I love the tab function of the online games, separating discussion and gameplay and recruitment. But you know what's missing? A GM-only tab accessible only by that game's GM. I'd love to shove notes and reminders in a place like that where my player's can't see them.
That would be awesome!
Just be sure that a new GM taking over can take over that tab as well. In other words, don't tie access to the specific user ID for the first GM.
Yep, that's a good point, CS.
Here's what I'd be putting there:
1) Links to forum posts or articles or GM prep
2) Ways in which I plan to alter a scenario (for instance, to make the loot more useful to my players)
3) Homebrew monsters
4) Reminders for later in the campaign
5) The diseases that my PCs have gotten that aren't going to take effect for a few days (which can be weeks in real-world time)...
