I really enjoy creating NPCs for my games. It adds a lot of immersion when each character has a portrait, and some details that the players can reference. The problem is that when selecting a character to post as, the dropdown list is ordered by the time each character was added to the game. This makes it hard to quickly find the NPC I want, and I often end up scrolling through the entire list (which gets longer and longer as the campaign progresses).
So here are a couple of suggestions:
Nice: Sort the character list alphabetically to make scanning easier.
Nicer: Implement a filterable dropdown, so that as I type, the list narrows down to matching character names. This would significantly speed up the posting process, especially in games with many NPCs.
The character selection dropdown in the "submit a character to a game" has a similar limitation, but it’s less of an issue since I only add NPCs to a game once, but posting as an NPC happens basically (almost) every post.
Anyways, will be happy if this is considered for improvement. Hope it isn't too complicated to implement ;)
