be as much fun if everyone in a given game all picks the same subplots.

Secondary email address in profile
It would be good to have an optional secondary email address in the account profile in case the first email address becomes inaccessible. Logging in could be with either address.

Move the cast list and comments sidebar further up the page
I tend to browse on a small screen, within a browser that is not maximized. There is wasted space above the cast list and comments areas. If that wasn't there, I could (for example) see all 4 characters in my game.

Allow emphasis formatting in cards
I discovered today that emphasis (asterisks) doesn't work in cards. Cards have limited space, and using formatting for emphasis is economical!

Track number of cards spent in a scene
After spending my third card in a scene, I don't remember seeing a notification that I was "spent." Having this notification, and a counter of cards left to play per character (maybe near the Challenges summary at the top of a scene) would be helpful.

Allow apply to join from more pages
A friend sent me a link to a game that needed an extra player, but I couldn't join the game from that page. Instead, I had to find the game in the "Games > Looking for players" page. I suggest that if a game is open for more players, there should be an "apply to join" link from the main game page.

Place Cards: Don't truncate or introduce a character limit
Currently place cards truncate after a certain length. Either allow all of the text we enter to be displayed, without truncating it, or create a character limit so that we don't have truncated text.

allow favoriting from browse view
The game banners look the same in browse view and the game's detailed view. They should act the same way. IMHO. Sirs. And Madams.

Filter by twitter follower list
I would love it if it was possible to filter by twitter followers. I am more likely to jump into a game narrated by someone I know!
