Character Sheet - Have a section that is only shared between the player and the DM

Memories -Share Dm-and-Player -Private-information

When you are creating a world for players there are mostly two statuses of information for both players and DM's: private and public, but there is also the need to have some private information that is shared only between the DM and the player. 

   

Having a section in memories that is private but shared only with the DM would be perfect. You could keep those memories private and then share them with the DM and then make them public on the right moment. 

   

Having a section that can only be shared with a  specific user can be great for so many different uses. 

The Team's Response

Thanks for this suggestion! We agree that private content between the GM and a player is important in many campaign, so we'll look into this! We're planning an update to the campaign manager, and as part of that we'll investigate an implementation of this feature.

    I think this would be useful and could easily tie into the automatic subscriber groups that exist within the world.   I guess my only concern would be how it can be implemented further. Maybe a secrets tab on characters that would allow for each DM and Player to put different information together i.e character rumors or backstory and secret information.

    Ive been looking for this for a long while, only to find out 99% of the things you type are unable to be viewed by your DM as well. To me, it makes things like a notebook or character notes pretty useless, because I want my DM to be able to view them and vice versa!

    I love this idea. It also means I can share secrets with the player.

    I like this. maybe it could be used for parts of a character's backstory that are currently unknown to the other players

    Yes please. I would like to be able to leave notes and private messages for my players that show up in their character screen, but are distinct entries and secrets instead of just the scrapbook.

    Yes, please! I like to be thorough and for my players to be thorough, but some of that stuff is really not something the other players would know! I especially like amelianite's comment below.

    This would be great addition, and it could work similarly like "secrets" in articles.
