    After a couple of sessions, my players complained that they don't get notified when something is sent to the DM for approval. For instance, if they cast a spell, there's nothing telling them whether the DM has received it or not. Several times they cast the spell a second time because they thought I (the DM) hadn't seen it. In truth I had, but I was busy looking up stuff and didn't reply right away.

    It would be nice if the players received some kind of feedback that their action had been sent to the DM, and it would be even nicer if they were notified when the DM approves or denies the action, and it would be even even nicer if the action and approval/denial wasn't broadcast to all the players, just the player performing the action and the DM.

    Hail and well met Thorin,

    You make an excellent point that feedback to Players needs to be improved in these cases. Otherwise it's easy for them to think the request was never received and there's currently no feedback is the request was denied/canceled by the Judge.

    I created a new User Story for this improvement, taking down all the details you describe. We're already in the process of improving the interaction with attacking, casting, and other decisions. So it's likely this feedback mechanism will be including in the next major release due later this Summer. More information about the next version will start trickling out over the next few weeks. Expect some significant improvements across the board!

    Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
