I've been enjoying this site and many of its features, but I was a surprised to find how bland User Profile pages are. There is not very much information there to be found and I believe that could be expanded upon. After doing a search on the sub-forum here I didn't find any relevant posts on it either, prompting this posting.
My first post, as I noticed is true of many others as well, was in the LFG section of the forum. It struck me that much of the information shared in these posts could be interesting on our profiles as well. Showing how we like to play and what we're seeking out of the game. Perhaps even the option to make the characters we've made also displayed? These would of course be optional so that those who would prefer to keep such things private would be able to do so. Enabling characters or fields on an individual basis as per their preferences.
In the future these might be expanded upon, perhaps adding a questionnaire to help users discover what style of play they enjoy and display it with some small graphics\charts.
What would you like to see added to our Profile pages?
There's plenty of things that could be done to make profiles more interesting and specific ideas are always welcome.
That said, the developers are hard at work on areas of the site that will be directly beneficial to everyone like the new character sheet, more homebrew, and then there's campaigns and other areas.
This doesn't mean that they won't add to profiles, but it will probably be some time away.

I understand the team is already committed to other tasks at this time, and I'm glad to hear they're open to future possibilities. No doubt you've got a queue of tasks to be worked on by now I can see this forum is active. That's good news really, more for us all to look forward to!

ModeratorI imagine this could go hand in hand with the ability to publicly share characters which is not yet available, but coming soon.
