Story and Mechanics Links

AEIOU · October 27th, 2015, 11:30 AM

Could we have different colors for story and mechanics links? I'd love to be able to discern story from crunch quickly and easily.

Let's say I have an orc adventure with a dozen orcs that are trying to summon their orc god Gruumpsh. Because of the number of orc links important things like the orc leader's link to Gorzak the Destroyer is buried amongst the many orcs . It's hard to find the unique orc with so many other orcs to deal with.

I didn't even know I needed it until I saw it. :-)

I don't think I would bother manually formatting links as others in these forums discuss doing, but automated, contrasting formatting for topics vs articles link would be great!

I figured a few words were worth a thousand pictures.

And I agree with you MNBlockHead, manually formatting would be tedious for me. The gain wouldn't be worth the pain.

+1 for me on this, too.

Not sure I need it urgently, but it would be way cool.

I like it.

At the risk of scope creep, maybe another color for topics tagged with any of the the global Utility tags (Empty, Incomplete, Placeholder) and options for the user to adjust the colors used.

That's not scope creep. That's a great idea!
