Thanks Rob I was wondering abou this, but little deeper, will the player notes fromn say Player 3 be viewable or Synce'd? So the GM and all players see the notes?

One of the things I have been curious about. From a GM's UI/UX perspective are we able to name the specific player they reveal the piece of content to? Or is it an all or nothing kind of thing for player reveal?

Currently all or nothing. The plan is to make it player-specific in future releases (one step at a time )

This may be changed in the future, but that's how it will work initially. If you feel strongly one way or the other, I think there's an old thread about this particular subject in the Requests forum. |

Will the GMs and other players be able to see the notes a player makes? I can see how that would be beneficial for GMs. A player thinks the cook killed the victim in the parlor with a candlestick. It's not what the GM planned, but it sounds better than the initial idea so the GM runs with it. (I love get ideas when players speculate out loud.)

Seriously... your comment above eludes that only the player entering the comment can see their entry? Not even the DM? |

Yes, all comments will be private initially. As I indicated above, that may very well change or become configurable in the future, but that's how it will start out. There are pros and cons in each direction, so there's no one right answer that will work perfectly in all situations. Some of those pros and cons have been discussed here on the forums in various threads. We're starting with one simple solution initially and then we'll evolve it from there. |

I'm happy that it's on the table. I was glad to hear that players could make notes which led me to a HEY moment. Now I think the next step is that we need to start a new thread and hear what GMs think. Right Rob?

The ideal solution is to let everyone choose what is and isn't shared. But that gets a whole lot trickier for us to manage all the syncing, since it's essentially having multiple authors of information that can all be separately controlled. And that's something that will entail a lot of work still to fully support, so we might as well do that for notes at the same time we support it for all content. Oh, and I believe there's already a thread about this in the Feature Requests forum. You're welcome to start another one here in the discussion forum, with the caveat that anything in the discussion forum is not going to be given the same weight as the actual request threads when it comes time to prioritize things. |
