An app to keep track of inter-faction status
Does anyone have any good suggestions for an easy way (on the computer) to keep track of faction vs faction status?
I can play it by hunch and all, but I would like to have a clear visual, for my players, of how things are developing.
We play with everything open in our group, since the players are the ones doing the fiction.
The roll20 “character” sheets^^.
We’ve taken to having the players track the faction status sheet in our game. We pass it along to our “scribe” (the player who enjoys tracking the crew sheet, the shared project clocks, etc) after every score so it can be updated during the Heat segment.
In an online game, that might be more difficult, unless you have a google sheets version of the faction tracker.
kumu.io – Kumu Supports factions as elements, connections as relationships. You can source the data from Google Sheets as well, if you want to.
Mathias Belger Looking for something a bit easier and more visual for the status between each faction.
Sheets tend to be closed and do not create a “bigger picture”
Evan Louscher Do they track other factions status with each other also?
Jakob Oesinghaus Huh, this seems interesting and along the way of what I was thinking. Thank you.
If you go with kumu, I’ve got the factions in a graph here…might save you some work: kumu.io – Blades in the Dark
Miki Petersen Tracking factions specific relationship with each other is a bit beyond what we are doing in our game. We are simply allowing for the GM to state “The Billhooks are now at War with the Grinders and the whole Docks are in an uproar.” or to reveal an 8 segment project clock labeled “Spirit Wardens investigate the Reconciled.” and let the players try to mess with it as they will.
If you are looking for granual faction vs faction tracking than simply who is paying attention to the crew, kumu.io – Kumu is a great way to do it (and Karaktakus Audel linked an already filled out version for Doskvol).
Cheers!
I use a spreadsheet as
a gm to track faction status, faction clocks, faction politics and npc involvement works pretty well
