Cudos

Just want to say that this has been the best thing me and my friend have stumbled onto for RP. With the chatbox for emoting, all of the visual representations and the rolling system, along with the ambient music system and the ability to draw rough sketching of cover and character positions for reference during combat... It just streamlines everything. Combat feels fast-paced and satisfying, and emotes are flying left and right. I've had a blast with my friend, and we're really enjoying the site. Good job, and keep it up. Would really like to see some new improvements in the future, like a custom character sheet (that had simple pre-made elements you could move about, not so much HTML coding) and additional streamlining for regular chat commands. Especially for the fonts of text to make emoting a little more stylish during certain events.

Hi Gridalien, I'm sure the dev team will be thrilled that you are enjoying your time here... the things you highlighted are certainly what got me addicted hooked to the site! As for continued development, you betchya! Since I joined not all that long ago i've seen regular and fast paced advancement which has opened up whole new worlds of functionality. You can already (sort of) make your own custom sheets with elements that you can move about, simply create a campaign with no pre-made sheet and use the attributes and abilities tab to create a bunch of attributes that you need for the system you are playing and you can even move those around as needed with the handles at the side... ok so they don't look as pretty as the pre-made ones but thats the beauty of HTML/CSS. If you want to take it further then i'd highly recommend mentor level status so that you could make your own custom character sheet :) As for your chat wishlist, this is again something that can easily be improved via the API (another mentor level perk); power cards in particular give you a whole range of formatting options which really add something special to the chat output, failing that the roll templates added to most sheets (or the default one also) allow some customisation too. I may be bias, but I simply can't recommend mentor level enough, and the beauty is that if you are playing with the same players regularly only the GM needs the subscription to give the benefits to everyone who plays in one of his/her campaigns! Really takes the edge off the price if players take turns in gifting the GM a month's subscription or split the cost by pooling some cash. Most of all though, have fun, this sites potential is limitless no matter your subscription level, just take a look at the wiki for all those little tricks and tips of things you can do =D

The code it produces is not pretty and thus I strongly warn against using it to create community sheets, but it'll do in a pinch for a private custom sheet.
My friend's got Mentor status (apparently), though it's not surprising, given the income she has. I'll definitely see what we can conjure up. She's made do with a sheet she graphically designed through an office program and pasting updated versions of my sheet onto the background for things that weren't just health, armor and all. I'm glad to have checked the site out. We'd kinda gripe about how text-only RP was kind of bland and having a site like this would be nice. Turns out, having a site like this was exactly what we needed.
