TOT – Progress Clock

Progress Clock Tool is part of the Tabletop Overlay Tools (TOT Dock), a suite of lightweight extensions designed for game masters who want more control and immersion at the table.

The Progress Clock gives you a simple, visual way to track tension, countdowns, heists, rituals, or any in-game event that escalates over time. Click to advance the clock, adjust wedges and opacity, drag it where you need it, and let your players feel the pressure as the segments fill. It’s big, bold, and built to stay visible on digital maps and displays without being distracting.

INSPIRATION

The inspiration behind the Progress Clock comes from narrative systems like Blades in the Dark, where clocks create dramatic pacing and real tension. By bringing that concept into a browser overlay, TOT makes it easier to blend story mechanics into any system, from Dungeons & Dragons to Pathfinder to your favorite indie RPGs.

INSTALLATION

Installation is easy. Once added, the Progress Clock sits inside the shared TOT Dock, a unified bar that hosts multiple tools. The dock keeps everything organized and consistent, with one place to launch whichever overlay you need. Each tool can be toggled on or off independently, so your screen stays uncluttered.
