 Time Tracker
Time Tracker is designed to be a visible reference to both players and the DM. It can assist in keeping track of events, add some urgency to game play, and visualize time
as a resource with consequences. Laminating the time tracker is recommended so that notes can be added with a dry erase marker.

Initiative Track

Located at the very top of the time tracker is a simple initiative track. Each player places a token or pawn on the
initiative track in the order of their turn.

Stages, Hours, and Events Spent Time Track & Event Segments Combat Time/Seconds & Minutes

Each hour is made up of six segments (10, 20,

Each day is divided into 6 stages: Early
Morning, Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night,
and Late Night -- these stages make up the
outermost ring. Each of these stages contains
four 1 hour segments.
Place a token or pawn on the current in-game
hour segment. The token will move clockwise
as time passes -- this will be the hour marker.
To mark future event(s) (e.g. a spell ends, an
NPC arrives, a comet appears, a torch goes
out, a portal opens, the drugs wear off) place a
d6 on the hour of the event with the minute
facing upward (use 10 minute increments:
1=10, 2=20, 3=30, 4=40, 5=50, 6=60). When
the hour marker reaches the hour of the event
move the d6 to the corresponding Event
Segment (see the next column over for event
segments).

ring. Each of these segments loosely represents
the time it takes to preform an out of combat

information, break down a door, climb a tree, During combat the use of seconds and/or

that event’s d6 on to the STT when a player

triggers the event. If there is more than one
event on an event segment all are triggered, but
only one d6 is moved -- the rest are discarded.
When the Spent Time Track is full, roll the 6d6.
If any 1s are rolled, bad stuff happens.

Days, Weeks, Months, and Seasons

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

The top bar, numbered 1-7, is used to track the days of a week. The bar below that tracks 4 weeks per month,
3 months in a season (blue: winter, green: spring, yellow: summer, orange: fall) and 12 months per year. Each
of these can be checked off as time passes.

Notes

Use this to help keep track of events or whatever else.
