Manage Names and Reveal

[ruhar]

I have a couple of suggestions for managing names and revealing them.

While running a game the GM is busy with lots of different things. It would be helpful if we could click on the alternate names reveal button without having to go through the menu to open the Current Names window in order to click on the reveal button.

When using a module sometimes the players won't know the purpose of the room and the name would let them know. For example they enter a bedroom that is labeled in the module as Lord Mandor's Bedroom but the PCs may not know who's bedroom it is. As the GM I want to quickly see the room's module name in the left column but I don't want all of the alternate names to clutter the list. So have any name that is revealed make the topic revealed to the players.

Putting this back out there since we have the new Beta upgrade and more to come.

The alternate names reveal status is annoying. There is a bubble that doesn't act like any other bubble. It should act like all the others even if it is smaller.

For the other, I think you can achieve what you want by making the "real" name the topics True Name.

Probably more a bug than a feature request. Still... +1

Actually, the bubbles for True Name and Other Names have never worked like the Public Name, you always had to open Manage Names in order to reveal the name. It's very annoying. I should not need to do that while I'm running the game.
