This is kind of a "Co-GM-Lite" request. Given that Realm Works was built from the ground-up with the concept of having one GM in control of everything, I understand that changing that might be a logistical nightmare. That being said, would it be difficult to allow a specified invitee to just view everything, revealed or not?

Then they can communicate suggestions/edits/ideas/whatever by other means (email, instant message, video conference, et al).

I think this would fall under the request for 'Individual Reveal' where you can assign what is revealed to each individual PC in your campaign. I know that was requested a long time ago and is supposedly on their 'to do list.' There have also been other requests for co-GM capability, but I'm not sure how likely those are or how soon they might be implemented.

Anyway, +1 for any co-GM capability.

Saying it falls in that category would depend on how it's done. Right now, when you reveal a snippet, the information about that reveal is applied to the snippet. With individual player reveal, I imagine that there would still be information applied to the snippet about which players can view it.

Basically, what I'm asking for is the ability for a player to see snippets that haven't been revealed to any players. Right now, for instance, if I open a realm as a GM, I can see every topic, and every snippet within each topic by the mere virtue that the topics and snippets exist. I don't have to reveal them to myself.

I'm requesting the ability to grant that same ability to selected players.

It sounds like you're asking for a "watcher" or "reviewer" role, separate from Player or GM.. someone who has access to all content as read-only.. and someone who would not be a player (as they would need separate accounts to have separate roles in the same db).

Aren't they working on a "per character reveal feature", meaning one player can controll at least two different characters with different snippets of the same realm revealed to them?
IIRC this feature is part of the tpftbiratCMiup&r ("top priority features to be implemented rightish after the Content Market is up an running", e.g. Custom Calendars, Player Journals and per character reveal).

But having said that, +1 for any co-GM capability, even if it is "only" a reviewing option.

I still think this falls under the 'Individual Player Reveal' maybe with an added option of Reveal All/Everything added to the feature.

Yes. Well put. Thank you.

This would be very useful - I like the idea in the original post.

Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry.
Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after.

More like an editor role. This could be very useful.

Of course eventually what would be beyond wonderful is true multi user collaboration.

By the way, this would be idea for cases where someone asks "how did you set up your realm"... they could be invited as such a "Guest Viewer" to see the setup.
