Region Revamp
#1Collection place for "stuff"
A campaign journal of sorts to put up on the web for my gamers to look at and read at their leisure. What happened at the last session and show dates of previous sessions so they can go back and read if need be.
Somewhere that, while entering what happened during that session, I could link back to a sub of mine (or someone else's) so it gets looked at and shown how the sub was used.
Possibly a place to throw up artwork of maps, monsters, npc's, etc for easier use during and after the game.
Some way to have the players check their XP and Kharmic gains perhaps?
A place where either I or my players could put up a brief paragraph of each players thoughts of the last game. Perhaps in the voice of the character, do this for extra XP or Kharmic points perhaps. Maybe even a place for Strolenites, if opened up to them, could comment on the entries. That may be a bit much. Dunno.

Character Blog: Create a blog for your character and record his/her achievements.

Compatible with all RPGs: Epic Words works with any Role Playing Game system and is genre neutral, so you can have fun with all your campaigns here.
(upgrade)File Storage: Upload your character sheets, maps, handouts, and any other file you may need for your campaign. Never worry about forgetting to bring these bits to your next session when they are available on-line.
(NEW!)Follow: There are some great writers on this site. Become a fan of your favorites and get links to their latest antics on your home page activity.
(NEW!)Friends: Return the compliment, and follow your fans. This upgrades your relationship to Friends. When you hide your posts from public view, you can still let just your friends and players seem them. It's kinda like the "in" crowd for your journal.
And More... robust privacy controls, RSS feeds, custom loot options, personal home page, activity lists, custom campaign colors and background image, email notification options... We're probably forgetting something, but that's good for a quick overview. -
