Foundry: Player (not Author) Suggestions

I frequently find I need to work around the Search facility for what I want rather than utilise it. Here are the 2 main things that I would like to see (they are entirely personal - so make of them what you want). ;)

1. Implement a search criteria for Campaigns.
Campaign has a specific meaning, even has a specific icon but to search for campaigns I need to search free text for that word in the Description field. Again, personally speaking, I don't want to see individual quests that are described as part of a campaign or those that include campaign in the narrative - when I search for campaigns that's what I want to see. ;p

2. A Foundry Log (or My Playlist or similar)
I'd quite like a Tab which lists the foundries I have completed, including either my review for it or the option to mark it as 'Repeatable' (or similar). That way I can see what I have done before and those which I enjoyed enough to want to do again.

My Playlist (or whatever) could also be used (if implemented) to keep foundries not yet played but are thought of interest for the future.

Any thoughts on these or other Foundry Player wishes?

Ofc if there are specific ways to do these already, as described, then feel free to say so, point and laugh. :D

    I would like to see those too. However you can tell weather you have played a quest before on the accept button, it will say (again) if you have played it before. However it seems to reset now and again, which is rather odd.

    It would be nice to separate quests and campaigns, however it is worth mentioning that not all campaigns are finished. So a campaign may only have one quest.

    Plus 1 by me!, I too would find a log of played Foundaries, along with the date/time would be very useful

    Might is not always right - the powerful sometimes forget that.

    Yep, I'm happy with Campaigns being work in progress. There are some I regularly check to see if there is a follow-on - think I did that with The Nether Scroll and that proved worth the wait. :D

    Sometimes knowing it is intended as part of a longer story is enough to entice me in before I resort to single Quest plots.

    Try "And Justice for All." campaign its about to get its fifth update, I have been trying hard to stick to the one new mod per month. 4 done one almost ready and two to go! I will finish it as well. Have to much time in it to not.

    That is a pretty good idea.
