Hi there,

I am a newby with Realm Works, but as far as I used it, it is just an AWESOME product.
I am missing one thing, still - most probably I just haven't found it yet, so please correct me, if this feature already is available!
I would love to have an option to track time in-game. I.E. an option, to not how many time hase passed during the game. This would be incredibly handsome for time-based spells or effects, long or short rests and for tracking the calender in the realm. Is there an option to do this?
Thanks ever so much,

KahnB

In the works, though not a feature yet... do a search for the "calendar" thread for details. Till then, you either have to fake it in RW with the default calendar, or utilize an outside source such as open office (for an excel type spreadsheet) or masterplan for managing your game calendar .

Also if you are utilizing Herolab, there is a thread for using Herolab to track spell effects.

Just an add on to this request. It would be nice to have a system to Track in game time of rounds in combat. Even a click button to make 1 Turn has passed in time. Or double click to run real time. If things need the players to act in real time you run the stopwatch. when you finish it tells you how much IN Game time this represents.

Just my 2 Cents

Isn't this more of the function of a VTT (virtual table top) program then Realm Works? I mean keeping track of rounds, spell effects, conditions, line of sight and that kind of thing is already handled by various VTT software packages out there. Realm works, to me, is geared more towards campaign and story management and not the minutia handled by a VTT.

Now some kind of integration with one or more VTT programs would be nice.

Yes that is a good thought as well. But as there aren't a lot of updates going on in the VTT scene, asking here may be my best bet.

d20pro is launching a Kickstarter today for their next version of their VTT. The feature list looks good and expands it to games beyond d20-based. I've been pretty impressed with its importing of HL portfolios, tracking of various conditions/states and automation of combat for the Pathfinder ruleset.

Roll20 is also looking very nice.

HeroLab (and CombatManager) provide initiative trackers (and track other combat stats), which have a turn counter built-in.
