Character Chat Bubbles

Edited 1445463806
Wish you could see your character's dialogue and emotes on the field of play? So do I. I think it would be a good idea if we could somehow bind character chat to tokens with a floating chat bubble. Someone else came up with idea before, so I can't take credit but I know that I would enjoy it and other people would too. Making dialogue bound to tokens keeps attention on the field of play, rather then cluttering the chat log - which can be filled with dice and random chatter. Features like an optional hover delay to keep the field from being over cluttered and color coded dialogue that carries into the bubbles would be nice too. Plus with this idea, you might be able to make an invisible GM token for running events that pop up in the players face. Example: Map revealed to show dungeon. Invisible GM says:("NO ONE EXPECTS THE DRAGON INQUISITION!") Message bubble displays across screen. Someone else also mentioned little character icons for mood like: (Z Z Z). or (^_^) or even (=O) akin to many RPG games.  It's pretty simple and kind of stupid, but I hate the written text across the board feature and want to character bind and moderate it. If you feel the same way then please give this idea the love it deserves.
I would really like to see this feature coming in roll20 in the future. I was thinking that maybe when a specific token is bound to a character and you are speaking as that character in the text tab it should just pop above of the token, but also when the GM is in the Journal Tab or any other Tab, he should be able to write in the Text tab through the text bubble of the tokens. So yea the Text Bubbles feature would be a worthwhile addition.
