18:36 There is one feature that I had always hoped to put in the gamers plane that I'm hoping the version 2 will see - I wanted to put together kind of like a google maps for game groups so like you can go in you can plug in where your game group is and you can find people that are playing in a 25 mile area or something like that.
20:26 I actually do know there are a couple of games that are not play-by-post that are actually real-life games where people are using gamers plane as their repository and their long-term tracking for their game, which i also think is really cool. I once was going to start a third edition d&d game this is somewhat recently and i suggested that everybody just make gamers plane character sheets um just put it all there and then we could just view it right we i could review it yeah instead of having session zero just getting together
21:30 The character library was not what i initially envisioned it to be. It's kind of been it's kind of like a repeating cycle because people weren't really using it because it really wasn't what i thought it was, so people weren't using it. That's definitely a major feature that i would like to overhaul because, like you, said i think that that's a really useful thing for people to have both online and offline - like if you could just copy someone's character sheet for example and then change the stats or change the things that you wanted.
22:23 someone suggested at one point having like um a mini sheet for npcs where it's just kind of like name based stats and like maybe items or just like a description box um and so like to quickly be able to use npcs imagine if you could share those around
28:47 um it'd be cool to have more real-time chat involved because people are asking can we can we have a discord channel for our play-by-post games and i'm like i like the idea but if we start doing that we run into a lot of logistical problems um the admins would just have way too much work on their hands and so i actually did have a chat system on the site way back when it started and the chat
system a gm would start a session you could chat and when the gm ended the session it would actually save that chat to a post
52:47 you know someone pointed out like what's the point of me taking the birthdate and my initial concept was like i really loved how some sites send you a message on your birthday
57:19 at some point i think it'd be nice especially now that like in the recent past i've seen donations increase um it'd be nice to have like a banner or like a marker or like something to thank people for donating but i also don't think that should give them more on the site functionally it should just be like a thank you a credit uh a bonus badge yeah a badge like or if we ever get like um emojis maybe they get like a special donor emoji right
