Due to some players moving, we recently took our game to Roll20.net. The character/crew sheets are fantastic, so whoever made those, kudos.
However, I’m looking for pointers on how people write up CLOCKS in real time using the platform. At the table, I used dry erase note cards. The playbooks and crew sheets have a great clock widget, is there something like that for the shared digital space?
How are GMs handling this?
Thanks
I’ve been keeping track on the crew sheet and making that editable by everyone, or I just draw a shitty clock in the freehand tool on the whiteboard/game space thing.
You can set up tables on roll20 that become visible clocks. If you search the g+ I think there’s actually a post somewhere on here with a guide on how to do it (I’m on mobile so I can’t search at the moment).
Another option is to make images of a 4-, 6-, 8- clock at every stage of completion, and then place the appropriate image on the main screen. Kind of painful and not really worth the time, but if you really want a clock on the main space and you don’t want to freehand it, it’ll do the job.
If you don’t mind paying a couple of bucks for work other people have put in, there is a custom game addon that creates custom dice/tokens that you can add to the tabletop and rotate the dice face to illustrate the clocks.
They are very slick looking and augment the clocks on the character sheets nicely.

I use Alex Sipiere’s clocks from here: plus.google.com – I made a couple clocks for roll20 after seeing Alex Blue’s sprawl clocks for…
A few minutes of initial setup, and then seconds to make a new clock.
I will second Chris McDonald. I followed this page pretty closely to create a rollable table for each type of clock. It makes it so you only have to put the token down once, which means you only have to name it and show it to the players once. Would highly recommend.

+1 for Time of Treachery. Works like a charm.
