Plot Secrets with GM Mode

This mod allows scenario creators to obscure plot secrets directly on Story Cards. [[PS This text would be obscured the player, but the AI receives the text unaltered. PS]] Players will see [[Plot Secrets]] if they snoop into the a Story Card that has a secret. GM Mode bypasses those secrets and can be toggled on and off if the password is sent. /gmMode raven //This example of the GM Mode functionuses the default password.
