So I know this have come up a few times; the need to hide specifics, stop specific things, show certain players but not others etc etc...

This is a suggestion more in detail on what it could look like.

Creating & Assign Roles:

  • Inspired by discord roles, this would be similar to the current player permission choices, a list of toggles but a bit more in detail.
  • Preset roles; Players, Co-Gm, Spectator, each with "suggested" permissions that can be changed.
  • Able to save more roles under different names in verse, or, even toggle permissions on a player-by-player basis.

Secret Assets/NPC's:

  • An easy right-click-toggle of assets in creation pod, or back-end for advanced alternatives.
  • Hides it from anyone with creation powers unless they have the appropriate permission.
  • Hides it from shapeshift and from the menu where you add items to your character.
  • "see secret assets", "see secret npc's" would override this. As would ofc toggling it back to not-secret.
  • Advanced secret asset alternatives;
  • -In backend, toggling "is secret" or "is secret for (role/player)

Personal Secrets:
Ability to assign viewing permissions on a player-by-player (or role) basis for the following things:

  • Character sheets
  • Wiki Pages
  • Placed things (instead of simply "reveal secret", what if there was a choice of, show everyone or show to role/player, imagine the possibilities...)
  • (im forgetting something)

About Character Sheets...
I would like for my players to have more privacy here overall. Like mentioned above with having them only show for the player itself, or have certain pages of the sheet only seen by assigned players.

  • So it'd be neat if a new "sheet view" was added;
    "Outside View" or "Overview/Inspection" If added, gives the sheet a view everyone has permission to see. Name, pronouns, stats, whatever is relevant depending on game.

So that's a lot, and maybe not all would be feasible... But I think it'd be neat so that's it, that's the wishlist!

Hello!! Thank you so much for such an extensive and detailed list 😍

Yeaaah, this all sounds super cool, but also super niche ahah -- i dread seeing the designs for all these sub-menus/menus Blobsweat Maybe something hidden somwhere advanced.. hmm... will have to think about it! Currently, I don't think it fits with any ongoing projects in our roadmap, but I will keep note and surface it to the team in case we touch anything adjacent to secrets!! 🙂

If anything, the main thing is I think... To be able to customize a bit more how things show for different players, main thing for me being to allow secret sheets/handouts only assigned players see. It's something I use a lot of in any other VTTs I use or have used in the past and generally a base feature. 🙏
It's the same vibe as how in irl games a player might get a paper note. Atm I must leave OMM and do this over discord or similar which breaks immersion.
