Big thanks to the team! In the last year I completed my first two full Pathfinder adventure paths that were run from start to end on Demiplane: Sky King’s Tomb and Season of Ghosts. Both were incredible experiences with memories that will live on for a long time and Demiplane helped our adventure group to move from 5e to Pathfinder with a minimum of issues. We’ve since started our next adventures (Kingmaker, Abomination Vaults and Prey for Death).
One of the largest issues that has faced us over the time using this site is of course loading performance, and while there have been massive performance improvements, especially noticeable around loading of side panels like adding equipment, etc. there’s definitely more work that could be done here for initial opening of sheets.
Here are a list of some other features and fixes I would like to request for consideration in the next year that would greatly improve my gaming group’s experience:
== Sitewide features:
-
Updated topbar: Would love to be able to customize the top bar menu to be able to pin favorite characters, adventure paths, rulebooks and specific rules for quick reference
-
Limited content sharing: exclude adventure content from being shared to players
-
Character slot booster pack: for players that have maxed out their character slots after several years of playing, the ability to purchase packs of extra character slots in 5s or 10s, that could be gifted by the GM to players
-
Upcoming release calendar: Since releases differ from Paizo dates, it would be nice to know when to expect books to go live on Demiplane (especially for prepurchased items)
-
Currently the front page has almost no functionality: would be nice to have blog posts show up or at least a blog link, also, if the favorites that I requested get pinned to the top menu could also show up somewhere on the front page or game front page it would make these pages much more useful
-
Avrae-style discord plugin to post rolls to a specified discord channel
== Missing content: PFS rest of year 6 content coming? Other years? Looking forward a lot to the next year’s war!
== Library page features:
-
Pinning/favoriting books to the top
-
Hiding books (legacy books, playtest books,) folding of categories (PFS, Adventures, etc.)
-
It should be able to display bundled books (especially APs) in the library view as a single stack to conserve space
-
When the page width crosses a threshold, the current five per row to three per row view, the much larger three per row view is both jarring and undesired, due to the large amount of vertical space this takes
-
I have never used gifting of books since I can share them anyway… can I toggle the gift icon off… as noted the only “gift” option I really would like is gift to subscription or to character slot packs.
-
I have the ultimate bundle, and although as new items are released it becomes relevant again, it would be nice to toggle off the ultimate bundle banner if I’m paid up
== Search page features:
- A way to “grab” and hold items into a list… like say I’m searching for monsters or items and as I find the monsters to include in an encounter or items in a shop, I would love if the search interface had a place I could hold onto a collection of things or a button to “add to collection” so I can make collections of things… this would also be useful for someone trying to pick feats/spells so they can grab good candidates as they go through the big list and then compare just the candidates
== All books:
-
The navigation list on the left should have a “Return to Table of Contents” link
-
For bundled books there should be a way to navigate to other books in the bundle and the bundle top page, including the Player’s Guide
== Character sheet features:
-
other statuses/conditions (like poisons, diseases, inspire courage, bless, etc.)
-
More character sheet themes please
-
Investigator strategic strike roll to hit… which I’ve heard is coming but still waiting on
== Party features: it would be wonderful if there was a space for something with the following features:
-
shared dice roller,
-
shared loot box,
-
shared notebook/quest log
-
Campaign character chart: gives the GM a one stop place to see character stats, which is required for performing secret checks, a core mechanic of the game… it could also be used when a player isn’t present and other players need to make checks for the missing player. As a reminder, what I’m looking for is a compact chart something like this (note this image is a WIP with the top entry transitioning to a different format for each row):
