Autosummon and shortcuts to summon players to board
What Feature would you like to see included within TaleSpire?
What does it look like, how does it work, how is it used. Paint us a figurative picture.
Currently getting players into a board requires 2 - 3 steps and is hidden from view.
Open the GM menu with the spacebar
Click on the Players Menu
Click on Summon Players To This Board
During the middle of the game while narrating as a dungeon master it’s not obvious to me that my players are not on the board. I need a simpler and quicker method of bringing my players to where I want them.
Here’s the feature
When you switch to a new board with players in the game a popover will show up that says “Would you like to summon players to this board?”
Two buttons will be available for YES and NO.
A checkbox will also show that says “Save selection and never show again”
You can choose to hide and mark a checkbox to never show again.An option in the Game Settings menu will correspond to this selection.
The select list will be called “Auto Summon Players to Board”.
The options will be “Ask (Default)”, “Always”, and “Never”.When switching to a new board on the left side is the avatar “Game Master YOU”
It would be useful to have a button directly under this that says “Add Players” or “Players”.
On hover or click it brings up a player menu where the players can be summoned to the board.-
Add a shortcut key that will summon players to the board.
This shortcut key would also be available to change in the Game Settings Control Keys Map menu.
What situations would this Feature be useful?
Descriptions, examples, interactions with existing features - whatever you can think of to get your idea across!
This is useful while running a game when switching between boards for different scenes.
Additional Thoughts/Details
I have found myself switching to a new board while narrating the game. I forget that I need to summon my players to the board. They responded that they couldn’t see what I was talking about and I fumbled in finding the button to summon players to the board.
